is Laudrup's success a threat to us?

[dragonred]

same as I thought when raising my initial post, Gus definitely will be on Jenkins radar, especially as we are now playing better and at a higher tempo. Laudrup looks a decent guy, I can see him never publicly touting for another job as he has class and encouraging the Swans best players to sign extensions so doesn't weaken the team just shows that, but that doesn't mean he's not going, only that he will go in a dignified way if an offer arises and with the Swans fans and chairman's good wishes - We need to better hope we get promoted this year because if we don't, and added to Laudrup maybe leaving, I can well see a situation quickly arising with Gus heading down to Swansea. A good season at Swansea seems to bring the chance of upward movement quickly (Martinez, Rogers. Laudrup) and any half decent manager will view such a move as guaranteed premiership profile with excellent chances of a top 6 club move after a season or two.

I would say this though. If we reach the Prem, I would say Brighton are a bigger club than Swansea. Not necessarily in terms of what we have achieved, but in set up, average attendances and potential.

He would be on a hiding to nothing going to Swansea. How is he going to improve upon the success that has already been enjoyed there? Chelsea, of course. Swansea - no.

Still think its very unlikely.

One things for certain, even if he does go he'll still keep banging on about Chelsea

I think there is a lot of wishful thinking on display here. If Gus had access to the Swansea squad I am sure he would be very happy to play a more expansive game than we have seen at The Amex. I'm not saying it will happen but I am sure that if the vacancy arose then Swansea would like to speak to him.

It would be a logical move for Swansea as Gus likes his team to play in the same vein as Swansea, so disruption would be minimal
