All the aggravation was worth it, says Sven

SVEN-GORAN ERIKSSON insists he would have no hesitation in telling anyone offered the England job to seize the “fantastic” opportunity with both hands.

Football Association chief executive Brian Barwick will not rule out appointing another foreigner as Eriksson's successor, and the England head coach himself said the job was worth all the aggravation.

The FA and Eriksson have agreed a deal that will see the Swede step down after the World Cup, two years before his contract was due to expire, following the latest News of the World revelations.
