Rovers face up to ex England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson

They will, however, do just that tomorrow night when they travel to Meadow Lane to face League Two side Notts County, who sent shockwaves throughout English football by appointing the Swede as director of football recently. Eriksson's football pedigree is well known with spells at clubs including Lazio, Roma and Fiorentina, alongside international positions with England and Mexico. As Eriksson prepares for the slightly less glamorous prospect of a first round Carling Cup tie on a Tuesday night in Nottingham, here we take a look at 10 things you may not have known about the 61-year-old Swede. Eriksson is on a £2-million-a-year salary at Notts County - who faced expulsion from the Football League five and a half years ago due to poor finances. The Swede picked up £5,480 for his first day's work at County - watching the team train, after arriving at 10am. Eriksson will earn £342 just for watching Tuesday night's game against Rovers - his wage works out at £228 per hour. Eriksson has pocketed over £5m in wages - after being sacked from his jobs. He pocketed a reported £4m pay-off from England, and further seven-figure sums from Manchester City and Mexico. On a national average wage of £22,000, it would take 91 years for a Notts County fan to earn the yearly wage of their new director. He has worked with Tord Grip at Lazio, England, Manchester City, Mexico and now County - Grip is a 'general adviser'. As a player, Eriksson reached the dizzy heights of Swedish Division Two - first meeting Grip in 1973 while at Karlskoga. Notts County's players had better watch out. In 2006, Eriksson was stung by an undercover reporter posing as a sheikh - branding Rio Ferdinand 'lazy' and speaking about Wayne Rooney's 'poor' family. Sven's appointment certainly scared bookmakers - before his arrival, County were 33-1 to win League Two. They're now 7-1. According to statistics, women outnumber the men in Nottingham by three to one - and you wondered why Lothario Sven agreed to join!
