SVEN-GORAN ERIKSSON LATEST MANAGER AT LEICESTER

Sven Goran Eriksson has become Leicester's eighth manager in the three years that Milan Mandaric has been chairman.Nigel Pearson was not encouraged to stay at the end of last season despite being the best of the seven.The League Managers Association understandably condemned Mandaric for the latest sacking of Paulo Sousa after just nine games but failed to point out that Sousa walked out of Swansea after serving just one year of a three year contact.You cannot always have your cake and eat it.Ther LMA,like lots of other bodies,have selective memories.You get what you see with Mandaric,an ambitious,impatient,ruthless chairman but I have told Milan several times that you don't get success by quickly changing your manager so many times.Ian Holloway may have ultimately got Leicester relegated but where are Blackpool right now.Personally I did not think Sousa was what Leicester needed.I certainly don't rate him above Pearson who was told he was free to talk to Hull.Now Eriksson who has a two year contract and is seriously wedged up from football.He did ok for England,ok for Manchester City.But will he do it for Leicester without huge financial backing and top class players?I really doubt it.
