Micheal Laudrup Sacked

[Paris]

They were saying on football weekly the other day that Laudrup has suffered a bad case of second season syndrome in all his other managerial jobs.

After last seasons achievements and European football it was always going to be a testing season. They've got to make sure that his replacement is top notch. Otherwise they are in serious doo doo.

Maybe?

Garry Monk favourite to take over full time.

Garry Monk favourite to take over full time.

That would be one hell of a risky appointment.

That is the old Southampton centre back we considered then changed our minds.

Laudrup will get another job and Swansea will survive

Been brewing .

Inevitable and pushed before jumped

Why do you presume that this will damage his career? He would have been in all likelihood leaving of his own choice at the end of the season and he has plenty of contacts in La Liga. His body of work at Swansea will still stand him in good stead for future employment in top flight football anywhere across Europe.

I never said it would damage his career, nor do I think that it will do. What he achieved at Swansea last year will far outweigh the mess that this season is looking like becoming, I was just making the comparison between his reputation a few months ago (walking on water) to now (sunk, for a short while).

I don't think his reputation is sunk at all. It may well be, in fact, that he already has his next managerial assignment already lined up.

I believe the thinking behind the decision is that it was well known with Swansea that Laudrup was going to be leaving this summer, the disappointing form this season caused unrest amongst the board so with his pending departure and slightly precarious league position they've acted before it was too late.

It was never going to get any better than a cup final win and highest ever finish in the prem last year amazed he didn't jump ship in the summer !

I wonder if Spurs might still be interested, bearing in mind they will soon find out they have made a terrible mistake in appointing a right THICKO.

This is the same Thicko who was wanted by Blacburn and by many on here when Gus left and also a very highly respected coach within the game.

 

[glasfryn]

and only yesterday his chairman said there was nothing in the rumour that they were discussing his future

never TRUST anyone in football

Tim Sherwood is massively overrated. I'll be staggered if he is still Spurs boss in August.

He might be a respected coach, but it's pretty obvious he's no member of MENSA. Very tactically naïve in how he set Tottenham up against Man City last week without a holding midfielder.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

9th place finish, a league cup and not consigned to relegation yet? It's a funny old world in football.

But he will be a lot richer whatever happens!

 

[Willy Dangle]

It means one of two things....

1. It's the Leeds tactics and he'll be back by morning
2. Di Canio rises again

its been a fairly typical season really for a fairly small team who are also in europe. Very difficult to balance the two with a small squad. Fortunately they still have some excellent players such as Bony who have kept them from really struggle like, for example, Ipswich in the past.

shame as i do like swansea and i also like laudrup from his playing days so i was enjoying that combination. Hopefully they'll bring in a replacement with an even more impressive hairstyle
