Apparently.
Should whether he can keep his cock in his pants have anything to do with his ability to be England manager?

England have done better under Sven than under many others. If England ultimately fail to win tournaments it has a lot more to do with the fact that they're not good enough than that its manager has a life outside football and- horror of horrors!- has cheated on his girlfriend.
This country is is becoming more and more like the puritan USA. It's as pathetic as is ridiculous.
I really don't get why people's private lives are so damn important, it's like with Beckham, the only person it concerns is him and his wife.
Anyway, that's not the issue, as usual I'm going OT. To answer the question: no, not at all. He should be judged on his merits as a manager and team-builder, and of course the results he produces. He and Nancy could be swingers for all I care.
I do suppose it will draw comparisons to Hoddle, but it doesn't warrant any...because Hoddle is a twat and what he said deserved a public thrashing imo, nevermind redundancy.
But please god dont let McClaren be manager.
Who would you have as the manager????
Owen was shit because of Svens tactics. He had one chance all tournament-one goal. Not bad. He was shit because when we went ahead, we defended and the midfiled and defence were too far away from the forwards and owen cannot out muscle centre backs. And before you talk about Rooney he was playing deeper than Owen so he saw more ball.
Svens tactics are good for a league. But World cups and euro championships are not leagues im afraid. But as i have said before i give Sven abit of credit, he has made us a good solid side, but we could be so much more than that.
As for who to replace him, i havnt got a clue. I think its too soon for any good english manager but he will have two years to learn the trade and with our side we should easily qualify. So i feel- Steve Bruce or Alan Curbishly.
If its really down to the players abilitys, England have some big problems.
An England manager cannot rectify this in such a short period of time- if he tries and gets the players together longer, then all the clubs whinge, bleating about how the players are being over-played (whilst still refusing to lower the amount of games played in the Chumpions League).
How far should England be going then? If you look at the FIFA rankings then England are going about as far as they can expect to, the players are not world-beaters. They're very good, but they don't have the extra bit of class required, as Brazil showed so magnificently in 2002.
Well you tell me who decides then? Its human nature to sit back abit yes. But its also human nature to listen to the man in charge. Sven should of been gettin Sammy or steve mcclaren to scream push out. We give teams too much respect. in the 1st half we outplayed France, when we played a good balanced game. Why did that really have to change. Yes be abit more cautious, dont give away a league. But dont stop going to look for another goal.
And as for Portugal, we are a better side.
and then look at other options if we don't do well.
5 years in the job and failure to get beyond the quarter finals in 3 sucessive major tournements wouldn't be good enough progress.
The fact that he did little to discourage the approaches of Chelsea show a lack of commitment which are more worrying than shagging his PA.
*yawn*
Why SHOULD he have come out and said anything abotu some cock-and-bull story The Scum came up with. It's the same with Vieira Mark 67, the papers make stories up out of nothing and then say it shows a lack of commitment when the people involved don't deny it.
The newspapers in this country are far mroe to blame for any failure England have had than the players ever will be. I blame The Scum for Beckham's performances.
What and Greece are?
Defensive and one-dimensional?
Isn't that why you hate Eriksson?
Make your mind up :rolleyes:
Greece do it because they have no real quality. They are like the germans. They can defend as a unit. And defend quite well. Where as England do not play in this way.
No.
And maybe if they did they might win something :yeees:
That is the only way Greece can play to have a chance of winning so they probably practiced it before and throughout the tournament. England however won't of being practicing it as it is not there natural game and they do have enough quality to not play like this. When the human nature has them sat back England looked rubbish, no-one in the right mind would instruct England to play this way. If Erikkson did then I agree, get him out, but I honestly believe it was the players doing more than his.
The point im getting at, is Greece go out to defend and catch teams on the counter. Because in the german and greek leagues they play like this.
No one really plays like that in the premiership do they really? The game is fast and frantic, with high energy levels. Why dont England play like that?
1. David James (only liability imo)
2. G.Neville (didn't used to like him but thought he was excellent in Euro 04)
3. A.Cole (played well)
4. Sol Cambell (excellent tournament, world class player)
5. Terry (did Ok, world class player)
6. Lampard (played well, world class player)
7. Beckham (played shit, world class player)
8. Gerrard (did excellently, world class player)
9. Rooney (played excellently, world class player)
10. Owen (played shit, world class player)
11. Scholes (did average, world class player)
So to me looking at that line-up,expectations are bound to be high because we have some amazing individual talents, unfortunately for us not all performed as we know they can.
If you can prove that his affair affected
Then the public have the right to ask for him to be removed. But it is still the employers decision.
The FA have a different issue, as an employer, to expect him to tell them the truth and not to embarrass the organisation. To do so is gross misconduct in any walk of life. If they feel that he has breached this trust then as an employer they can sack him. However, that is between him and his employer and the public (and more importantly the media) have no right to intervene in this issue.
Can't say I shed any tears either.
