Title: eriksson as manager? Post by: STFCere on Tuesday, July 11, 2006, 10:58:13 if you were the chairman of a top english team, say, arsenal or liverpool, would you take on eriksson?
i think anyone considering taking him must be mad, he would demand a huge salary, would fall out of favour quickly with us english fans who demand a bit of amination and passion, bottles it and clueless when things go to shite, plays a formation that doesnt suit the team and all in all is a complete prat Title: eriksson as manager? Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, July 11, 2006, 11:06:56 with his style of management and approach to 'tactics' i'd say italy would be perfect for him, where he can defend 1-0 leads all he likes.
Title: eriksson as manager? Post by: Bogus Dave on Tuesday, July 11, 2006, 11:11:52 International and club management are two totally different animals. You cannot deny that erikksn has got a very good record as a club manager, and for all his critics, has not done to bad as manager of the english side. He took over England when we were bottom of our group, and not looking likely to qualify. We'd stunk out at euro 200, and only bloody drew with finland for fuck sake. 3 major tournaments, 3 quarter finals. That loked a mile off 6 years ago. His tactics are a bit one dimensional, and he is a bit defensive, but his match-by-match record as ebgland manager speaks for itself. If it were a league, then england would be right up there near the top. Like it or not, results wise, Erikson is one of our most succesful managers, and without him, Englad may well not be the team they are at this current moment. My personal opinion is that he stayed on for 1 tournament too many, but overall, he has done alot to change the state of England football for the better.
Title: eriksson as manager? Post by: Piemonte on Tuesday, July 11, 2006, 11:12:43 I dont think his next job will be in this country.
He'll want a big club, and there arnt any jobs available that fit the bill here, nor would he be considered for them if there was. Title: eriksson as manager? Post by: Stef Troll on Tuesday, July 11, 2006, 11:18:52 He's a great manager, but i don't think his heart was in the England job - i guess it gets annoying when the English media and English fans moan at every decision he makes.
He got England to 3 quarter finals. The first 2 quarter finals were great results considering England wern't realistically expecting to win the tournament. However the last tourney may have been a bit of a let down, as England had a resonable chance of at least gettiing to the finals. Title: eriksson as manager?

End of thread. Title: eriksson as manager? Post by: Stef Troll on Tuesday, July 11, 2006, 12:31:27 Well England will never have a good manager untill they win a tournament it seems. Can't see McLaren lasting long then :D

Opposite of winning is losing. Ergo, we are World Cup Losers.
Title: eriksson as manager? Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, July 11, 2006, 15:58:36 Sir Alf Ramsey won the WC, and then was generally castigated as being a crap manager by media and pundits.....and some fans.
Bobby Robson was vilified by some England fans and press, despite nearly getting to WC final....and then went on to prove how good he was at a number of clubs Eriksson's record speaks for itself, but can't see him getting Chelsea Arsenal Manure or Liverpool, and the other jobs are nowhere, so imagine he'll move abroad. Slagging off the England manager is a kneejerk habit of Sun readers....when a bit of thought might reveal why we produce such overhyped players with little commitment to the national side.

Or isyour tourettes particularly bad at this time of year? Title: eriksson as manager?

Title: eriksson as manager? Post by: STFCDude on Tuesday, July 11, 2006, 22:58:55 I think Man Ure may come calling for him. Fergie is over a barrel with the Ronaldo and V Nistelrooy situation. The Glazers want to keep them both, and I think if either of them leave the Glazers may have a long hard look at replacing him.

I don't care. I hate this 'one up front' shit. I would love it if a top coach had the bottle to play 2-3-5 with left halves and inside rights, wingers, the lot. It would be worth doing just for the shock value! |
