Steven Beacom: What attracted Sven to Notts?

Sven-Goran Eriksson

Sven-Goran Eriksson

Remember that classic question on the Mrs Merton Show for Debbie McGee, “so what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?”

You could say the same for Sven Goran Eriksson with Notts County.

I’m glad to see him back in the game, though, somehow I doubt Sven would have been offering his services to the League Two outfit had a Middle-Eastern consortium not taken over at Meadow Lane last week.

The thing is though, just how much money does one man need? Look at all the dosh he made from the England job. He wasn’t paid peanuts as boss of Manchester City or Mexico either.

He’s not exactly a pauper so maybe it is all about the “challenge” and taking County into the Premiership in the next five years!

Mind you, if he is still there in 2014, I’ll dress up like Mrs Merton and walk down Royal Avenue.



Sometimes I despair......

Blame for this awful mess lies squarely with Capello

Unusually for Fabio Capello, a man who owns some highly valued pieces of art but is not given to too many flights of poetic fancy, he once said that he had a dream. It was right at the start of his England reign and it was that he would lead his team into the final of the World Cup in Johannesburg.
