City bewildered as Thaksin Shinawatra doubts Sven-Goran Eriksson | Manchester City - Times Online

Manchester City’s worst fears were confirmed yesterday when Thaksin Shinawatra, the Barclays Premier League club’s controversial owner, said that he is considering the possibility of sacking Sven-Göran Eriksson at the end of the season. Eriksson has done an impressive job since taking over as City manager last July, but despite strong denials from the club, there have been suspicions for some weeks that the Swede’s job is under threat.

Holy Jesus, what is it with Billionaire owners? City do not produce miraculous results. Did he really think he could undo 32 years of City being City with some fucking money. You can't buy well in January and Eriksson was appointed very late in the summer to do too much with the group. He is the fucking future of this club. I wasn't sure when he was first appointed, but he inherited a hodge podge team bought really well with limited time, and voila top half of the table. The best part is, he tries to get them to play flowing football, City are no longer masters of the Long Ball. (When they're not running scared that is, because they'll hoof that shit like Liverpool or Bolton if they get nervous--but they're a relatively NEW side). Wenger does it with Arsenal and he's got Moral Victory and no trophies. Why isn't that enough for Frank right now? Because seriously, die hard Man City fans are thrilled with Sven.
