MacLaren, I think the education he has taken overseas in different styles, different tactics and not least player markets of these countries would only serve us well. Sven makes me curious though, his C.V puts 99.9% of Prem managers to shame. Ive put Svens name on here months ago and got shot down in flames for it.........at least someone else can see what he could bring to us...... Top top coach (plus we might get Uuuuulllllrikakakakaka in the stands and let me be the first to say it - I still would! I think him signing as manager would have everybody happy yet he is the least mentioned of the realistic candidates.

One name not 4, we can only appoint 1 manager. Oh, and you can take Moyes off your short list since I said realistic. So who is it going to be? MacLaren, I think the education he has taken overseas in different styles, different tactics and not least player markets of these countries would only serve us well. Sven makes me curious though, his C.V puts 99.9% of Prem managers to shame. Steve Mclaren, well at least we got there. That will be the same Steve Mclaren who lasted 7 months at Wolfsburg and 7 weeks at Nottingham Forest. Oh and his most recent tenure back at Twente lasted between 5th January 2012 and 26th February 2012 before he was heaved out after fans demonstrations about unattractive and negative football.

As can 7 months in a new country be. What are your thoughts on Sven?

He's certainly got something as Steve McClaren. The only Englishman I've ever heard speak English with a Dutch accent. I suppose that's what you mean by an education overseas.

And he won a league title as well for a club that hadn't won it since step toe was a lad, he certainly has got something hasn't he. If that is your come back you are stumped, pal.

I'd go as far to say that appointing Sven Goran Eriksson would be a real coup for the club.

