Eriksson for Inter?

[sandanista]

There's speculation that Sven Goran Eriksson will be made Inter's manager soon.
Given the mess he made of England what do Inter fans think of that?
you must be worried.
I know he did well in Italy with Lazio before but he'd surely be a disaster at Inter.

[ilcapitano]

Really? I haven't heard about it. I think Eriksson is an awful coach, even if he managed to win the scudetto with Lazio. He's a very uncreative and boring coach. His England was phenomenally uncreative in attack.
I don't think it's very likely he would join Inter.

[Rafael]

really? i was under the impression that he will take over u.s. national team...
god forbid that he should take over at inter. i watched lazio religiously while he managed them and yes, he did win the scudetto, and both italian cup and super cup with the biancocelesti but given the fact that he had one of the most talented sides in europe at the time (marchegiani, pancaro, negro, nesta, mihajlović, simeone, almeyda, nedved, sergio conceicao, veron, bokšić, salas), that wasn't really a that unexpected.
i remember that in his last year he had both crespo and salas on the roster but still opted for extremelly dull 4-5-1. lazio's flashy performances disappeared faster than a tube of lubricant at the porn set!
then there's his part in persuading veron to move to man utd (when he at the same time had offers from real and barca!) and thus ruining him for the next three seasons.
in the end, there are his constant failures of achieveing something worth mentioning with the english nt.
i don't think that mancio is the right solution for inter but erikssson definitely won't solve any of inter's problems. if inter needed a playboy instead of a quality manager, they would find a perfect man for that mission in sven. if inter had managed to score as often as sven does with various lady friends or secretaries, they would run over their respective opponents with a five goal cushion (to say the least)...
i say, let some other team or nt regret their decision to hire this swedish playboy!

[sandanista]

it was on an english newspaper's website and also bbc's sport website.
just a rumour at this stage and if the directors at Inter have any sense they
wont go near him, he is absoloutely clueless and far too catious.
he turned england into a shambles and would probably do the sam with Inter.

I'm not an Inter fan but am interested in what Inter fans think of Mancini.
Is he the man to lead you to the scudetto?
it would surely take a pretty bad coach to not win it with Inter this season.
thay must have one of the best squads in Europe at the moment.

Well England supporters and especially the English media would have you believe that Eriksson made a 'mess' of the team. But in reality, haven't England under Eriksson performed about as well as they always do in the Euros and World Cups? I think what Eriksson failed to do was to achieve exceptional results. Not quite the same thing as making a 'mess' of it, but once the media gets involved, you know how it goes...And I'm no expert on England's history, but I don't think an England team has ever really been known for its creativity, regardless of the coach. Maybe I'm wrong.

All that being said, I don't want Eriksson for Inter either :D. I'd rather find someone fresher and I find it hard to believe that Eriksson-Inter would ever really materialize. I just don't think it's realistic, but I might be wrong about that too ;).

you're right about that.
the english players were over-hyped and turned out to not be as good as the media made them out to be but eriksson made plenty of mistakes too.
i dont think it'll happen either but it was mentioned in several websites.
Inter would be better off sticking with Mancini for the time being.

[valdanito_10]

Hes one of my most respected coaches, you guys would be lucky to have him with you.

[GiorgioII]

I think I would stop supporting Inter if this loser became our Coach. I have no regard for him what so ever.

hahaha :lol:

[Ryan27]

heh, I do hope Eriksson catches on somewhere (but not Inter) and does well for himself, if only to get people off his back and prove he wasn't the sole problem. He's been made out to be some sort of villain or clown, which I don't think is fair.

[Rafael]

calciomercato. com reports that moratti could go for either eriksson, benitez or ranieri in case mancio gets fired. how would you feel if ranieri took charge of inter? would he be a great solution or would he be too lenient to inter's all-star cast? if moratti opts for benitez and he accepts the challenge, he would start as of next season... which one would you prefer?

[Ryan27]

I don't like the idea of any of those three joining Inter, including Benitez.

[ilcapitano]

They're all wrong for us. Benitez is obsessed with his rotation system, he always changes the team. His Liverpool has also been boring to watch and inconsistent. We have enough of that already.
Ranieri has never convinced me but out of these three I would choose him, I guess...

[syntex777]

personally i think theres only one coach who would excel at Inter ... Mourinho :smoking: i really cant see him failing at Inter

[GiorgioII]

Benitez is the best of those 3 but he isn't all that special. He was lucky to win the Champions League and Liverpool still have a little bit of a mental weakness. They should be right up there with Chelsea with the squad that they have, but they are still struggling.

Mourinho, Capello, Hitzfield...the list of coaches who could do something with Inter is incredibely small.

[syntex777]

dont forget Hiddink :evil:

[Vic]

How ridicolous isnt this anti Eriksson discus?, cmon what has he done wrong, hes the BEST COACH EVER for england over the years, he has the best statistics as a manager for them, won titles with benfica and lazio, cmon guys dont be so focking one eyed, the english media gave him a hell, dressed out as clowns too get sometihng bad out of him, its pathetic.

Allright he made some stupid things off pitch during his years as a manager for england BUT still his the best EVER manager for england in the statistics, look it up!

Now when shitty England has tied azerbadjan and lost 2-0 versus Croatia the english media is giving the new manager a hell, they are almost begging Sven too come back. isnt it hilarious?

Sven Goran Eriksson is one of the best coaches out there, give the guy some respect, the others go ***k yourselfs :D

[Ryan27]

Yeah, I've said this before, Sven was unfairly made the scapegoat for England's troubles. There were other problems beyond his control, as he can do nothing more than select a team (okay, Walcott in the World Cup was probably a bad idea).

Maybe people also get carried away with their expectations because the EPL gets so much global media coverage these days. It's a very strong league, don't get me wrong, but a bit overhyped. For example, they watch someone like Lampard starring for Chelsea every week and figure he must be world class, when really he is just a good domestic player. If I only watched MLS all the time, I'm sure I'd get carried away and overrate all of its players too.

The results under Sven were good, but what annoyed us fans was the way in which he handled his role as Coach. Not only was his personal life caught up in the job far too often, but his tactics were poor. He was far too defensive, yet was not prepared to play a defensive midfielder, instead going for a partnership of Gerrard and Lampard in the middle who were never going to work together. I am sure that we will not win the Scudetto if Sven comes. It would be a disaster.

I gotta go with Natalz here. England fans seemed to check the newspapers for the right opinion. Also you seem to have a tradition of blaming it all on the coach when England NT preform bad. I was very discused the way Sven was treated, even with good stats, by the fans and Media.

I honestly think this is just because he wasn't english. And with his "private" (privacy seems not to be Englands best subject either) life made him the perfect scapegoat. Made him look irresponsable and so on.

Just face it. You "top of the edge" team preformed as they were able to. I don't want our coach to be fired just because he got 1-1 against latvia (or macedonia ;)) when he and the team as a whole has played well in other matches.

Please England, don't overestimate your NT and do not forget, as your the founder of the sport, that football is a team sport.

// excuse me for bad english

wow....I agree with u...
I think that Eriksson is one of the best coach around europe...in Italy he did a great job...But I think that he will not join us,'coz he's too similar to Mancini...and we all know who wants Moratti:Mourinho!
