    Maybe Laudrup has had a call from Benfica..?

    Doubt it. Madrid want Ancelotti. No disrespect to Laudrup, but Ancelotti is on a different planet.

    There was a story in the papers that Laudrup said he would need £200m to increase Swansea's league position. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22699324 Personally I think that's way over the top, Tottenham have been flirting with the big boys for a while now without spending anywhere near that, but by bringing in top class younger players. Anyway, sounds like a bit of brinksmanship to land himself a larger budget to me. Obviously taken advise from Cortese.

    My wireless router's reliable range, that is the range where it can be relied upon to submit an IP address to the client computer, has now gone down to 3 feet. Outside of that it gives up. Great eh..?

    I have CAT 5 all over the show at the moment. Replacement router coming in a few days.

    I thought there might be something up when Laudrup came out with what he did ... can we get send off Poch to Benfica and bring in Laudrup?

    Nor me. Poch is a disciple of Marcelo Bielsa, and the system generally results in exciting, attacking football. I fancy he may turn out to be something special.

    I would certainly rate Laudrup as a better manager than Poch right now.

    I'd be happy with this ... just think Laudrup is better than Poch as a manager.

    Whatever happens, I want Laudrup to stick around in England. His style of football is great to watch, and I'm not going to start watching the Portuguese league any time soon.

    Sounds legit. Or not.

    Think straight, do you think I'm still thinking that? That would be very petty and narrow minded. I've said I'd be more than happy for Poch to stay, just think Laudrup is an upgrade on what we have.

    Yeah I'd agree. Swansea have been great to watch this season (though at St. Mary's they were below par).

    Saw Ralf Rangnick is in the frame for the Everton job, he's a pretty good manager + my DoF on FM.

    It's all I can base it on right now. Laudrup has a great style of football, as does Poch, but Laudrup has impressed me with the job he's done this season.

    That's probably exactly why he thinks you're thinking that.

    Not by enough to make it justifiable.
