Irrelevant Nick KP 0 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Sven won the Double in 3 different countries, taking Gothenburg to UEFA Cup glory, Lazio to glory in the Cup-Winners' Cup and UEFA Super Cup, as well as taking Benfica to the final of the Champions League. He led England in 2 World Cups and 1 European Championship, and never failed to take them to the quarter-finals, a feat which eluded Hoddle, Keegan, McClaren and (thus-far) Capello. It was absolutely ridiculous of the FA to sack Sven (although I'll admit that they shouldn't have offered him such a large salary. Quarter-Finals are nice, but we shouldn't be paying 5 million a year for them, when Uruguay have proved that you can get a semi-final for 400,000 a year). I remember vehemently defending Sven when he was facing a barrage of criticism in 2006. But then he went into decline. Man City... He disappointed at Man City. Mexico... He disappointed at Mexico. Ivory Coast... He only had 3 matches with Ivory Coast, and although they got knocked out in World Cup round 1, they had the best stats of that half of the World Cup teams that suffered 1st-round elimination Then... Leicster City... He came to them when they were very near the bottom, and steered them to an eventual 10th place (and didn't spend so much money I think (or did he? I know he brought in Darius Vassell). So, what do people think? Would you welcome him back into the England job? He's such a gentleman, and never moans about refs or gives excuses and is so respectful. A true diplomat, and I'm so happy that his fortunes seem to have changed? So, Sven for England?

Christmas Tree 4003 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Only one man for the job now and thats Arry. Much as I dont like the bloke that much, he needs a shot at it. Its a fact that our players are not as good as others, but what we can do is create that blood and guts never say die attitude. Time to drop the foreigners and bring in Arry.

Keegan was overawed by the job and a bit like a rabbit in the headlights where as Harry is a bit older, wiser and will bluff / bullshit his way through any mistakes giving him a better chance of succeeding, in my contrary view.

Tom 13915 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Bluffing and bullshitting is no way to do a job, Redknapp isn't a loveable cockney, he's a loath-able cunt and to say he as more experience than Keegan at ''that level'' - which I presume is international football - is unsubstantiated madness.

Maybe I havent explained it very well. Harry is better equipped emotionally to deal with the pressures of the England Job than Keegan. And one mans loath-able cunt is another mans loevable cockney. He would certainly get a decent honeymoon from the majority of the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR T 0 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I liked Sven as England manager. I thought he did reasonably well in his time. The fact that our players shit their breaches when they get to International tournaments goes deeper than the manager in charge. To say he hasn't spent much money at Leicester is a bit misleading. He's spent an awful lot of money in fact, bringing in players such as Curtis Davies, Yakubu and Vassell who are all on large wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
