Sven Goran Eriksson

Sven Goran Eriksson

So once again the revolving door is back in use at The King Power Stadium and the latest casualty Sven Goran Eriksson departs

It would be easy to get carried away and look for excuses as to why Sven should have been sacked, or not, as the case may be, but that debate is no more as Sven, rightly or wrongly is given his marching orders.

When Sven arrived at Leicester I was unsure whether he was the right choice to  get us out of a precarious situation lying at the wrong end of the championship, but Sven went about his business and not only lifted us up the table but placed us on the verge of the promotion fringes, only to fall away again. But Sven had us playing attractive football and the signs for a promotion push this season looked promising, especially with the amount of money he had at his disposal.

Unfortunately spending loads of cash doesn’t always guarantee results and despite being only two points off the play off positions performances have been disappointing with only the occasional glimpse of the football we know we are capable of playing, being put on show.  

So the axe falls, perhaps Sven’s tinkering with the squad and/or, the system were to blame for our misfortunes or perhaps our squad were just not playing to their capabilities. Whatever, it is too late to look for reasons and we now have to look forward.

Sven is a gentleman and he remains dignified in his departure. I for one wish him well

I am not going to try and speculate who will be the next man to try and get us to the promised land of the premier league; I just hope that our owners make the right call! - And get it right. Because the one thing we don’t want to see back in regular action at The King Power Stadium; is the revolving door.
