Sven Goran Erikson
Well, he has survived, it seemed in doubt for a while.
First of all, like most sensible people, I can't understand why it has anything to do with his job if he sleeps with a secretary at the FA or not... and peopel can say he hasnt achieved so much as a manager, but I dont think he has done so badly either.
England are not a top team, and we have always punched our weight under Sven, if he has not done better than expected, I think he has done a reasonable job with the players we have.
Gerrad and Beckham were shown to be VERY ordinary in Euro 2004, especially Gerrad who was a disgrace - he was negoiating his contract rather than worrying about England... Erikson's fault is probably that he is too cautious, but he let Rooney play at the right time I think, and at the end of the day, we just dont have the players that the top sides do.
And whatever he does, they cannot afford the £14 million it will cost to sack him, and no way is he going to walk!
