Park Life 71 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Eriksson holds Notts County talks "Eriksson managed Manchester City for one season in 2007/08 Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson is in talks with Notts County about becoming director of football, BBC Radio Nottingham understands. The Magpies, who have recently been taken over by a Middle-Eastern consortium, are refusing to confirm or deny the reports. Earlier newspaper reports had linked Eriksson with the club's manager role. The 61-year-old, who spent five years in charge of England, was sacked as coach of Mexico in April. BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Slater said: "Claims that Notts are to appoint Eriksson as manager are wide off the mark. "It is far more likely Eriksson will be brought in as director of football." The former Manchester City manager is not the only high-profile name to be linked with the job. Slater added: "My understanding is that Eriksson is not the first high-profile personality to be linked with the newly created post as director of football. "Former England manager Glenn Hoddle has also been in the frame." Following Eriksson's dismissal in Mexico, he had been linked with a return to the Premier League."

acrossthepond 896 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 The Premier League in 5 years? He'd be better off hoping for Joey Barton to become a ballerina. They must be paying him a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpossiblyDaft 1 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 To be fair, its Championship in 5 years, then aim for the Premiership after that. Which is perfectly possible - Peterborough have done it pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Castell 0 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I wonder who the head coach/manager will be? This is all rather strange, but then football has gone mad years ago. I wonder if Dennis Wise will be offering advice on how to succeed in his role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpossiblyDaft 1 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I think they're planning to keep McParland to start with (and then inevitably get shot at the slightest slip). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
