Save our Sven, by seidbereit on May 2, 2008 19:10:32 GMT 1, After what has been a pretty good season for us supporters of MCFC, I suppose it should hardly have come as a surprise that our Club and its revered owners should find some way of totally destroying any hope we thought may finally be on the horizon with their unfathomable and totally incomprehensible plans to sack Sven Goran Eriksson for crimes unknown... if you have any time at all for Sven please sign the petition below, I don't think it will save him, if I'm being honest, but our Chairman needs to be shown that City is not about Thaksin Shinawatra and what he thinks may make him more popular back home in Thailand, it is about us, the Club's supporters. Unfortunately the words of our own songs seem to have come back to bite us on the arse again... "We are not really here".
Many thanks

The following text has been borrowed from: www.manchestercity.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=107822
This one goes out to not only City fans, but football fans everywhere. Save Our Sven...
He may not have been an unqualified success at international level, but at club record his team building skills and record are superb. His blend of Manchester City Academy graduates and young international signings holds much promise for City's future if allowed to continue it's development.
Not only that, but Sven's style and dignity at post match interviews have given football fans throughout the land respite from managers who selectively see incidents or refuse to talk to the media.
Many fans from City and other clubs have voiced their concerns repeatedly at the way top flight English Football is going and the current handling of Manchester City gives further cause for concern.
The least Svennis deserves is a chance to show us what he can achieve after a full close season in charge at MCFC.
If you agree, then please give your support to the Sven petition.

Save our Sven, by manchestermike on May 9, 2008 21:25:18 GMT 1, I DID IT MY WAY
Dr Thaksin's Krazy Guide To Fair Play*: How To Sneak Your Team Into Euro Vase (with a little help from Human Rights Watch)
1) Become prime minister of Thailand.
2) Declare war on the horrifying drug trade by issuing the following horrifying statement: "There is nothing under the sun which the Thai police cannot do."
3) Sigh in contentment as 87 people are killed in the first week of the war on drugs. Practise Frank Sinatra impression.
4) Open the papers to discover that the latest victim of the war on drugs is a nine-year-old shot when police fired at a car carrying him and his mother (police claim a third party shot at the victim's car). Do not reflect on how fair it is for a nine-year-old to get a bullet in the skull. Instead, practise Frank Sinatra impression.
5) Listen as a UN official expresses "deep concern at reports of more than 100 deaths in Thailand in connection with a crackdown on the drug trade".
6) Fire off memo reading: "Do not worry about this. The UN is not my father."
7) Declare "victory" on war on drugs. Ignore the 2,275 people that have been killed in said war. Ruminate on fact that since the start of the campaign homicide rate in Thailand has doubled. Practise Frank Sinatra impression.
8) Read US state department report that Thailand's human rights record has "worsened with regard to extrajudicial killings and arbitrary arrests". Practise Frank Sinatra impression.
9) Dismiss the United States an "annoying friend". Pesky Americans!
10) Decide to restore battered international standing by identifying sleeping giant.
11) Check sleeping giant isn't a drug dealer.
12) Pass Premier League's fit and proper person's test with flying colours despite Amnesty International saying that "Thaksin did preside over some very serious human rights violations".
13) Watch as Human Rights FC do the double over Manchester United. Try to ignore ghost of nine-year-old child whispering in your ear by humming upbeat version of Blue Moon.
14) Make moves to sack perfectly good manager despite the fact that his players, the fans, Bob Carolgees and 99.789% of the population of the universe thinks he is doing a good job.
15) Smile in satisfaction as it looks like your team will be given a place in next season's Euro Vase for, get this, FAIR PLAY!!!!!!!!!
16) Relax in warm bath of chutzpah and irony whistling My Way.
*Fair Play may involve extra-judicial killings and knee-jerk sackings of competent, if unspectacular, managers.

Save our Sven, by streetgirl on Jun 4, 2008 12:11:40 GMT 1, Hey Seid, Sven's a loss, but pretty nice you're getting Mark Hughes.
I assume the thing that gets you is, that like my club (Chelsea) you sit and bear witness to a horrible process where all constancy and stability is gone. It becomes cut-throat and ruthless and there's no sense of connection because it becomes just a business and people aren't allowed to grow and learn and develop.
Yeah, yeah, the money's great, but it's a poison chalice in many respects. Especially when you have interfering owners:
Abramovich
Romanov
Hicks & Gillett
Sinawatra
to name but a few....

Save our Sven, by seidbereit on Jun 5, 2008 10:17:51 GMT 1, Spot on, streetgirl, sad to lose Sven but Hughes is at least the type of manager that won't put up with some of the displays we put in towards the end of the season (particularly Birmingham away, Boro away) so there's hope. Will be interesting to see how much more meddling Frank will do now that we have Gary Cook as Chief Exec, but right now he seems to still be on his crusade to get Jar-Jar signed so he's obviously not finished pissing about in team affairs just yet; not sure what Hughes thinks of it but as he's signed up I assume he at least shrugged his shoulders when asked. Have to wait and see. I've been used to worse times at City so overall can't really moan. Quite relieved there was no truth in the stories about us going for Avram Grant though

Save our Sven, by streetgirl on Jun 9, 2008 13:15:29 GMT 1, Seid...Congrats on landing Mark Hughes. I hope that he has the steel to stick to his guns and not let the manager, like Chelsea, simply purchase players based on name and fame.
Still not sure why you would want Ronahldino or pay him the figures that are being thrown around.
I kinda think we've seen the best of him.
Lazy.
Far too self-centred.
Smacks of Ronaldo in his latter Real days.
