Webbo Posted 24 June 2013 Posted 24 June 2013 Yakubu showed he could still cut it in the PL when he went to Blackburn and scored 15 goals. We'll not have a player of his calibre at the club again for a long while. Sven was a pleasure to have as manager, it didn't work out but i'll not forget him. Well... yes. Wasn't he signed for Blackburn by Steve Kean? Doesn't that prove anyone can sign a big name if you offer them enough money.

Because he loves the idea of an ambitious project? Yeh, right. Sven has had all the big jobs he could possibly hope for (and since his time in Italy he hasn't impressed) so it's no surprise he wasn't bothered what happened to us. He came here for a big payday and anything else was a bonus. But if you can post something that suggests he had some sort of clue here or that he had any passion for the job I'd love to read it!

Fox92 Posted 24 June 2013 Posted 24 June 2013 Agree with ric and have gone on record before.Lots to enjoy under sven(according to nancy boom). Short memories remember the position points wise we were in before he arrived.Yak,Naungton Van Anholt,Vassell even football at pace.Quite enjoyed watching ricardo dribble over half way.Sven was brilliant with the press(compared to you know who)absolute gent. However he had his failings and the owners pulled the trigger so we moved on.Got us out of a deep doo doo I remember the position and points before he arrived! Any other manager would not have paid a lot of money for short term loans like Yakubu and Naughton. He got us out of the mess at the bottom of the table, I thank him for that. But what I don't thank him for is paying ridiculous amounts of cash (and don't say Andrew Neville signs it, Sven was the manager ffs) for average players, and dismantling our best squad since 02/03... He got rid of Hobbs and Morrison both for less than a million. I still hate thinking about that. And thanks to the overpaying of players, Nigel Pearson (or any manager that would have come in after) is now stuck with Beckford, Danns, St Ledger etc. But then people moan saying 'summer is rubbish, we haven't signed anyone and because of this we're going to finish 24th ahhhhh'. Also, wow, he was a gent with the press! Well done. But that is not priority when you're a football manager - just look at Alex Ferguson and Brian Clough (two of the greatest managers ever).
deep blue Posted 24 June 2013 Posted 24 June 2013 I remember the position and points before he arrived! Any other manager would not have paid a lot of money for short term loans like Yakubu and Naughton. He got us out of the mess at the bottom of the table, I thank him for that. ... A few here have echoed those sentiments, but I don't buy it. Any manager with an ounce of sense could have turned us round without spending a penny, simply by reverting to the formation and football we had played under NP in the previous season with the existing personnel. I did still enjoy the time he spent here though, even given that he ultimately left us in a mess, and found him a very likeable person (rogue?).

You said he'd got no insight ..... his 27 trophies seem to indicate otherwise. You said he has no passion .... the fact that he could retire at any time and not need a payday suggests that it was for the love of the game (or the buzz of success) and not for a payday that he came to us. It's old ground and I certainly can't be bothered to change people's opinions that blindly follow the crowd. This thread is about the Richards fellow .... is he the new chairman or not and what's happened to this story?
Dan Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 I'm with you on this one Ric. Jees some of the blinkered visionaries on here are just unbelievable. Manager gets the hoof from a club and after is supposed to then follow us home and away as has been muted is a joke. We will never know where we would have ended up cos he was never given a full season. Still believe it was purely for financial reasons added to the point of announcing the Thais profile into English football. Look people we can sign a name. It is blatantly obvious they are not as rich as they make out added to the fact it is also clear they know naff all about football. I would go as far to say that if any other manager at any other club had only won three games in seventeen as our present one has they would have been given the boot long ago regardless of who it was. Yes pearsonites that is a dig at your beloved Nigel. If Pearson had spent the money Sven did to bring in players who didn't give a shit, who couldn't win two on the spin, couldn't turn up away from home, then yes I'd have wanted him out. It's nothing to do with who it is - it's what they did and what Sven did in 11/12 was nothing short of disastrous. A huge shame because in 10/11 he'd filled me with encouragement even if we did eventually fall.

You're seriously claiming Sven came here for anything other than money? His 'love of the game' is impossible not to have. It is impossible to not love a game where you can keep being paid silly money time and time again for constant failure. Why wouldn't he love that? The man can't lose.

seenitall Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 In other words a yes man who has no real football insight or passion. Eriksson improved England's FIFA World Ranking from 17th place in January 2001 to 5th place in July 2006, reaching 4th during the 2006 World Cup, and was rated by the FA as England's second most successful manager after Alf Ramsey. Manchester City subsequently qualified through the extra place awarded to the Premier League for finishing as the highest placed team who hadn't already qualified for a European competition in the UEFA Fair Play League for 2007–08. Eriksson became the first Manchester City manager since 1969–70 to win both league derby games against Manchester United and also achieved the club's joint highest Premier League point total, 55. Eriksson waived a multi-million payoff in order to assist the takeover therefore chairman Trew described him as an "absolute gentleman". Notts County went up as League 2 Champions at the end of the season. He was appointed manager of Leicester City on 3 October 2010 as the Foxes sat in the relegaton zone of the Championship.[32][33] His first league game in charge resulted in a 1–1 draw against Hull City, managed by Nigel Pearson who had managed Leicester for the previous two seasons. This was quickly followed by Leicester's first victory under Eriksson, beating Leeds 2–1 at Elland Road.[34] Boosted by the loan signings of players such as Kyle Naughton and later Yakubu, results steadily improved under Eriksson as Leicester gradually began to climb the table, until a good run of form in the new year saw Leicester win seven of their first eight league games of 2011[35] and also take Premier League title-challengers and eventual cup-winners Manchester City to a replay in the FA Cup. On 18 February 2011, after an injury-time winner from Martyn Waghorn at home to Bristol City, Leicester had climbed to 7th in the table and just one point off a play-off place. It may not have worked out for him here but some of the bollocks written by his detractors is shameful and actually shows no football insight at all - all of the above came after the 27 trophies - we won't be seeing an England team in the quarters for a long time and I dread to think what would have happened if NP had returned when we were bottom of the table.......let's move on, the mistake was made to bring someone who was used to working at a higher level than our owners could cope with financially, them panicking when they realised it wouldn't work. Pitiful are the Nige apologists (Babylon etc) who claim that the appallling 19 points from 13 games was good enough reason for him to go but similarly the shite run of 17 or 18 games that Nige went on with far less points should be accepted. Sad days. - Let's hope Richards has the balls or the juice to sort it out

Sad days. - Let's hope Richards has the balls or the juice to sort it out Classically ignorant sense of perspective there - between that February and Sven's sacking we'd taken about 30 points from a possible 84 or something, with an enormous spending spree in the middle. If Sven was capable of taking us up he'd have done it in the first season, when the 7 wins from 8 had us 6 points off 2nd with 15 games left.

Corky Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 We must be the only set of fans that praise a bloke who spent millions and finished mid-table, then was on course for mid-table again and slag off a man who has finished higher than him several times with fewer resources.
