I have to say I am a little surprised at this breaking news. Still, I guess Eriksson will draw another excessive compensation package while he seeks alternative employment.
In my view, buying all those expensive foreigners, beating United twice and finishing mid-table was a creditable first season.
Mind you, I always had niggling reservations about Mr. Shinawatra.
So, who's next for the job at Manchester City - Jose Mourinho ?
