Next Man City Managers Odds
The Next Man City Managers odds have hit the frame as Sven Goran Eriksson's odds of leaving Manchester City increased today. His agent, Atoll Still increased speculation regarding Eriksson's future at the Club. He has said this morning “that he does not expect Sven to be at the club next season”.
Reports abound about the situation and rumours are strong that he has become totally disenchanted with the way Thaksin Shinawatra, the Chairman is running the Club. As such Sven has said he is quite prepared to .resign.
Still said that Sven has received no word of support from the Chairman and that usually means that the situation between the two is untenable. Still said however, “that Sven will not be walking, Coaches only walk when they have done a bad job”. It is known that reports linking Shinawtra's with Portugese coach Luis Scolari have annoyed Sven.
Reaction from the fans has been swift, with most becoming very angry at the thought of losing Eriksson. He has become very popular with the fans, some claiming that he has been the best manager for decades.
