Not much style, but plenty of substance.

Doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm from Manchester City fans for Sven as their next manager. The general feeling is - why would we want somebody who was failure as England manager, and yet the fact is that if you look at the stats, he was one of the most successful England managers since the war. He, Alf Ramsey, Ron Greenwood and Glen Hoddle are alone in having a 60% or better win record. He certainly didn't - and presumably still doesn't - ooze charisma, but if you're looking for someone with a proven track record, he must be high on your list.
