Eriksson - Leicester the real deal
Sven-Goran Eriksson has revealed he carried out more research before committing himself to Leicester than he did before joining Notts County in order to avoid the pitfalls of his previous venture in the East Midlands.
Eriksson has been confirmed as the new manager at the Walkers Stadium on a two-year contract, replacing Paulo Sousa who was sacked on Friday following the club's dismal start to the npower Championship campaign.
The 62-year-old insists "this is a real project" whereas County, who Eriksson joined as director of football in July 2009, "was not real".
"These people are different [from those at Notts County]," said Eriksson. "I met them a couple of days ago and on Saturday so I like them very much.
"It's obvious the money is there and a lot of money. I have done some checking out, of course I have, because I didn't want it to be like Notts County, but the owners behind this are real people. That's good.
"They want to reach the Premier League as quickly as possible and they are willing to spend what is needed to reach that target."
