Talk:Sven-Göran Eriksson

message: "Eriksson's supporters cite the fact that in 134 years of international football, they have only ever once won major tournament quarter finals on foreign soil."  And if I am NOT mistaken, in those 134 years, England has gone beyond the quarter finals in major tournaments twice actually.  1968 Euro they finished 3rd and 1990 World Cup they finished 4th.  Both ironically were in Italy.  I will make such correction.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.196.9.236 (talk • contribs) 01:31, 12 July 2006  (UTC)

I have personallly never heard of "hugliest" nor does google reveal any informative results. Are there any sources for this claim either? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.65.70.83 (talk) 21:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: "Bouncebackability" is a term coined by one of the recent Premier League managers - perhaps Steve Coppell or Steve Bruce, I can't remember who exactly - to describe how clubs relegated from the Premier League often get promoted the season after they are relegated due to their hugely increased income due to the parachute payments, i.e. they are given the money to allow them to instantly "bounce back". Somehow, this term was picked up by the press and recognised - I think it may have been added to the Oxford Dictionary or something. In this case, it's being used to highlight how Manchester City have instantly "bounced back" from their low point losing 6-0 to Chelsea. Falastur2 (talk) 16:42, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe Iain Dowie is generally credited with coining the word. It is still inappropriate for use in an encyclopedia though, so I have rephrased the sentence. Oldelpaso (talk) 17:02, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The news reports that Justino Compean of the Mexican Football Federation is claiming that Eriksson will be the next Mexico manager have resulted in editors adding this as fact. However, Eriksson's agent Athole Still has responded by announcing "There has been no official contact whatsoever. Mr. Eriksson is a contracted employee of Manchester City Football Club. He has not proactively looked for other employment, nor have I. It's all just rumours. Until there is official negotiation or discussion, it's all just hot air." (from , among others). This is far from clear cut, and editors should refrain from edits about the Mexico job until the matter is clearer. A couple of weeks ago Portuguese newspapers were reporting that Eriksson was about to be named as Benfica manager, but that did not transpire. This is a similar situation - Eriksson himself has remained silent on the matter. Oldelpaso (talk) 18:20, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I have just reverted an edit adding managerial statistics for Real Jaén in 1982 citing es.wikipedia. Eriksson has never managed this club - he went straight to Benfica from IFK (see for example the book Sven by Joe Lovejoy). I can only assume this is a hoax edit on es:. In any case, Wikipedias are not suitable for citations. Oldelpaso (talk) 14:42, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  I'm On Setanta Sports / Special 1 TV 

message: I just did quite a big revert here across about half a dozen edits. I'm sorry if I've screwed up but I couldn't understand how this:
*On 7 September 2005, Eriksson's England team lost a World Cup qualifying match against Northern Ireland 1–0, 
had got changed to this:
*On 7 September 2005, Eriksson led England to a 2-1 victory over Ireland
which, correct me if I'm wrong, contradict each other. This FIFA page says that on 7/9/05 England lost 0-1 to NI so, unless I missed the point - which is not impossible! - it seems that the first one was correct, not the second. There were also a number of issues with the 2-1 version which I felt would need attention anyway, so I hope that under the circumstances this was a reasonable step to take. But if I messed it up, apologies, and please tell me how. I'm also going to have a quick look at the edit history to try and pick up anything useful that I shouldn't have changed.

message: Seriously, the exclusion of details of his highly publicised personal life is ridiculous almost to the level of propaganda. This was brought up five years ago and still either nobody's acted on it or someone's removed it because they don't like what they read. It's not derogatory to Sven to report the truth.
