Personally i'd have kept Sven it was only because he got a touch of the Eaststand Lower disease where he couldnt keep it in his pants that the FA got rid
Sven was an unbelieveable waste of money. He was gifted the best generation of players this country has had since we actually won the world cup and all he could do was quarter finals. I still don't understand why he took Walcott to the world cup - he clearly had no intention of playing him. The only saving grace that Sven had, was the fact that Steve McClaren made him look good (oh, that and the fact that we beat Germany 5-1 in Germany).
