Report Offensive CommentJTMeek, Glazer owns Man United, not Man City.
This epitomizes the incredible demands not just for improvement and a bright future, but damn quick results.

Report Offensive CommentWOW...I bet the last time Sven spoke Spanish it was ordering a Corona w/lime or a chimichanga!
Not gonna happen, but it would be a big improvement over the coaching now.
US SOCCER STILL WOULD DOMINATE THEM EVERYWHERE BUT AZTECA STADIUM!

Report Offensive CommentI think the Zidane at QPR is crazier. Eriksson needs to stay at Man City. Or go back to Benfica. But El Tri? no way man

Report Offensive CommentThis is an interesting rumor but I don't believe it. Benfica, I can believe. Staying at Man City I can believe. This, I do not.

Report Offensive CommentShinawatra will prove himself as one of the idiots in the world and will be hated in two countries (that is, Taiwan AND England with Man City fans) if he fires Eriksson.
Eriksson is one of the best managers in the world. He's above Mexico. I think he's even too good for Benefica but that's just me. I would think Barcelona and Inter, two big teams in need of managers, would have to consider him, though I've just heard Rijkaard will be replaced by Josep Guardiola (WHO?!?!), Barca's reserve team coach....
.... hmmm

Report Offensive CommentIts Thailand Stauff, not Taiwan... Check your globe ;)
And Josep "Pep" Guardiola is a Barca icon. Sure his credentials as coach arent all that great (one season with Barca B), but he knows what the Barca game style is all about having been captain of the Dream Team under Cruyff (with R. Koeman, Romario, Stoichkov, Michael Laudrup, and current director Beguiristain)
Look at Laurent Blanc with Bordeaux. His team is 2nd behind the almighty Lyon. and its his first year as coach. Ok sure Bordeaux isnt even close to Barca, but the formula might work...

Report Offensive CommentIgnorance is bliss. U.S. will never advance because of their ignorant, racist mentality. Get over yourselves and admit you arent superior in anything anymore.
