Nima TavallaeyHOST
And just a point on having a striker that can play with many people, Roberto Mancini was exactly that guy.
Nima TavallaeyHOST
I remember with Sven-Goran Eriksson was at Sampdoria, uh, he, he launched the careers of Montella and Enrico Chiesa.
Nima TavallaeyHOST
Uh, every season they would buy a new striker and every season Mancini would make it work.
Nima TavallaeyHOST
Um, as, as Sven told us when we interviewed him, one, one of, both of the times we interviewed him he said, "Look, he, he, I knew Mancini was gonna be a coach already then because he was already a coach back then when he was a player." So, um, no, I, I don't have anything else to add other than that.

They've not worked out for us for various reasons, some of them criminal.

And then suddenly we give him a big job like that.
Barnaby SlaterHOST
Paratici, criminality.
ChrisHOST
Um, and Romania weren't bothered really because they- Hungary were the other team that could go through, and Romania hate Hungary.
ChrisHOST
A bit like us and Scotland, so it was a bit of a boring draw, but, um, I lost it when Sven-Goran Eriksson was England manager, and he'd have one 11 play in the first half and one 11 play in the second.
ChrisHOST
And I'm thinking, "What the bloody hell are you learning from that?"
