Where 's the sense, Sven?

Sven-Goran Eriksson has been confirmed as the new director of football at League Two minnows Notts County. Having a job, he insited, was far better than not having a job. Apparentl, he's been dishing out similar advice to sven-Goran Eriksson. The former England manager is reported to be on the verge of takimng the director of folltball role at League Two strugglers Notts County, which is a little like Donald Trump opening up a hot-dog stand in the Bronx.

Notts County came very close to being relegated out of the football league last season, which means that Eriksson is about to go from the white-hot fervour of the world cup qualifiers with Mexico to turgid, mud-encrusted hoof-fests against the likes of barnet and Accrington Stanley. Something's not adding up here. County have recently been acquired by a consortium of arab investors, Munto Finance, who you can only assume came up with this hare-brained scheme in the pub as the barman called "last order"