[edit]Degerfors IF Having retired as a player, Eriksson received an offer to become Tord Grip's assistant at Degerfors.[4] A year later, Grip was appointed assistant manager of the Swedish national team, and Eriksson became Degerfors' manager, winning promotion to Division 2 in 1978. Eriksson's stint as manager was from 1 January 1977 to 31 December 1978.[5] [edit]IFK Göteborg His success with assistant manager Tom Chadney by his side attracted the attention of much larger clubs, and Eriksson joined IFK Göteborg on 1 January 1979.[6] He won the Swedish Cup in his first season, and a "treble" of League, Cup and UEFA Cup (Göteborg beating Hamburger SV 4–0 in the final) in 1982. Eriksson left IFK Göteborg in August 1982.[6] [edit]Benfica Eriksson's European success led to him being head-hunted by Portuguese club Benfica. Eriksson joined Benfica on 1 September 1982.[7] Eriksson had a similarly quick impact there, winning the Liga, the Portuguese Cup, and finishing runners-up in the UEFA Cup to Anderlecht. After a second Championship the following year, Eriksson moved on to Italy, becoming manager of A.S. Roma.[8] [edit]Roma Eriksson joined A.S. Roma on 1 July 1984.[8] He was not as immediately successful at Roma as he had been before, but he still won a Coppa Italia in 1986. Eriksson left the club on 6 May 1987.[8] [edit]Fiorentina and return to Benfica Eriksson was manager of Fiorentina from 1 July 1987.[9] Eriksson stint a the club was trophyless. Eriksson moved back to Benfica for a second stint in 1989.[7] Eriksson led the Portuguese side to the final of the European Cup (losing to Milan 1–0) in 1990, and another League title in 1991. Eriksson left the club in June 1992.[7] [edit]Sampdoria In 1992, Eriksson returned to Italy with Sampdoria.[10] where he managed to win another Coppa Italia in 1994. Eriksson left in June 1997.[10] [edit]Lazio In 1997, Eriksson agreed to leave Sampdoria at the end of the season to manage Blackburn Rovers. Later on that year, however, he went back on his word and opted to stay in Italy and become the new manager at Lazio. Eriksson took over Lazio on 1 July 1997.[11] Eriksson stated family reasons for wanting to stay in Italy. Rovers eventually appointed Roy Hodgson. Eriksson employed fellow Swede Tord Grip as his assistant. Eriksson finally found major success in Italy with Lazio when he won the Coppa Italia and the Italian Supercup in 1998 and 2000, the European Cup Winners' Cup (1999, the very last tournament), and the Serie A title (the Scudetto) in 2000 — only the second time that the Roman club had won the Italian championship in their history. That season had begun with glory in the UEFA Super Cup, winning 1–0 against Manchester United. Bankrolled by Sergio Cragnotti's investment in the team — some £274 million in more than four seasons — Eriksson amassed trophies on a remarkable scale and because of this, many fans consider him to be Lazio's most successful manager ever.[citation needed] [edit]England manager [edit]2002 FIFA World Cup Following the resignation of England manager Kevin Keegan after a home loss to Germany in October 2000, The Football Association specifically pursued Eriksson as his replacement. Eriksson had initially agreed to take over after the expiration of his contract in summer 2001, but decided to resign his post at Lazio early and he officially began his England duties in January of that year.[12] Eriksson was the first foreign manager to be appointed coach of the England national team. Eriksson turned around England's bid for qualification for the 2002 FIFA World Cup with several crucial wins over lesser opposition before his first real test — England's rematch with Germany in Munich on 1 September 2001. England crushed their long-time rivals 5–1. Despite this, England still needed a late equaliser at home to Greece to qualify automatically. At the Finals, England drew with Sweden, defeated their other longtime rivals Argentina 1–0, and drew with Nigeria to qualify in second place from the four-team group. They went on to defeat Denmark 3-0 in the Round of 16 before losing 2–1 to 10-man Brazil, who went on to win the tournament. [edit]UEFA Euro 2004 After winning their first qualifying match in Slovakia, England drew at home with Macedonia and were then booed off by their fans after losing a friendly to Australia.[13] England, however, won their next five qualifiers and, needing a point from the last game to qualify, drew 0–0 in Turkey to top the group. In their first match in the finals, England were winning 1–0 against France after 90 minutes but lost after Zinedine Zidane scored twice in injury time. A 3–0 victory over Switzerland and a 4–2 victory over Croatia, however, meant England still qualified for a quarter-final against the hosts Portugal. There, Michael Owen gave England an early lead but Hélder Postiga equalised. England had a Sol Campbell goal disallowed before losing on penalties. [edit]2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying Regardless of the antipathy to Eriksson expressed by some in the English media, the England team professed total confidence in him and threatened to strike during one media driven campaign to oust him. He was also backed by the official England Fan organisations. It may be due to that unprecedented support that the FA renewed and extended Eriksson's contract by two further years to include UEFA Euro 2008. On 7 September 2005, Eriksson's England team lost a World Cup qualifying match against Northern Ireland 1–0, the first time that England had lost to that team since 1972 and one of only five competitive games lost during Eriksson's tenure. Although it was England's first ever defeat in a World Cup or European Championship qualifying match under Eriksson, it brought his position under unprecedented pressure and he was criticized, both by some fans and by BBC commentators, for his alleged lack of charisma and tactical awareness. Criticism continued as England scraped a 1–0 victory over Austria in a game which saw David Beckham controversially sent off. Some of the criticism from within the media was answered however, as England put in a much improved performance, despite the absence of Beckham through suspension and Sol Campbell and Steven Gerrard through injury, in a 2–1 win against Poland. When the FA declared that Eriksson was to be "released" at the end of the 2006 World Cup tournament, the official England Fan organisation undertook an unprecedented "Save Our Sven" campaign that was also engaged in by several British newspapers. The decision was made, however, and Eriksson's tenure was terminated, costing the FA a year of penalty payment damages that saw Eriksson unemployed for 12 months at the FA's considerable expense. [edit]Successor announced In 2006, Eriksson was recorded saying he would be willing to leave England to manage Aston Villa if England won the World Cup, after being duped into believing that a wealthy Arab would buy the club and wanted him as manager. The wealthy "Arab" was in fact the "Fake Sheikh" Mazher Mahmood, an undercover News of the World reporter. On 23 January, The Football Association announced that Eriksson would leave his job after the 2006 FIFA World Cup, and it was thought that the News of the World allegations played a part in this decision.[14] This was later denied by both parties, with Eriksson explaining that there was a prior arrangement to terminate his contract immediately after the World Cup. The announcement that Eriksson was to depart from the job as England team coach was met with extensive protests and a "Save Our Sven" campaign from the Official England Fan organisation backed by several British national newspapers. Following a lengthy period of public and media speculation as to his successor the FA announced on 4 May 2006 that Steve McClaren, Eriksson's assistant, would take over the reins after the World Cup. [edit]2006 FIFA World Cup finals England finished top of Group B at the finals, beating Paraguay and Trinidad and Tobago, before a 2-2 draw with Sweden, although the English press considered their performances far from satisfactory.[15] In the second round, a David Beckham trademark free kick was enough to see Eriksson's England past Ecuador in a lacklustre 1–0 encounter. Eriksson, however, once again fell to nemesis Luiz Felipe Scolari's Portugal. They defeated England 3–1 on penalties with the score 0–0 after extra time, with Beckham lost to injury and Wayne Rooney sent off for stamping on Ricardo Carvalho. The result was Eriksson's third successive exit in a major tournament quarter-final. In his farewell speech, Eriksson wished England well and singled out Rooney for special praise, advising the press not to blame the youngster's dismissal for England's exit. [edit]England manager summary Eriksson improved England's FIFA World Ranking from 17th place in January 2001 to 5th place in July 2006, reaching 4th during the 2006 World Cup, and was rated by the FA as England's second most successful manager after Alf Ramsey. He is the only England manager — other than the short-lived Terry Venables and current head coach Roy Hodgson — who has never failed to guide England to the last eight in a major tournament.[16] Under Eriksson, England achieved the highest point percentage in major tournament matches of all time for an England manager,[17] losing only three competitive games (excluding extra-time) and achieved top qualifying place in all three International tournaments. Only Brazil matched England's record of reaching the quarter-final in tournaments in 2002, 2004, and 2006. Coincidentally, the same manager, Luiz Felipe Scolari, knocked England out of all three of these tournaments, first with Brazil and then twice with Portugal. Eriksson is the only England manager never to have led an England team out at their permanent home venue of the old Wembley Stadium or the new Wembley Stadium. Wembley was closed for redevelopment the same month that the FA asked him to take over, October 2000, and he resigned before the new Wembley Stadium was opened. [edit]Manchester City In July 2007, virtually a year to the day that he left the England job, Eriksson was confirmed as the new manager of Manchester City after signing a three-year contract (Manchester City's first manager from outside of the UK)[18] worth £2 million a year plus bonuses.