Zarcillo Pinot Noir 2007
Monday, June 2nd, 2008So, the worst kept secret in football has finally been revealed. Sven-Göran Eriksson has been sacked by Manchester City. I am always one to say I told you so, but on this occasion I have evidence. I did predict that it would all end in tears.
Now, the rumour mill has turned up Mark Hughes as the top candidate. At this point I have to stand up for Sven. He had a horrific end to the season, results-wise, but he still ended up 9th in his first season in charge of an otherwise relegated club. The Premiership “superstar” in charge of Blackburn Rovers finished an astonishing 3 points and two places higher, after several years in charge of his club. In what sense does that promise a better performance next year? I have two resolutions if Mark Hughes is appointed
1. I will only attend the first home game of the season next year and I vow to sing “Sven-Göran Eriksson” for as long and as loud as my voice will stand.
2. I will not be deflected from my world tour of Pinot Noirs. Meet Zarcillo.
Stumble It!
