Boothroyd looking forward to battling Erikson
City manager not over awed by former England manager. Coventry City make the short journey along the M69 to Leicester today to attempt to get a first Championship Win at The Walkers Stadium. It is also the first time that Coventry manager Aidy Boothroyd has been up against a side managed by the former England manager Sven Goran Erikson with Boothroyd claiming he is looking forward to the encounter. However Boothroyd said, "I won't be taking my autograph book." He admitted he is an admirer of the Swede and how he keeps cool and copes with the pressures of football. Boothroyd said, "When Sven first came into English football, people talked about him having emotional control and an ability to stay calm and cool under pressure." "That was the buzzword then but, after the World Cup in 2006, he was slaughtered because people thought he was not being passionate enough. That's what being a manager is all about. Sometimes you're damned if you do and damned if you don't."
