Thedelldays Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 Listened to an interview with Sven on the radio and he said he cannot wait for the season to start...he stated that Leicester have no other aim but premier league at the end of the season and confident he can deliver.. he said this season NPC has the potential to be the best for many years....he said that real big clubs will be fighting it out...when asked who...he said he fully expects.... west ham, brum, forest, leeds, to be up there and he made a point of mentioning southampton...he said they are back and a big club who will be challenging for the playoffs in his opinion and have a brilliant set up etc
SNOWY Posted 9 July, 2011 Posted 9 July, 2011 Saw an interview with Nigel Clough earlier this week & he thought the same. He thinks that up to 15 teams could be in the promotion mix this season & highlighted how strong us & Brighton will be.

I'm annoyed I have neither the time nor the available money for a season ticket.

His reputation hit the top when he got the England job and I was even more impressed with his style. Whilst he wasn't the "tub-thumping" type of Lawrie Mac. manager, he was /is very respected but somehow people tend to underate him because of his "cautious " style. I had the unusual experience of meeting him some years ago and he struck me as being HIGHLY professional and very dedicated. He is one of those " melancholic " personalities who pays enormous attention to detail and doesn't feel he has to raise his voice to be heard. I know I never heard so many English players openly stating how much they respected him and I fully expect to see him " recruiting " some of his former E. stars... when /if ....Leicester get back to the Prem.

Svennis The Pennis ? He was certainly admired by several bedable birds that's for sure!!
sambosa75 Posted 11 July, 2011 Posted 11 July, 2011 Not that bad a manager. Did a much better job than Capello is doing now with a pool of arguably less talented platers (Darren Powell at left back anyone?).
Matthew Le God Posted 11 July, 2011 Posted 11 July, 2011 (edited) Chris Powell. Things would have been really bad if Darren Powell was getting England caps at left back! And Sven didn't have to play him, at the time he was ignoring giving Wayne Bridge his first cap if I recall. Edited 11 July, 2011 by Matthew Le God
benjii Posted 11 July, 2011 Posted 11 July, 2011 Didn't we beat Spain 4-0 in his first match? That just proves that we can be the next Barcelona.

The Swedes have a manner of making some words in to slang ...by adding the suffix ..."is " A daghem ..(nursery school) becomes " dagis " My Swedish niece Linnea is known as Linnis ... ....and so Sven became " Svennis ".
