Sven Goran Eriksson | Passes away from cancer aged 76 (p 32)

You know me, I'll take any opportunity to spread some Scouse hate but this isn't the thread for it.

If this brings an ounce of happiness to Sven then it's a lovely thing and I am all for it.

I would love it if he could make it to a City game at some point so we can all show our appreciation.
 
Might go to the game, in a City shirt. Not for them. For Sven. Might dig out the #SaveOurSven banner

Tickets for the charity match are priced at £28 for adults, £8 for juniors and £18 for over-65s.

Ahh shit that got to me. Always a gentleman, God bless him, I wish he could somehow beat it.

Personally under the circumstances, I'd like to think he is beating it by enjoying the remaining months he has, and not letting it get to him mentally.

Cancer can take your body, but it won't really win if you don't let it
 
It would be disappointing if the club didn't at least acknowledge him in some way. He was treated appallingly by the previous regime and he did a good job with us. Another season with Pearce or a similarly mediocre manager could have seen us relegated in 2008 and no takeover.

He had no professional association with Liverpool and yet they have done this for him. I hate that lot and you can be cynical and say it's good PR but if our club just chose to completely ignore him I would be disgusted.

Cisse, Torres, El-Zhar, and Vignal scoring for the Swede

I hope he has really enjoyed the experience, I'm glad to see all the messages he's received from the old England boys. Please, please Khaldoon if you are reading the threads like we know you do, organise something so we can give Sven a send-off too.

He could lead a City Legends team, maybe we can play Sampdoria, Lazio, or Goteborg. Personally I am fond of @Gone for a Burton's suggestion above that he could lead us in one last Derby, build it into the end of season festivities. If he wants to attend any league games, give him executive seats, or let him sit pitchside with Pep, Juanma, and Carlos. Invite him into the dressing room, imagine how much of a boost it would be for everyone.

There's plenty of things you can criticise Liverpool for, but this isn't one of them, credit to them for doing that for Sven. I wish City had done something like this.

As someone said earlier, will be a disgrace if we do nothing for Sven at this moment in time.
 
I remember one of the last games at Maine Rd Uwe Rosler had been diagnosed with Cancer and his chant was belted out around the stadium despite him leaving us at least half a decade prior. I doubt if half the crowd at the Etihad even know Sven managed us, not a single mention from the club or chant from the crowd since this awful news broke. " Sven Goran Eriksson, Seven Goran Eriksson" a small gesture would mean so much.
