Truly awful players. I'd sack him if he did that too.

I think Swansea operate on something similar to sporting director system so the signings can't be pinned on him solely.

Strange this. He had a brilliant last season with them but they have looked nothing like that this season. It can't be all about being in Europe this season can it?

Just got found out really.... people get the hang of what you're doing and cope with it. Like last year - teams worked out how to defend against Mancini's City, but we had world class players capable of grinding us out results. They don't, and their hero last season, Michu, has been nonexistent for various reasons this year.

Still odd timing as a new manager/head coach will still want to try and get the sporting director to look at some players in the Jan window. Now any new manager will need to hope he's good enough to keep them up and last out to summer.

Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2014 8:22 pmStupid sacking. Swansea are a mid table side and can't see them going down, some clubs just hire and fire for the sake of it.
Re: Swansea sacked Laudrup
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2014 8:40 pmone thing to bear in mind in all these things is that we don't have a clue what's going on behind the scenes.
especially as the transfer window just ended, it could well be that Laudrup demanded some improvements which could've been promised for him in the summer or something and now the owners have decided against it.. resulting in a row between ML & owners...
all of this is of course all made up like I'm a journalist working for the mail but I'd at least give the benefit of a doubt to both Laudrup and the owners before the whole truth is out

Can you please stop being too sensible, I've already filled the bath and put the baby in it ready!

Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2014 8:58 pmSorry to hear this. I rate him as a manager and I like him as a bloke.

You're right about that. I think it might prove a fateful decision, regardless of whether or not Laudrup was an appointment they were satisfied with. Firing a manager mid season is always a gamble and I think in the end, statistically speaking, there's no difference in sticking to your man the entire season or firing him along the way. Plus it costs more.
Re: Swansea sacked Laudrup
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2014 9:02 pmWest Ham could do a lot worse than telling Fat Sam to go fuck off and letting Laudrup run the show for them. They need to fire him after the season i'm sure....jettison the fat cunt now and get a decent football playing manager in. The fans are ripe for it.
cheers

My Swansea-supporting mates generally see him as 'another manager carefully chosen by Jenkins', but think he's more prone to rocking the boat and angling for a move to a bigger club than Martinez, Sousa and Rodgers were. I don't know whether the Swans have got someone lined up (Poyet would have been my bet had he gone earlier), or if the relationship soured too much, but the Chairman will have the majority of the fans' backing on this, in my opinion.
Re: Swansea sacked Laudrup
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2014 9:40 pmThey sacked him because they knew he was going to leave for bigger and better things, did a great job last season and it was always going to be tough this season but for me was still doing a good job, some good signings just unlucky with injuries.
He will get another good job a level above Swansea and if he does well there he could get one of the big jobs then.
Can't see the likes of michu and the Spanish contingent been happy he is gone. Didn't Chico have a fight with monk who's now in charge?

so hiring an ambitious manager is a bad move? As soon as someone wants to be competitive and crack on after winning a cup he's a cunt?
Re: Swansea sacked Laudrup
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2014 10:00 pmWise move, no doubt he was looking for a bigger club and the chairman wanted someone focused on the rest of the season. A big decision made there.
