Sven’s dream job at Notts County

According to a recent survey, Nottingham has a ratio of one man per four women. After reading that I realised why wily old silver-fox Sven Goran Eriksson took his new post of director of football at Notts County. The famous lover of women clearly also heard that statistic and couldn’t resist the challenge of winning over the Nottingham public in his own unique style!

On a serious note though the whole thing is completely bizarre, a few weeks ago Sven was being linked to Premier League Portsmouth and all of a sudden he turns up in Nottingham and signs a five year deal to become Notts County’s director of football.

When I first heard about it I had to check my calendar to see if it was April 1st. According to Sven himself the League Two club have ambitious plans to make it to the Premier League.

The former England boss also stated that it is the biggest challenge of his career and he couldn’t of unstated that anymore. The Magpies have struggled both on and off the pitch in recent years and finished 19th in League Two last season. The club have recently undergone a takeover and everybody at Meadow Lane are positive that things are on the up. Maybe Sven can see something I can’t and maybe the match could be a match made in heaven, only time will tell. Good Luck Sven!
