I think most people here would have heard about what has been happening latly with Sven and i dont think he will be the manager of england much longer. With the undercover reporter thing and England struggling he is rumored to be getting the sack after the world cup. I think if the world cup wasnt 6 months away the English FA would have sacked Sven by now. He should be glad that he gets to have his job for 6 more months but i guess he probally doesnt really want it

funny bloke - just keeps digging holes for himself everywhere. i think he's on £5m million a year or something stupid like that, whether England win or not he'll go- either being sacked for not doing well or off his own bat because he'll get an even more lucrative job

Get rid of him!
But who would you get to replace him? McClaren seems next in line but I wouldn't want him!

Eriksson is a joke, a 42 carat plonker. I have more passion and charisma in my left pinky than he has in his entire body!!
English manager for England- that's the way it had always been before him and that's the way it should be after.
Big Sam for England!

SVEN-Goran Eriksson is to leave his post as England coach after the World Cup in Germany this year, the Football Association (FA) announced today (AEDT).
The Swede's contract does not expire until 2008 but he has recently been at the centre of a series of embarrassing newspaper revelations and after a meeting with FA officials overnight, the governing body announced Eriksson would be stepping down.
"I am happy that we have reached this agreement and can now continue our preparations for the World Cup," Eriksson said via an FA statement.
"I know that I have the full support of the players and The FA and it is important to stress to everyone just how committed I am to achieving success this summer."
The 57-year-old former Lazio boss added: "I care passionately about this job and I want everyone to know that. I have always enjoyed the incredible support of the fans and I know how important they will be to us in Germany.
"This summer is the culmination of everything we have been working towards over the last five years. Let's go and win the World Cup."
FA chief executive Brian Barwick said: "The FA and Sven felt it was important to clarify his future. This is for the benefit of everyone connected with English football, especially the fans.
"There has been so much speculation surrounding this matter in recent weeks and months, it was important to resolve it now.
"This is the right outcome and I would like to thank Sven and his advisors for their tremendous cooperation.
"As I have said before, our main objective is giving Sven and the England team the best chance of achieving success at the World Cup.
"Sven is definitely the man to lead us in Germany.
"Now is the time for everyone to get behind the team as we prepare for a tournament that presents us with a genuine chance of success."
Eriksson had come under growing pressure to quit after alleging there was a culture of corruption within the English Premiership and it was widely thought, despite his contract, he could not last long in the job after the World Cup which starts in June.
He also made unflattering remarks about several current England internationals and the likes of Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
At the weekend Barwick admitted the Swede's remarks had "not been good for the game".
Eriksson's comments arose out of a conversation he had in Dubai with an undercover reporter from British Sunday tabloid the News of the World posing as a rich Arab sheik.
He was asked if English managers got involved with transfers during taped meetings in Dubai with an undercover News of the World reporter posing as a "fake sheik".
He also suggested during the meeting that he would be prepared to become manager of Aston Villa as part of a takeover bid.
"If I come there (Aston Villa) I don't want to have anything to do with money, money to transfer," he was quoted as saying.
Asked by the undercover reporter whether managers always got involved with transfers?' he is quoted as replying: "Yeah and of course they put money in their pocket."
He also reportedly told the paper that England centre-back Rio Ferdinand was "lazy", that England striker Michael Owen was only at Newcastle United for the money and that Ferguson should have left United after the club's treble-winning season in 1999.
Eriksson, his agent Athole Still and lawyer Richard Des Voeux met the reporter at an exclusive hotel in Dubai after he had been asked if he was interested in coaching at an academy there some time in the future.

Get rid of him! But who would you get to replace him? McClaren seems next in line but I wouldn't want him! Bit of a worry for England with this kind stuff hoverig around the squad. He's a disasterous dork. Ladbrokes are offering the following odds on his successor: Sam Allardyce 5/2, Alan Curbishley 3/1, Steve McClaren 7/2, Ottmar Hitzfeld 8/1, Martin O'Neill 10/1, Steve Bruce 12/1, Luiz Felipe Scolari 12/1, Guus Hiddink 12/1, Stuart Pearce 12/1, Bobby Robson 16/1, Bryan Robson 20/1, Paul Jewell 20/1, Sir Trevor Brooking 20/1, Fabio Capello 25/1, Jose Mourinho 25/1, Arsene Wenger 33/1, Gerrard Houllier 33/1, Peter Taylor 40/1, Harry Redknapp 66/1, Sir Alex Ferguson 66/1, Alan Shearer 66/1, Sammy Lee 66/1, Kevin Keegan 100/1 |

Jose at 25/1 lol! He has said he wouldn't...and I thnk he has more to achieve...and more money to earn...at chelski.
I vote for Shearer. England is going to be shit anyway so why not get in a fresh young coach that everyone will at least like!

Shearer has no experience - plus he's a twat! Bring in Martin O'Neill would be my vote but I can't see it happening  England won't win the World Cup, it's a shame to have this hovering around so close to the World Cup but Sven is a knob! |

If you were gonna take a fresh english manager it would be SP all the way, but nowhere near experienced enough. Sam would be good but, like Cloughy, a bit too abrasive for the FA
I think Oneill will return to Celtic in time.
I think the FA could narrow it to:
McClaren (foot in the door already)
Curbs (prob my choice)
Hiddink (if we want another foreign coach)
Mike Bassett (enough said)

Please not McClaren - can't stand him!
They got Hoddle with little experience Red, he wasn't too bad! Only went down to a penalty shootout in a game we should have won anyway!

Saw on Eurosport news today that Guus had said he's interested in the England job and that the English press wouldn't put him off.
