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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.

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.

Guess results and performance aren't everything.
They were shit when he went there, they are now really shit.
Forever
Dowie and Laudrup have never been seen in the same room together - FACT!

If anyone wondered, the Swansea/Charlton relegation double is 24/1. Ahem cough.
