Eriksson reveals English interest

(GSM) – Sven-Goran Eriksson claims he was contacted about a new job opportunity in England after leaving his Notts County. The former England boss left County after a takeover by Ray Trew.

After spending heavily in the first months, a summer buyout by the Munto Finance consortium dried out the transfer funds at the club. Eriksson, who accused Munto Finance of being “fake people”, is looking for work again, “I’m a gypsy and I’ve been a gypsy for many years. It doesn’t matter where I live as long as it’s a good football project.”

Eriksson confirmed that he has received a job opportunity in England from an agent.

“Yes, one, but it’s agents and it’s really nothing before you have spoken to a club or an association in a country and put your name on a piece of paper

“I will not rule out anything at this moment. Agents have already started to phone me with a lot of different jobs.

But I prefer to wait until I have a real offer from a club chairman or chairman of a country. Before that it’s only rumours.”

The 62-year-old doubts whether County will ever achieve the ambitions expressed by Munto Finance. The club is currently chasing promotion from League Two.

He said of the new owners: “They made it very clear it’s not going to be a project to try to take Notts County to the Premier League, maybe not even to the Championship, and that’s why I was there.

“When I came first it was a dream, it was a big project, and I liked it very much.

“We thought it was genuine and it seemed to be genuine in the beginning.

“But at the end there was no money and they disappeared.

“They seem to be fake people, all of them.

“They just disappeared without any explanation. I feel they cheated the whole club, all the fans, the players, coaching staff, everyone.

“I don’t know where they are today. They never phoned me back.

“They just went away and left the club with big problems, lots of debts, and myself and the chairman Peter Trembling tried extremely hard to bring investors to the club and people to take over.

“We were close many times but at the end it ended up as it did unfortunately.”

The club are seventh in League Two, but with games in hand on the teams above them, and Eriksson said, “I think they can be promoted this season.

“If you get promoted to a higher division you have to invest money, and I don’t think that will happen, I’m sure it will not.”
