STUART BAXTER has revealed he's willing to return as
AIK Stockholm manager.
I won two cup medals with
AIK, but I know that to win the cup in Scotland is something very special, and I think we are now the best footballing side in Scotland.
In the Stockholm press yesterday,
AIK players absolved themselves of blame and bizarrely pointed an accusing finger at the Lurgan pitch.
But
AIK are playing superbly at the moment, were excellent in crushing Brommapojkarna 4-0 on Monday, have lost only one of their last eight and are brimming with confidence.
He did little wrong against
AIK and was outstanding against Coventry.
His arrival renews ties between the Sky Blues and the Swedes, with City having signed former stars Magnus Hedman and Tomas Antonelius from
AIK during Richardson's reign as chairman.
He said: "I'll willingly speak to
AIK but only when I decide there is no place for me in England.
Asper, 25, was recently voted the best keeper in Sweden after helping
AIK to the League title.
But the Swedes' toilet humour back fired three minutes from time when supersub Waterworth latched onto an Aaron Burns flick-on to fire past
AIK keeper Patrik Calgren.
Mjallby served
AIK for 14 years as a player and the club should do everything they can to get him back on board, according to former boss Bo Petersson.
Welsh clubs have an appalling record in this competition, having lost 15 times in 18 matches, and Town were soon under the cosh, beating back an
AIK corner after 40 seconds.
AIK will coin it in after Baxter masterminded the 1-0 aggregate success over Greeks AEK Athens that took them into UEFA's Promised Land and the glamour section of Arsenal, Barcelona and Fiorentina.
