R.I.P Sven. My first season ticket year was when he was manager. We won our first 10 prem home games and did the double over United. Exciting team, class memories with my grandad. Thanks Sven.

Just logged on the City site and knew as soon as I saw the picture. Sad news, a true gentleman has left us today. RIP sir

 

[Metal Biker]

Thanks for everything you gave us Sven. A gentleman through and through, gave us hope back, both for England and Manchester City, and the first time i'd ever seen City do the double over the Rags.

 

[Keeper!]

A gentleman until the very end, what a life this man led, at times I am not sure how he got away, not sure he did either but he did more than most of us could dream of in several lifetimes.

RIP Sir.

Fantastic manager and he certainly had a good innings! He represented the start to getting to where we are now, RIP Sven.

Sad news today.

Thoughts with his family.

We played some good stuff under Sven. His time with us was too short.

Rest in peace.

 

[Abattoir Blue]

Brought the fun back to City after the boredom/despair of Pearce years. And a class act too. Sorry we couldn't save his job on the march, but hope he knew how much affection he was held in by all Blues.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Came across as an incredibly good man.

Enjoyed his time with us.

RIP

Always a gentleman- I remember he always stood up and acknowledged the fans whenever we sang his name - every single time without fail!

 

[bluethai]

It's been fun, thank you, Sven. Rest in peace.

Very sad, an ex blue manager, I was living in Nottingham when he took over Notts County. I was at Meadow Lane the day he was introduced. He was our neighbour for a few months before he left. RIP Sven.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

RIP Sven.

Very likeable character. Never forget chanting his name at Middlesbrough away despite the absolute spanking we got!

Does anyone remember getting a phone call from Sven. Presumably a recording. It was on the home answer machine when I got home from work once. Possibly before the Derby where we got scarves? Not sure, its been a long time! I kept it for ages. RIP Sven
