He's doing a great job at Middlesbrough and even managed to get them a Carling Cup.
Look at the players he buys and the tactics. I wouldn't be surprised if Middlesbrough upset everyone and got a top 4 finish.

He scored in Euro 2004 for us.
=D
I think he's a quality player, although I don't think he'll be able to run round like a headless chicken for over 90 minutes against any half decent international side.
If you took any note of how one played in Euro 2004 and the for Chelsea in the Premiership, last season - against Arsénal, incidentally - then, you could see Ashley Cole is best-suited to the left-back role, while Wayne Bridge should play left-midfield (while Alan Thompson is continuously be ignored...).

i personally think our best midfield without scholes wud be:
right sided obv Beckham. in the centre Lampard and Gerrard and on the left i think shud b Ashley Cole and why not play Wayne Bridge left bak. Both gud left footed players who will b able to play on the left hand side of midfield, Sven ddnt even try this in any build-up friendlies be4 euro 2004, i cant b the only person who thinks this
If something's not working, it needs to be changed or fixed.
Sven-Goran Eriksson is NOT a "man" to change things, so it's up to Paul Scholes to do something about it, and he has.
The next England manager, whoever it may turn out to be, will certainly wish he was available, though, I'm sure.
Even with Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and, er... David Beckham, I still think we're gonna miss him greatly, as that "missing link" who connects midfield and attack.
But, presuming his job is still as safe as it seems it could well now be, what will Eriksson do for a midfield, having no real understanding or eye for vision and creativity what-so-ever?
Certainly, not the right thing, I'm sure you'll agree. ;I

whoa! Steven McClaren is jst as bad as Sven. I agree tht we need a good english manager tho. Not sure who though.
Just hoping the FA get rid of Sven quickly and replace him with a English manager. Someone like Steve McClaren would do a good job.
