Looking Back On Five Years Of Sven
It's Sven Goran Eriksson's five year anniversary as England coach today and 45eachway would like to mark this special occasion with five pros and cons from Sven's half a decade(!) in charge. As you always should, we give the bad news first:
Bad News
Good News
There are still complaints that Sven is not English, but
a) that's not his fault, and
b) who else was there in January 2001? Peter Reid? Exactly.
45eachway hopes we'll look back on Sven as an excellent foreign stop gap for a period when decent English gaffers were thin on the ground. There are some other things we're not keen on (the sex scandals, the extortionate salary) but they don't really affect what happens on the pitch. There's Owen Hargreaves too, but even he's not that bad.
Sven must be doing something right to have stayed in such a high pressure job for so long, and England really are looking quite good in the run up to Germany. So, Mr. Eriksson, on your five year anniversary we salute you. Now go win us the World Cup.
