Sven To Be Canned, But What About The Puppet?
By: chris | April 29th, 2008
Judging by recent comments by human rights advocate and Man City owner Thaksin Shinawatra, the reports coming out today stating Sven-Goran Eriksson will be unemployed come the end of the year. Patient guy, that Thaksin. So the paychecks in Manchester will have a new coach to look forward to, but really, nobody really cares about that. What we do care about is: Will Sven the puppet be canned?
Personally I hope so. I have nothing against him, and I think he was a nice addition to the show, but after seeing the obvious impact Wayne has come in to make, I think we can do better. They’ve got so much potential for Jose’s right-hand man just in England that could wipe Sven off the map.
So, in the event that Sven gets canned from “I’m On Setanta Sports” as well as Man City, let’s run down some potential replacements:
Aresene the Voyeur: It’d be ok if you’re alright with Jose and Arsene bickering all show long. I tend to lean with no.
Rafa Benitez: Ditto.
Paul Jewell: I think I just threw up in my mouth.
Avram Grant: Sleeper choice, because you just know Jose would spend the entire show laying into Avram and the froggy man would sit there and just take it.
Harry Redknapp: This is the only reasoning I need.
Fabio Capello: He might not be in the Prem, but this one has endless potential. Can you imagine the dueling egos, with Jose making fun of Don Fabio, The Don devoid of the necessary English for a proper comeback, getting frustrated and yelling “li mortacci tua!!!” 2-3 times a show? Perfection. The personal choice.
Steve McClaren: At least during the Euros as a temporary stand-in while they look for a permanent replacement. Sitting lame duck.
Kev Keegan: Eh….
So who should replace Sven if he gets canned? Any other options worthy of consideration?
