    Someone suggested that he resigned because he failed to sell Cissy to a foreign club.

    What are you blathering on about? How is the strength of a league determined by how many teams are competing for the title? By your logic, how **** is the Bundesliga?

    The Bundesliga is clearly the weakest league in Europe <whistle>

    Swansea sack Michael Laudrup. Another guy touted as Wenger's replacement goes by the wayside, while the great man leads the PL. :)

    Michael Laudrup always seems to have an impressive first season at his new club, but then it all goes tits up after that. Can see someone like Spurs trying to get him after they get rid of Tim ****wood.

    Just in a different class .

    There is a small group of footballing gods.

    He is right there .
    Yer van pussies and Rooneys and Torres's dont get close.

    35 yards out , ONE touch ,......... ONE TOUCH and its a perfect one .

    I know someone (researcher and pro football punter) and he told me months ago the board were losing the plot with Laudrup, apparentently his work ethic is loose and they perceived his approach as lazy.
    I posted on the SWFC board at the time and got shouted down, I don't blame them, at the time they were going well and everything appeared fine on the outside, but clearly issues were there and had been for a while....

    Interesting. The Swansea board are not one to sack their managers easily as well. First time they sacked a manager in ten years or something.

    no attacking intent and a lacklustre defence.

    favourites to go down imo and i can't see them bouncing back up either. need a fresh approach

    did you see the goal , the cross came in and not one Fulham player left the ground , rooted , 4 of them never even moved .

    Talk about not wanting it enough .

    If i was the manager i would tell em , forget about being payed this week you lazy bastards.

    Fulham seem destined to go down, or they might just rescue themselves from out of relegation as they did few seasons back. Personally wouldn't miss them, there are quite a few teams in the EPL who really bring nothing to it, Fulham are amongst those teams, as are West Ham.

    Laudrup sacked. 6 months ago he could do no wrong and people were touting him to go on to do big things. From Hero to Zero in such a short space of time.

    Same as Steve Clarke, that's what you get if you overachieve for a season...

    Piskie - as I said in my previous post, even when he was lifting the League Cup last year the board weren't happy, they really don't like his work ethic and think hi slaid back approach is a little too laid back for the demands on a long Premier League season.
    I can only assume they didn't get rid of him a few weeks ago because any new manager would want to spend in January....

    Crazy, Swansea have gone from being in trouble to now being rudderless and in real danger of getting relegated.
