sven and his time as director of football at notts was a rollercoaster of the season but having him around, with all the managerial changes i do think helped keep the squad together and focused on the pitch.

It is appropriate that Notts County is paying tribute to Sven-Göran Eriksson, whose time as Director of Football was a significant boost and media attraction during one of the club's best seasons in many years. It is sad to think that we are saying goodbye to him without being able to bring him back to the club in the years since, but this tribute will be our way of recognizing his contributions.

The team that he helped to build got Notts promoted that year.  

Through no fault or his own, things didn't work out as he had planned, however his kindness, grace & integrity shon through when he left the club.

Rest in Peace Sven.

It is only right for this to be done at a home game. Sven was here for a season, but that was quite the dream for us back then. Having a chance to say our final goodbye, to a man not only was our director of football, but also parted ways mutually agreeing to waver his salary but prior to that having tried to find the club an owner. It showed his commitment, without which Notts could have seen a much darker time.

A great way to remember Sven-Göran Eriksson. His passion and dedication were inspirational.

The decision to honour Sven-Göran Eriksson with a minute’s applause is a beautiful gesture that highlights the profound impact he had on Notts County. Eriksson’s arrival brought a new wave of optimism, leading the club to impressive achievements such as winning the League Two Championship. However, his true legacy lies in his character and integrity. As supporters, players, and staff come together to celebrate his life, it’s evident that his influence extends well beyond his tenure. Eriksson will always be remembered as a legend at Meadow Lane.

Honouring Sven with a minute's applause should echo throughout Meadow Lane. I hope fans behave themselves and don't ruin it like the last major tribute. A heartfelt send-off is the least we can do, especially considering he left us without receiving money that he waived.

I hope we repeat the applause in the 76th minute or at least chant his name. His time at Notts brought a lot of attention to the club and reawakened a sleeping fanbase. To be the best team in that season and win the title, after it seemed to be between Rochdale and Bournemouth, I think it's only right we repeat it.
