Sven's Man City Move

Hello again,

I just gathered that former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson has agreed to a 3 year deal to succeed Stuart Pierce as Manchester City's manager.

There has been mixed reactions in the North East of England abou this move. There is a general belief that Sven is not good enough to be Man City's manager considering the fact that he did not "succeed" as England's head coach.

What a load of rubbish?

Sven not good enough for Man City? City fans must think that theirs is the biggest club in the world. I'm not a big fan of Eriksson but it's quite obvious that he is big enough, if not bigger than the Man City job.

This man has won more trophies in his career than what Man City has earned in their entire history.

Let's take a look at Sven's club CV.
