SGE to be appointed Notts County boss today!

[palexander]

Sven-Goran Eriksson expected to be announced as Notts County's new manager today!?

New Arab owners + greedy swede makes perfect sense :D

Only mentioning this (besides the news factor) as I have a soft spot for County (used to live near there) and I think their set-up is at least CCC level and it used to utterly amaze me how they could never get their **** together.

Reminds me of when Keegan and Fayed started the revolution at Fulham, so dont discount County being in the Premier Leage in the next 4-5 years.

Crikey. That is extraordinary! Is Jay Smith still there?

Nah, think he got released before last season...

 

[EastStandBlue]

Shocking... Especially considering Portsmouth have yet to name a new full-time Manager and August is fast approaching.

According to BBC he's in talks with County about becoming Director of Football and not manager - maybe Steve MClaren is in line for the manager's job if Sven gets the top job!
It's not that long ago since County were in the top flight and I think many people would rather they suceeded than Forest with their arrogant fans

Clearly nonsense but:

Must be 25 years ago at least?

Now confirmed. Absolutely ridiculous. Good luck to them though. Fulham showed that exactly what Notts County are trying for is possible and I've always liked Sven.

1992 i thinks

Football gets crazier every day.

Cheers I couldn't be bothered to look it up. I would say 17 years ago is still quite a few seasons ago.
They wan't to get back to the top level within the next 10 years, that will be tough job even with millions of pounds being pumped into it.

yes, yes it does.

 

[BoyWonder2]

Not gone for the money, but I bet £2million a year helped to persuade him.

 

[palexander]

The revolution begins, with Sheffield United's Billy Sharp lined up for a move to County!!!

 

[Uncle Leo]

Just watched the BBC's new highlights show and I see Notts County have Lee Hughes and Luke Rodgers as their forwards. Most odious front line ever?
