Laudrup is sacked

Laudrup has tactical nous, plays attractive football and will be a draw for players.

Pardew isn't.

 

Correct on all accounts. Laudrup is also sexier than our man Pards.

 

There must be more to this sacking than meets the eye. I have never heard a fellow manager come out and support a club for sacking a manager before. Either Brendan Rogers is a first class tit, or things have been going on at Swansea that shouldn't have been. Looks like some of the rumours may have been correct.

Brendan Rodgers has backed his former club Swansea following the sacking of manager Michael Laudrup.
Rodgers, who was the Swans' boss for two seasons before leaving to join Liverpool, says the club have a history of making "correct decisions".
"It's always sad when a manager loses his job - and Michael has done an excellent job - but they feel they have had to make a change," he said.
Laudrup was sacked on Tuesday after succeeding Rodgers in July 2012.

Swans chairman Huw Jenkins replaced the Dane on a temporary basis with club captain Gary Monk on Tuesday.
"It's a real special football club," added Rodgers. "They've made the correct decisions over a decade to get from League Two to being an established Premier League team."
The Northern Irishman added that Monk has managerial potential.
"He was a wonderful captain for me - very loyal, very generous as a skipper - and I have got every confidence that, in time, he's going to be a manager," Rodgers told BBC Sport.
"Gary is going to be a very good manager."

 

Sticking up for his mate, plenty do it.
