I would like to see Michael Laudrup come in as he is one of the brightest young managers in the game and would transform our dull playing style. Sven was so defensive it was ridiculous, now let’s move on!

Good luck Sven you were a sound manager and been badly treated…we need a proven man in charge but who would fancy it with Sinatra playing silly buggers! we are a laughing stock!

GOOD RIDDANCE TO ERIKSSON! Well done Thaksin, he realised he was not the right man for the job we need a forward thinker not a dull defensive coach!

I think Mark Hughes is more appropriate, because he know what the English league need more than others and that the side’s is very good coach like when he was a player.

Lets face up to reality here, Sven was a good step forward from the dire days of Pearce/Keegan etc but you have to admit, if you’ve seen all the games this season, we played some pretty poor football for the most part. In fact, apart from the “honeymoon” period of the first few months leading up to November there were times when i thought i was watching a Scottish Second Division team in action!
Bring on Sparky and lets get crackin’…

lol you lot are nuts are you all still members of the save sven brigade, you all loved him during the season, he got you your highest points total in the prem ever and signed loads of great players for decent sums of cash in about a week, he did fantastically well for his first season in charge and im not even a city fan, he even did the double of united in a year they one the league and champs league!

madness, i thought sven did well last season. Remember the early form showed and the football being played Aug/September. If it wasn’t for a series of injuries to key players then Elano wouldn’t have played right back and Richards would have been able to keep things steady. If Thaiboy had given him until Xmas you would have seen a massive turnaroud as he would have strengthened the squad during the summer and the team would be back to playing good football within a couple of games……oh well
