February 5, 201412 yr The Daily Mirror printed a story last night giving some reasons that resulted in the sacking of manager Michael Laudrup. It seems all has not been well for months at the Liberty Stadium and the decision to bring forward the end of Laudrup’s tenure will cost the club a reported £4.5million. The Daily Mirror reports: lack of discipline off-field dressing room bust-ups cliques drinking binges in Dubai It goes on to mention: Even last week, Jenkins was openly telling players and agents who they were targeting in the transfer window that they were signing for Swansea City and not for Michael Laudrup - because he was going.
February 5, 201412 yr Not that long ago it all seemed to be going rosy for Laudrup, and many saying how much better an appointment he would have been for United. Too early to know how much of the problems at Swansea were of his own making, but his sacking does put some question marks over his management skills, that i think some people were a bit hasty to judge so glowingly.
February 5, 201412 yr timing. south wales derby this weekend. rare for a club to put a player in caretaker charge these days as well isn't it? giving the role to their captain must mean there's some serious rifts in that squad.
February 5, 201412 yr Laudrup is to too great for a club like Swansea , now Italian clubs are lining up to get him back to Serie A .
February 5, 201412 yr Laudrup's body language, in recent interviews, almost suggested that he had become disenchanted with the club. Swansea club is a strange one more like an old fashioned family club,nothing wrong with that and he did bring them some success but the writing was on the wall. No doubt he will find another club if he wants one but most likely in Europe where he might feel more comfortable with the culture of European football.
February 5, 201412 yr Good riddance I say. I'll never forgive him for bringing another Taffy club into the English Premier League, that should be solely for English clubs.
February 5, 201412 yr Good riddance I say. I'll never forgive him for bringing another Taffy club into the English Premier League, that should be solely for English clubs. Racist twit....wait till we give you "the club formerly known as Rangers". Yes and they will rap at every Engrish stadium too....
February 5, 201412 yr Author Yes, and they'd get their <deleted> kicked in every game in the conference, which is where they'd probably have to start off.
February 6, 201412 yr See today that Brendan has come down on the side of the club, saying that they have a history of making the correct decisions. Even though of course Brendan understandably has loyalty with his former club, still find it slightly unusual to effectively endorse the sacking of another manager. Managers usually stick together on the business of sacking, and support each other. Not so in this case. What on earth had Laudrup been up to?! http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/26055993
February 6, 201412 yr Good riddance I say. I'll never forgive him for bringing another Taffy club into the English Premier League, that should be solely for English clubs. Errr ... shouldn't you be blaming Brendan for that Mr Bo??

What on earth had Laudrup been up to?! http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/26055993 yeah it's very curious. heard a swansea fan on the radio last night complaining that laudrup was just never there, always off on trips, not taking training etc. seems that his head and heart weren't in the place. there's also been some ructions about laudrup's own agent sticking his nose in where it wasn't wanted.

Owners, managers and players will all come and go but the core i.e. the ground will always be in England. Our National team is England and this is the English Premier League. If we want to change the national team to Team GB, then fine have a GB Premier League with the Irish and Scots in.

Nah, it doesn't bother me that much. But I can multi-task and be bothered about many things at the same time

You'd really think, the Welsh, with all their nationalistic pride, especially when it comes to sport, would be against it. Funny that they aren't. Or perhaps it's not...

I understand what's in it for the Welsh clubs, just as I understand what would be in it for the Scottish clubs if they were allowed in. What they get out of it isn't a mystery.As for the nationalism thing, I wasn't saying it was to do with it, I was questioning why it wasn't. Strikes me a little as "independence when it suits".
February 6, 201412 yr What they get out of it is millions of quid. I think we are in agreement what is in it for the Welsh clubs. But what is in it for the two English clubs who aren't in the prem because two positions are taken up by interlopers.

But what is in it for the two English clubs who aren't in the prem because two positions are taken up by interlopers. They didn't have millions in sponsorship and TV money when this arrangement was made. In fact it would appear they didn't even have a league until 1992.

You've worn me down Chiccy.I agree with you on a point and you still come up with an argument.
February 7, 201412 yr Man Utd have given Swansea permission to speak to David Moyes even though they haven't asked !
February 7, 201412 yr Good riddance I say. I'll never forgive him for bringing another Taffy club into the English Premier League, that should be solely for English clubs. Some of those results from last season still hurting then boys! Did you never study geography and learn that the Taff is many miles from the Tawe? The Bluebirds (AKA Redtits) are Taffs, those who follow the Swans are Jacks.
February 7, 201412 yr Maybe true in Welsh Wales but they're all Taffys to us English Gotta love em - suicidal but with great voices, every one. [TIC Mr Bo Moderator man, honest!]
