[Brightwell Bros.]

He was the first manager in my life where winning things and breaking into Europe felt like a real possibility. The first step in what would become strides. RIP.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive, it’s also in a very difficult place to get to and to treat, am pretty sure I read it’s like a 12% chance of survival, so very sad, am sure the club will show its appreciation for the work he did here, les Chapman said he was loved by everyone at the club, Rest easy old friend

I watched a few interviews with him over the years and he was such a calm, decent gentleman. I remember one interviewer asking him if he was angry after he'd either been sacked and/or given a hard time in the press. He smiled and replied no it didn't serve any purpose and was very magnanimous. I wish we could have got him at City before he passed to show him our love and respect.

RIP.
faced death with the utmost dignity and bravery, an absolute gentleman and class act.

Thank you Sven for giving us back our dignity after Pearce. Safe Journey.

Ahh RIP Sven, treated disgracefully by the media when he was over here and always acted gracefully. Gave us blues some excitement after a couple of years of turgid football. Thoughts are with his family.

A very good mate of mine has just been diagnosed with it, he is only 60 and a season ticket holder at City, he doesn't post on here but i know he will have seen this news this lunchtime, and dread to think what emotions will be going through his head right now.

Horrible, just bloody horrible

Thank you, Sven.

Reminds me of how much I loved watching Michael Johnson and Stephen Ireland play. I hope both are happy these days.

(And Micah's energy too. We had so much optimism there ....for a while. )