[19] Before the season started, he signed striker Rolando Bianchi for £8.8 million, along with midfielders Gelson Fernandes, Geovanni, Martin Petrov, and Elano; and defenders Vedran ?orluka and Javier Garrido. On 19 August, Manchester City beat league champions Manchester United to go top of the Premier League after three games without conceding a goal. Eriksson received the Premier League's Manager of the Month award for August. The club stayed in the top six throughout the rest of 2007, and were third throughout October and November, but fell to seventh on 12 January 2008 after winning only one of their previous five games. In Spring 2008, Shinawatra claimed that he would replace Eriksson after only one full season, because of an "avalanche of very poor results which is unacceptable at this level." This resulted in an outcry from Manchester City fans who coordinated an SOS ("Save Our Sven") campaign — similar to the Official England Fan's campaign in the spring of 2006 — including a well attended march from the City centre to Eastlands Stadium and a flood of letters to the club and the Manchester Evening News. The failure to react to public and fan demands resulted in high volume of fans cancelling or not renewing their season tickets. Also, the team announced that they would go on strike. Eriksson rejected any interference and also persuaded his players against potentially damaging their careers by an all out strike. In the last game of the season, Manchester City suffered an 8–1 loss to Middlesbrough, the biggest defeat of Eriksson's career. Many concluded that the team had "gone on strike" as a symbolic protest during the game, although a red card for Richard Dunne after 15 minutes made the game difficult for City.[20] Manchester City ended in ninth place in the league, one place away from the UEFA Cup 2008–09 qualifying positions. Manchester City subsequently qualified through the extra place awarded to the Premier League for finishing as the highest placed team who hadn't already qualified for a European competition in the UEFA Fair Play League for 2007–08. Eriksson became the first Manchester City manager since 1969–70 to win both league derby games against Manchester United and also achieved the club's joint highest Premier League point total, 55. On 2 June 2008, Manchester City confirmed by club statement that they had parted company with Eriksson by "mutual consent", with Eriksson still having two years left on his contract. Following news of his departure, the City supporters' groups organised a petition with around 14,000 signatures which was handed to the club.[21] [edit]Mexico national football team On 3 June 2008, he was officially signed to become the manager of the Mexican national team.[22] He formally started the role after Mexico's World Cup qualifier against Belize on 21 June).[23] On 20 August 2008, he debuted as manager of the Mexican National team in a CONCACAF world cup qualifier versus Honduras. Mexico went on to win 2–1. On the next matches some results were poor, as Mexico tied with Canada and lost to Jamaica and Honduras. Also during August 2008, a British actor and comedian Derek Williams aka "Svenalike" was flown into Mexico City for a series of media stunts and the filming of a special feature for Mexico's Azteca TV broadcast corporation. The first stunt was mis-reported by a journalist employed by a rival media group and the news that a Sven-double had used "fake passes and forged documents" to gain entry to Mexico's Olympic stadium was on TV and in most newspapers around the world. The story was revealed to be false when all the Mexican soccer officials reported being completely fooled by the look-alike/sound-alike double but that the whole stunt had been revealed to them immediately after filming and that the incident had been "amazing" and "great fun". The absence of all and any fake documents was confirmed within the televised special feature of the reported incident and many other filmed fake-Sven stunts a few days later. On 11 February 2009, Eriksson was put under further pressure as his side lost 2–0 to the United States. Calls for him to quit or be sacked were heard from the fans while the English club Portsmouth were rumoured to be interested in making him their new manager. This link was strengthened by reports of members from the Portsmouth board flying to Mexico City to discuss contract offers with Eriksson and a possible compensation settlement with the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol Asociación. In early March, Eriksson continued to deny that he would leave Mexico and return to manage Portsmouth, insisting that he would remain and help Mexico qualify for the World Cup.[24] After a 3–1 World Cup Qualifying loss at Honduras, Eriksson was removed as national team coach. Eriksson had only won one of his last seven non-friendly games as manager.[25] [edit]Notts County On 22 July 2009, Eriksson was appointed as Director of Football at English League Two team Notts County following that club's takeover by Middle East consortium Munto Finance with Eriksson getting a reported, but unconfirmed, £2m a year deal. It is believed his contract was based on the future success of the club with a large percentage share holding making up his contract. Eriksson later said that he was attracted by the consortium's plans to take the world's oldest league club to the top of the Premiership, and believed that they had the finance and commitment to do that. Large-scale investment in new facilities were promised, and Sol Campbell and Kasper Schmeichel joined the club from Premier League teams. Campbell, however, played only one game before departing and Schmeichel was released at the end of the season. The consortium attempted to involve Eriksson in the running of the North Korean team, taking him to Pyongyang in October 2009. This came to nothing, however, with Eriksson later saying that his efforts were wasted as he was unable to contact anyone on the North Korean side. County's large debts, including an unpaid tax bill, emerged in November 2009.[26] On 11 February 2010, Eriksson resigned as Director of Football following the club's takeover by former Lincoln City chairman Ray Trew.[27] Eriksson waived a multi-million payoff in order to assist the takeover therefore chairman Trew described him as an "absolute gentleman". Notts County went up as League 2 Champions at the end of the season.[26] [edit]Côte d'Ivoire national team On 28 March 2010, he became the manager of Côte d'Ivoire.[28] Disclosure of the amount of money Eriksson’s contract was worth has never been confirmed, but it has been reported that he got £270,000 for the job.[29] On 15 June, Côte d'Ivoire played a 0–0 draw against Portugal in their opening game in Group G of the 2010 World Cup Finals, followed by a 3–1 loss against Brazil on 20 June. Despite defeating North Korea in the final group game 3–0, Côte d'Ivoire failed to qualify for the knock-out stages. Prior to the match against Brazil, the Brazilian coach, Carlos Dunga commented "With Eriksson, Ivory Coast has great balance. We used to see them play and they didn't have this type of organisation that they have now".[30]
Eriksson while manager of Leicester City As there were no reported negotiations of an extension to Eriksson's contract between his agent and the Ivorian FA, his contract ended on 25 June.[31] [edit]Leicester City He was appointed manager of Leicester City on 3 October 2010 as the Foxes sat in the relegaton zone of the Championship.[32][33] His first league game in charge resulted in a 1–1 draw against Hull City, managed by Nigel Pearson who had managed Leicester for the previous two seasons. This was quickly followed by Leicester's first victory under Eriksson, beating Leeds 2–1 at Elland Road.[34] Boosted by the loan signings of players such as Kyle Naughton and later Yakubu, results steadily improved under Eriksson as Leicester gradually began to climb the table, until a good run of form in the new year saw Leicester win seven of their first eight league games of 2011[35] and also take Premier League title-challengers and eventual cup-winners Manchester City to a replay in the FA Cup. On 18 February 2011, after an injury-time winner from Martyn Waghorn at home to Bristol City, Leicester had climbed to 7th in the table and just one point off a play-off place.[36] However Leicester's form began to stutter as they won just two out of their following 11 games.[35] The Foxes ended up finishing the season in 10th position.[37] Eriksson spent big in a bid for promotion in the summer of 2011, including multi-million pound transfer fees on Matt Mills and Jermaine Beckford.[38][39][40] making them pre-season promotion favourites.[38][40][41][42] However, after 13 league matches Eriksson left the club by mutual consent on 25 October 2011 with the Foxes sitting in the 13th position in the league, 2 points from a play-off position.[43] [edit]BEC Tero Sasana In an interview with Yorkshire Radio on 8 February 2012, the chairman of English Championship club Leeds United, Ken Bates, revealed that Eriksson had applied for the vacant managerial position at the club after the dismissal of Simon Grayson. Bates went on to state that his application was unsuccessful.[44] On 3 September 2012, Eriksson was unveiled as the Technical Director of BEC Tero Sasana, a team in the Thai Premier League.[45][46] On 17 November 2012, Norwegian media reported that Eriksson was in talks with Vålerenga Fotball about the possibility of taking over the soon-to-be-available manager job for the Oslo-based club. A meeting between the two parties was held on 21 November in Oslo but no deal was made. In December, negotiations between Eriksson and the Football Federation of Ukraine, who had offered him the position of head coach of Ukraine's national football team, did not bear fruit.[47] On 15 January 2013, it was announced that Eriksson would be joining TSV 1860 München as assistant to Alexander Schmidt.[48] On 18 January 2013, the club however reported, that Eriksson declined the offer to join 1860.[49]

