Eriksson heads for City exit

Sven-Goran Eriksson's agent Athole Still has revealed that it is unlikely that his client will be staying at Man City next season after poor talks with chairman and boss Thaksin Shinawatra over the past two days.

"That's the way that it's looking - believe me I don't know, I am just giving an answer and a reasonably-formed opinion - it's looking odds against," said Still.

"It's just developments over the last couple of days. If Dr Shinawatra was going to give his ringing support we would have heard it over the last couple of days."

It comes as a tragic end for the Swede, who had started the season in wonderful style with City but has seen the side's form slump in recent weeks.
