Besides the fact they've just had a big money takeover and Sven will be bursting with money?

[StefanWolves]

Did you watch the news conference? he said he had offers from other teams for MUCH more money, and if he wanted more money then he would have gone to a much bigger club.

Also, when you say "bursting" with money, that is completely irrelevant, as it won't be Svens money, it'll be the owners, which he will be spending on the club.

They've been taken over, he'll be on a bomb.

Init, but where can you go wrong with a rich owner, big name "director of football" and a club who are at the wrong end of the football league. The only way is up, baby. A challenge would've been getting a team to break into the top four, or getting Burnley to stay up. :eusa_danc

I mean he'll be on a big money salary. So I should hope it's his money.

you can't really compare the two, but getting notts country from the bottom of english football, into the premiership, is hardly easy, think about it, look at City, they spend money, and within 2/3 seasons, they will be in the top 5, maybe the top 4 next season, but when you're in the bottom league, it's much harder really. You can't just throw money at it down their, cause theres no chance of attracting big players, you can throw money at the stadium, training grounds ect, but not the players.
