Manchester City silence amplifies Sven speculation

2 May 2008 11:12

Sven Goran Eriksson´s future as Manchester City boss remained uncertain on Friday after the club cancelled the manager´s routine pre-match press conference due to "exceptional circumstances".

The former England boss has kept a low profile in the build-up to Sunday´s Barclays Premier League trip to Liverpool, while club owner Thaksin Shinawatra reportedly puts the finishing touches to his summer pay-off.

But Eriksson has already been linked with a move away, most notably to one of his previous clubs, Benfica, and his agent Athole Still told O Jogo: "The door is not closed on Benfica. The question of money is important. He may have been contacted indirectly. If any club wish to talk with Eriksson, they must call me."
