Sven’s Crime Come with the Job

A lot of ink is being spent writing about Sven-Goran Eriksson – some of it intelligent and some of it predictably inflammatory. I think this commentary fits into the intelligent category. Here’s an excerpt:

There is a need, it seems, for the England manager to be seen as a traitor, a need to destroy him. And now, as the Eriksson business proves, we don’t even need to wait for him to lose football matches. The process of expulsion fills some strange atavistic urge deep in the English psyche.

What do you think, my English friends? Is this an accurate assessment or it this rubbish?
