Sven Should Always Be This Candid

Pitiful as the News Of The World 'fake sheikh' sting was, it's somehow comforting to hear that Sven's views on certain players are in synch with reality. 45eachway will sleep better at night knowing Sven shares our views on Rio Ferdinand.

In this era of spin, media savvy managers always have their guard up, making things like press conferences more or less pointless. But what if...

...what if every time Sven sat at that long table full of microphones and whichever Sky Sports News anchor was on duty (we like Kelly Dalglish) said "and now we go over to the England press conference with Sven Goran Eriksson", what if instead of the usual "We did a good game" snoozefest Sven told it like it was.

I would love to hear Sven saying things like "David James was a disaster, he won't be playing in the next game," or "What the hell is wrong with Gerrard? He always looks so good in a Liverpool shirt."
