From The Sun

FA chief Brian Barwick has amazingly insisted that Sven Goran Eriksson was NOT a waste of money as England boss.

Loser Eriksson pocketed a staggering £25million during his six years in charge.

He is still costing us £13,000 a day — despite leaving the hotseat nearly two months ago.

And, under the terms of his departure, he is set to receive another £3.2m this season unless he finds a new job.

But the slippery Swede is hardly busting a gut to save the £90,000 a week the FA will pay him until December.

Yet Soho Square chief executive Barwick insisted: “I would not accept the notion that he was an expensive mistake.”

England managed two last-eight finishes at the last two World Cups and a quarter-final spot at Euro 2004.

But, given the amazing wealth of talent at his disposal, almost every pundit argues he should have done much better.

Barwick added: “I would understand why the public would be disappointed with how it finished in Germany.

IMHO Sven was the best thing that happened to Ingerlund , he brought calmness peace and tranquility

*do I really need to explain why this user was banned when he comes out with shit like this??? (actually he was banned for being an offensive wanker, but posting stuff like this didn't help his cause!)*
