Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson has confessed to his players his job is in doubt.

The Daily Mail says Eriksson's position as Manchester City manager was looking untenable last night after he told his players he had grave doubts about his future at the club.

With City owner Thaksin Shinawatra deeply unsure about his manager's capabilities and the former England coach growing tired of his working environment, Eriksson called his squad together yesterday to outline a depressing vision of the future.

City players are believed to be disappointed by the news that came 24 hours after Eriksson had an unsatisfactory meeting with Thaksin in Manchester.
