Why is everyone so upset with the possibility of Sven coming?
He actually did well at City (until he knew he was off and they got dicked at Middlesbrough) and his club record ain't half bad.
He made the fatal mistake of becoming England manager (England fans & media will never be happy until we win the World Cup - problem is, our players are shit) and since then nobody has given him a fair chance.
I'd get him in on a one year deal. If he does a good job, then offer him a 3 year contract. He'd have more clout in the Transfer Market than any of the names we are being linked with.
