It's (maybe) sven.

Having watched countless managers come and go, if it is Sven, let's give him a chance and not write him off before he's signed a contract. Sven got a lot of bad press in the UK because of the England job, but that doesn't make him a bad manager. Look at Steve McLaren, who won the Dutch title and is now at Wolfsburg. If he came back to the UK he'd be panned, but elsewhere he is respected.

I'm not Sven's biggest fan by a long shot. If MON was even slightly keen I'd urge the board to sign him up immediately, but I can't see him stepping back. However, it's a nice position to be in, to have two managers of this calibre after the managers job (allegedly).

Everyone must admit, it's better than Dowie, Gregory or Bryan Robson being linked with the job!

:thumbup: totally agree.........brings back some sense of optimism for at least the rest of the season (or next 9 League games). Hopefully the Far East consortium don't get too bored too quickly :unsure:

Sven notoriously turned a selfish ivory coast team playing for themselves into a team at lightening speed. Their previous manager was he would never do it but he did. He is a fantastic diplomat and that’s one of his many skills. He doesn’t like negative talk and never put up with it whilst with England and all his other teams. Droga and Co wanted him to stay but he wants club football plus they cant afford him.

oh yeah the Ivory Coast were dynamite at the world cup!!

If MON has held talks with us then why aren't we appointing him? If it was a straight race between those two then surely it's a no brainer?

It's just rumoured he has, and it's also rumoured he's said he's not interested.

Who knows...

Bert?

Harsh.

In a group with Brazil and Portugal, they hardly had the luck of the draw.

A) Why would he have talks if he wasn't interested?

B) Why would he be the bookies 2nd fav if it was just a rumour? The bookies know their shit.

C) Sky Sports are supposed to have learnt that he's had talks, Sky Sports wouldn't say it if they didn't think it was true. They're not The Sun.

I just want him back!

Sky have been wide of the mark in the past, through their sources, with transfer targets (Ephraim and Buszacky springs to mind), and the LMA Guy reckons he's spoken to O'Neill and there's been no contact....but to be honest in this game it feels like nobody's word is worth taking at face value at all any more !!

I'm interested at how far up the odds Curbishley is - now that would be a legend appointment.

If we can potentially get Sven or MON then Alan Curbishly looks like Ian Dowie's pet dog.

Agree, but if Sven decides he doesn't fancy it, rather see somebody like Curblishley waiting in the wings than some of the no-hopers that were mentioned on alleged shortlists in the summer

if we get sven can someone tell me where vthe stability is vat the club because i can not see it

Well, given Sven's Managerial History, he's been at most clubs for at least a couple of years. He'd probably still be at Man City if they didn't have mental owners. Then again, we wouldn't be talking about Sven if we didn't have mental owners.

I wouldn't have taken Sven over MON but i would have taken him over every single one of the other managers linked with us, still struggling to get my head around it to be honest, major coup by the club.

Could be exciting times ahead, cast aside your reservations and enjoy the ride.

:cool:

Spot-on.

There will be plenty of unhappy people and granted he does bring baggage but ultimately it is a good appointment.

If it is as expected Sven, I'd like to him to appoint an English assistant who knows the league well. It's likely Tord Grip will be in Sven's coaching staff.

Chris Powell would be a great candidate for this - I think Sven gave him his first England cap so I assume the two have a very good relationship. He's a popular figure and knows the players well.

Alternative is a popular figure from Leicester's past who still has strong links to the club, similar to the way Steve Clarke was appointed by Mourinho - perhaps Walsh or Izzet?

So, it's not officially Sven then?

It's still speculation, isn't it???

No official announcement. The Daily Mail said we would sign Rosenior and that didn't happen so they are not 100% reliable!

Cheers chap, it's a bit hard on here sometimes to distinguish news from speculation...

I doubt something can grab this much media without a reliable source. Signing will probably be completed tomorrow and announced at the game i would assume.

I hope the fans attending appreciate it (if its right of course) or it could remoralize the team tomorrow if some of our fans dont agree with this announcement (if there is one) and boos.

Would be great to get confirmation at the game tomorrow. Anyone else care to speculate as to whether they think it will happen tomorrow?
