Was it a different Sven that signed Sol Campbell at League 2 Notts County?

On the Mark Saggers show, just listened again. Martin Lipton, chief sports writer at the Mirror.
Said Clement said it was about time now, not desperate to leave, but.... (then Saggers cuts him off).
About 12 mins in on the 8:30 section if anyone else wants to listen, more after the update on the Nigeria goal.
Not sure.
That can't be the same Sven who ever so ASTUTELY payed over £1m for Michael Johnson when at Leicester City on loan, only to make 7 appearances and be sent packing half way through the season? Or the same one who spent £5 MILLION on Matt Mills in the Championship, threw £40k (according to my Leicester STH housemate) a week at Beckford on a 4 year deal.... I could continue.

The Sven delusion continues. It's this sort of attitude that will hold us back as a club as we won't be able to attract top quality candidates.

You can mock Sven for many things but i'm not that's one of them. Are you saying he wouldn't be good enough for League 2 despite the fact that he went on to re-join Arsenal and play for Newcastle?

Perfect, if only for the inevitable 'Chop Souey' headline after he starts the season with 6 straight defeats.

Whoever it is , we need to make sure , as much as possible that he/shewill stay for 3-4 years minimum . We need stability else we will never have a successful 2-3 or 4 year plan to reach the premier . Even now we are starting from scratch again .
Well I don't want to be accused of sexism !
But if we get an unproven manager in who does really well then other bigger clubs will also look at him. Look at what has happened with Pinnochio at Southampton.

True , it is always a worry , but then look at Leicester , Burnley , Hull and Cardiff who managed to get away with it . We just need to have a plan to get into the Premier then obviously circumstances would change , so take each stage at a time .

Didnt TB have a 5 year plan for this but each year has been thwarted by the manager getting a strop and leaving unexpectedly.
No, I'm not saying that at all.
I'm suggesting that Sven's success has been largely based on significant spending.

Congratulations. You posted something that made me put 'prefer' and 'Dougie Freedman' in the same thought....

Under normal circumstances you might want to take a bit of time over the appointment, but we have some major rebuilding of Poyet's team that needs undertaking, and Leicester are after our best player for a derisory fee. I think we need to get the manager position sorted pronto.
I realise that the manager merry-go-round still has to stop at Southampton, West Brom and Celtic, and this is one of the reasons Bloom seems drawn to managers who aren't on board, i.e. Clement or Garde.

Sven's greatest successes were at Goteburg, Lazio and Benfica (and arguably England, but that's a whole other thread). Did he really spend big at those clubs? Not convinced he did especially.

Yes correct , I was just answering somebody else . But that is we want , managerial stability for at least 3-4 years it may give us a chance of promotion otherwise we may always struggle especially as we have no parachute payments .
