People can say what they like about the bloke but if city do get rid then that is disgusting.

I am not particularly bothered about city or Eriksson, but the City owner Shinawatra is a very very dodgy character. (And also very very rich)

...but he's little and kind of cute looking, so he's alright by me.

Think Sven has hardly set the world alight there though, they are very very boring to watch and as they state City have had a very poor 2nd half of the season.

I think he has done bloody well.He has had to mix his new signings with a bag of shite from last season and has improved ten fold this last season.I thought it was about progression improve on last season and so on.

I think they need to give him time to get it right...

Look at his signings though, nearly 30 million: In: Vedran Valeri Bojinov (Fiorentina, undisclosed), Corluka (Dinamo Zagreb, Undisclosed) , Elano (Shakhtar Donetsk, £8m), Javier Garrido (Real Sociedad, £1.5m), Joe R Bianchi (Reggina, £8.8m), Geovanni (Cruzeiro, free), G Fernandes (Sion, undisc) Petrov (atheltico madrid)

Out of all of those only Petrov has been a real success and Elano has been a bit hot and cold.  If a manager I had appointed had wasted so much money and had an alarming slide down the league I would want to chat to him as well end of season to see where it all went wrong.

For his first season Elano has done better than hot and cold, 3 of those players have been out injured for some time aswell and he is going to recoup the Bianchi cash.

Although Benjani is a weird one.

Benjani he often plays as a lone striker there as boring as Chelsea alot of the time.  They had alot of scrape 1-0 wins based on a great defence but as soon as the defence lost form the bubble burst.  Starting to feel Sven is a bit over rated personally.
