Sven-Goran Eriksson Should Get a New Hobby

After padding his bank account while leading England to its traditional mediocre finish at the World Cup, former manager Sven-Goran Eriksson is tired of having his name uttered in the same sentence as the word “failure.”

His Sveness has pulled out of speaking at a FIFA international football symposium in Berlin because he doesn’t want to speak to an empty room or the few people in this world who don’t think he is a joke. Said UEFA president Lennart Johansson:

“He has had enough. He thinks people have being saying what a s..(expletive) he is and how incompetent he is, and that, just because England have won now a match, people are saying how bad he was,” Johansson said.

“He has his money and will still try to have his pride, instead of standing here in Berlin with nobody listening to him because he failed to bring the World Cup to England.”

His players never really listened to him, so you’d think Sven would be used to that sort of thing by now, but we can’t say we’ll miss his vapid mutterings too much anyway.
