Sven's future still uncertain

It is still uncertain whether Sven-Goran Eriksson will be Manchester City's manager next season even after he held two meetings with owner Thaksin Shinawatra over the weekend.
The Manchester Evening News reports that the two men held talks before Saturday's Academy Gala Dinner and at the Radisson Hotel on Sunday morning.
The paper says the talks were 'cordial and a catch up', but there is still uncertainty about what will happen to the former England manager this summer.
It was suggested earlier this month that Luiz Felipe Scolari was being lined up to take over at Eastlands and Shinawatra has done little to end the speculation.
He told reporters during a trip to Dubai earlier in April: "There are no plans at the moment. We will have to evaluate at the end of the season."
Meanwhile, Eriksson insists he wants to continue the job he started last summer, saying: "We need to invest more money on players - that is part of the project.
"If we do that, it will be fantastic as we all want success. Everyone is looking forward to that happening and I am sure we will be better next season.
"This is a new team, a young team and you can see signs already that these players are capable of winning trophies in the future.
"It is my job to concentrate on the team and the players to make sure we win games."