Sadly, for me, I'm actually in agreement with some of the Pulis supporters on this. Even though I desperately want him to go, without any abuse or booing, and with my full appreciation for what he has done, I just can't see, from the people routinely named on here, a manager I would like to trust with the club. Anyone young and forward looking would surely see Stoke as a step to something bigger, and the last thing we want is to end up with a continual string of short-term managers. Of the ones available(or possibly available) in the Prem or out of work, only Big Sam seems to be a safe-ish choice, and he may well want to carry on at WHam.
Wasn't MON Peter Coates' first choice before TP came back? I don't think he's different enough for many fans, or good enough for the rest.
Benitez might be a good choice, but I don't see him coming to Stoke.
Looking at Sven's record, he is mightily impressive, with an overall win ratio of 51.71%. He only really failed at Fiorentina and seems to have a reputation as an honourable man (not counting his sexual misadventures). It may be that his private life is a bit too spicy for PC, but I struggle to find anyone with a better record who might be persuaded to come here.
I've said before that it's never sacking a manager that ruins a club, it's appointing a poor replacement. With TP, you know pretty much what you're going to get, and I'm certainly not willing to watch it any more, but until someone comes up with a realistic better candidate, better the devil you know.
So, barring a moment of inspiration from the Coates family, or the input of people who know a damn sight more about football than anybody on here, he has to stay (for now).

