The Fa announced that Sven-Goran Eriksson with leave England after the world cup.
I feel that Sven has had a lot of bad press about him that has contributed for his resignation.
I for one feel that Sven was one of the best managers / head coaches England has had in a long time.
I really hope the press now leave him and our England players alone to concentrate on bringing home the cup for the second time.
All I can do is wish Sven all the best and bring home the cup and to get his own back on the press.
