Was it really 'the S*n wot made him sign'?
:no:
It was the Sun wot whipped up the whole furore in the first place.
Assholes.
After all, it's a great way of scaring the FA into giving you a bigger pay rise than you would otherwise have got.
I think that they would follow him anyway, but I do agree that he used this to get more money. I'm not convinced that he was ever going to leave the job.
I can't believe all this "loyalty" hypocrisy though. The FA showed Hoddle and Venables very little loyalty, and the media haven't shown any England manager any loyalty for decades...
Can't expect Eriksson to have that much loyalty for England when they were queuing up to complain about Johnny Foreigners from "a country of skiers who spend 6 months a year in darkness" taking charge, can they? :mad:
Why shouldn't Sven look at other offers? How much loaylty do you have for the company you work for? Wouldn't you move for more money? I don't believe that Sven ever pledged that he would still be England coach after Euro 2004.
There aren't many coaches that have the credentials he has got, even less who would look twice at the England job. They should stop moaning.
Why does he have to say it? He has signed a contract- that shows enough "loyalty" for me.
He'd be a fool to not listen to otehr offers, everyone does it. The only one who wouldn't would probably be Alex Ferguson now.
And I don't know of any England fan, or member of the press, who have said that they would have backed him regardless of results in Portugal.
We all knowthat both would have been on hisback if England play badly, in fact they still will.
Yet in spite of the intrusions and the abuse, they seem to expect him to show the ultimate loyalty. I really don't hink that he owes us anything, except to try his hardest to win. I would be very surprised if anything would have stopped him doing that anyway...