Steve Mclaren, well at least we got there. That will be the same Steve Mclaren who lasted 7 months at Wolfsburg and 7 weeks at Nottingham Forest. Oh and his most recent tenure back at Twente lasted between 5th January 2012 and 26th February 2012 before he was heaved out after fans demonstrations about unattractive and negative football. 7 weeks is hardly time to learn your way around the building let alone the team. As can 7 months in a new country be. What are your thoughts on Sven? I like Sven but I'm not sure he is tailor made for the cut and thrust of managing a middle ranking Premier League side. Whether we like it or not (in my opinion) for all but the super-sized top 6 clubs then staying in the Premier League is a ball aching, grinding, unforgiving, thankless task and I'm just not quite sure the urbane and now mature Swede is up for the fight. I suspect he'd rather be at home with his horlicks (or one of his ladies!) than doing battle with one of Big Sam's up and at'em outfits

Sven would single handidly raise the profile of the club, attract better players, can handle name players and the media love him, it's a win win situation. Add his c.v & coaching capabilities to this argument and it's a no brainer.

Was his last unsuccessful post at Notts County on that CV, Sandbanks?
Or is your affiliation to him because he blew a few million on your idol, Jermaine Beckford, before he was sacked after failing in the Championship at Leicester City?
You really are a clown.

I think his last job was in Pantomime wasn't it as Baron Hardon.

I liked Sven as England manager but think he's past it now to be honest. Seems to have lost his hunger for the game, just interested in a quick buck now. What do you base this on? The Notts County affair, truly shit jobs with Mexico, Ivory Coast and Leicester. He'll take the money anywhere. Shame, in his pomp he was a top manager. Best England manager since Robson.
