Eriksson Keeps City Waiting

Manchester City supporters will have to wait a little bit longer before finding out whether former England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson is to become their new manager.

Eriksson is understood to be very likely to commit himself to a three-year deal shortly but the club attempted to play down rumours of the Swede's impending arrival.

City insist they will not announce any appointment until prospective new owner Thaksin Shinawatra has a 75% stake in the club. That situation could take place later in the week.

You just know that he wouldn't take the job unless he were being promised a ton of money for new signings.  S-GE isn't the type to relish bringing along the careers of Ireland, Johnson, Onuaha.  Nor would he waste his time with Samaras, Corradi and/or Vassell as his first choice strikers.  If this deal goes through, there are going to be a lot of new, Blue faces in Manchester come the fall.

    Hey Jeremy, you recall a few weeks ago you wrote a "wish list" for your first team of the new season? Players like Henry, Ribery (Arsenal) Foster, (ManU) etc, etc? Well what's the odds of not 1 of those chosen players making the starting lineups in the prem next season? in other words, have you jinxed them all? Watch out Gareth Bale, we got your number!
