Michael Laudrup Gone

like Adam says, pretty sure he's only been sacked because of the uncertainty. Mind you he did have a contract till 2015 with a £10M release clause so it won't have been a decision taken lightly. They've got a great track record with managers over the last 10 years so no doubt they're doing what's best for the club.
Wow, lot more here, just seen it: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/swansea-sacked-michael-laudrup-phoning-3112286#.UvFrKHnt_2g0 -
I can't see Curbs going to live in Wales.dizzee said:I thought he was going to Madrid in the summer. Mad.
Mind you they may have Curbs on their radar.0 -
Perhaps their fans want somebody to "take them to the next level" ?Ormiston Addick said:I get the sense from Swansea that their fans and board are getting a bit ahead of themselves in terms of their expectations.

At least we had the decency to wait until season six!1 -
Only 3 Spanish players can sit together at any table during lunch. LOL
That mirror article reads like the rants of a disturbed and desperate chairman.
Might have a fiver on them getting relegated.0 -
They always make good appointments. Martinez, Rodgers, Laudrup. It'll be interesting to see who they go for.0

Get him on the first Megabus to Charlton!0
-
Hoddle to be interviewed this week.1

Certainly a good enough manager was Laundrup.
Martinez got Swansea playing, and the managers to follow just kept it the same with the odd good new recruit ie Michu had a great 1st season, a bargain.

I can, seeing he's got that welsh middle name, Llwellyn! ;-)WestCountryAddick said:

Curbs literally gets linked to every job. It's got a repetitive edge to it.
Probably get 25/1 on curbs to be the next manager of McDonald's in welling. Worth a punt seen as he once had a coffee in a McDonald's branch.

But he's never very linked, he's always in the Top 10, but never the favourite! Besides, he'll be in charge of Fulham soon...Dave2l said:Curbs literally gets linked to every job. It's got a repetitive edge to it.

From the Mirror article:
We can reveal Laudrup's departure was met with a huge sigh of relief within the dressing room.
Although the Dane’s 18-month reign saw Swansea win the Capital One Cup, reach the knockout stages of a European competition and enjoy another impressive season in the Premier League, success on the pitch disguised complete chaos off it.
There was a lack of discipline, dressing room bust-ups, cliques and Laudrup’s relationship with chairman Huw Jenkins had long since broken down when the axe fell on Tuesday evening.
Guess results and performance aren't everything.0 -
Are you talking from experience? ;-)Ormiston Addick said:I get the sense from Swansea that their fans and board are getting a bit ahead of themselves in terms of their expectations.
Managers that can keep you up don't grow on trees and one badly timed sacking - and new appointment - can be catastrophic.0 -

They were shit when he went there, they are now really shit.0 -

Interesting to see how the Mirror article says Oscar Garcia from Brighton is one of the possible replacements... Reckon if he goes we'll see Nathan Jones given his first Managerial job at Brighton!!0
-
It's a little known fact that Laudrup hasn't been managing Swansea at all; he sub-contracted the role to Dowie who wore a latex Laudrup mask!
Dowie and Laudrup have never been seen in the same room together - FACT!1 -

If that Mirror article is true then are we supposed to believe that Laudrup completely changed his methods this season? Because i didn't see anyone complaining about squad morale, Laudrup's training methods or a drinking culture at the club last season when they finished 9th and won a trophy.
The chairman had a falling out with Laudrup's agent over their transfer policy and would no longer speak to him. There seems to have been an uneasy truce between Laudrup and Jenkins since then but now the chairman has obviously had enough.
Jenkins is mad though, says he wants a united club and then puts Monk in charge. Chico Flores was chasing him with a brick the other week.

The mind boggles! that is madness0

That is what "cliques" do, I hope it never happens on here :-)0

Curbs isn't involved in the on the pitch stuff. I think we can blame Ray Wilkins for that :-)Riviera said:

Favourites according to The Guardian:
Glenn Hoddle, eccentric former Athletic Bilbao manager Marcelo Bielsa and eccentric former Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp are the biggest names on the list of contenders to replace Michael Laudrup as Swansea City manager. Brighton manager Oscar Garcia, Everton assistant manager Graeme Jones and Hull No2 Steve Agnew also feature.0 -
Swansea 9/1 to go down. Hmm...
If anyone wondered, the Swansea/Charlton relegation double is 24/1. Ahem cough.0 -
It would be silly to say that Laudrup is even half as good a manager as he was a player.
He hasn't really done that much.
Getafe, Spartak Moscow, Mallorca and now Swansea - never lasted two seasons.0
