Sven to quit
The FA have announced that Sven-Goran Eriksson will quit the England Managers job after the World Cup finals in Germany
The FA have agreed a compensation package that will buy out his contract two years earlier than expected, but will allow him to see England through to the World Cup.
Sven has weathered many storms during his six year career as England Manager, most of them his own doing, but this was one storm too many.
Stitched up in a sting by the News of the World, Svens position was becoming increasingly difficult. It was clear though that Sven was never going to resign his job the money involved was just too great to do the honourable thing and just walk away.
Following the news Sven announced;
"I am happy that we have reached this agreement and can now continue our preparations for the World Cup.
"It is important to stress how committed I am to success this summer. Let's go and win the World Cup.
"I know that I have the full support of the players and the FA.
"I have always enjoyed the incredible support of the fans and I know how important they will be to us in Germany."
So what now for the Swede? Undoubtedly he is a good manager but has he had enough of English football or will he stay to take up residency at an English club? Perhaps Newcastle might hold on to Souness until the end of the season now. Or will Manchester United decide that Sir Alex has had his day? Or if Aston Villa are taken over will his own prophecy come true?
Or would his memoirs reveal that, actually, we didnt know the half of it!
Perhaps the most interesting scenario is What if England win the World Cup? How could the FA let go the most successful English Manager in 40 years?
