Har alltid varit av den uppfattningen att Svennis var överskattad som tränare. men samtidigt så har han ju på många sätt alltid varit en fascinerande man.
Från Dietmar Hamman`s självbiografi, där han beskrev en försäsongsresa till Thailand med Man City i 2007:
"One morning i was on a sun lounger by the pool when i saw Sven walking towards me carrying a silver tray with a bottle of champagne and two glasses on it".
"It was still only ten o`clock in the morning... Sven came over and put the champagne on the table next to me, then placed one glass in front of me and the other by his lounger".
"I looked up and said: Boss, what are we celebrating?..He turned to me and smiled that gentle smile of his and took on the air of a Buddhist philosopher as he said, Life Kaiser. Then after pausing for a dramtic effect, We are celebrating life".
"With a glass of champagne in hand he stood and looked out towards the horizon, then spoke in that higgledy-piggledy Swedish accent: You know Kaiser, i think i will manage for another five years and come back here and live with two women. Yes. I think i need two beautiful women".
