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

I don't remember him being their manager or playing for them strangely.

His Dad was a big Liverpool fan, fair play to them to granting his wishes.rivalry aside.

 

[borassic]

Doesn't stop them jumping on the bandwagon

come on. Sven said he wished he would have managed Liverpool, they’ve done the right thing and fair play to them. A box is ticked for him before he dies, I hate them but well done to them for this.

I give them credit for it but it still doesn't stop me being a tad cynical about the club.

Nothing to be cynical about here. In his interview revealing his illness and prognosis, he said one of his regrets was never managing Liverpool. His dad, who is still alive, supports them as does Sven.

He asked, they answered. He dies with his wish granted.

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

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.

The club's twitter account posted a message of support after the news of his diagnosis was announced, then sent him Birthday wishes a while afterwards, which I appreciate some may find a bit impersonal but it was acknowledged publicly. I'm sure the away support at Newcastle also chanted his name during that game as it was the first match following the sad news. I haven't heard any chants at home games though.

Perhaps we could do something more and as others have said, it would be a nice touch if he was invited to a game as a guest. Hopefully that's something that has already been discussed behind the scenes.

I’m not sure us hosting a match where he could be manager would be in his wishes, having managed many teams.

It’d be great if some of our fans who enjoyed his season could somehow put together video sharing their memories of his time here to reach him.

As I said it was a brilliant gesture by Liverpool Football Club

We all have to go at some point but Sven-Goran Eriksson is making sure he goes in the absolute best way possible This is wonderful to see!

Heartwarming

It’s testament to his warmth and the wonderful life he’s lived that he’s so widely loved

 

[youngbob]

We've got to get him back for the West Ham game, especially considering who his first City game was against.

Wow that was incredibly moving. One of the most beautiful tributes I have seen.

Unfortunately I couldn’t quite see it clearly as I was peeling the onions in the kitchen at the time.

Wouldnt it be amazing if we could get him back for a game.

Simply has to happen at one of the final 2 home games, I can’t believe there’s not been more of a club tribute already (considering all the content & media teams we have), come on city make it happen

Present the trophy if we win it.

Guest of honour on the pitch if we don't.

Please try City.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

The club are(sadly) running out of time with sorting out a tribute for Sven. Who knows how long he has left ? I hope he manages a good few years, but with this bastard disease you just don't know. Act now City and let's give Sven the send off this gentleman deserves.

Khaldoon probably still working out how much to charge him

 

[uwerosler28]

Shouldn't be in a position where the scousers have done more to honour him than we have, come on city sort it out !

Unnecessary !!

 

[paulchapo]

Can our club please do something if he's fit enough to come over and wishes to do so? He was much loved by City fans during his short spell here. It would be nice to show him that love in his darkest hour.
