As lone says, if the 40 points in 28 game had any effect on this season, it would make a point, just like the final games of last make no difference. This season, he had 24 points after 24 games, thats all that matters at the end of the day, with an easier run in than any other team on paper, again facts that you cannot deny. But you go right ahead and go on about the last few games of last season like they have any relevance to this season whatsoever. Which they do not. I also am not surprised you did not properly respond to my topic of "estimated points" based on your opinions, instead you and Dai wormed your way out of answering. I am not surprised, as it would be hard to come up with 30+ points in those opening 24 games, without having too high a final target, as 40-46 will be a great season based on european exploits. So yes, you cannot even back up your claims that this season we have been in relegation form, by putting your money where your mouth is so to speak. Those who did answer (bar Valley) had us down for about 26-28 points if not mistaken, so not much difference, as our run in was enough to see us gain points. The only one to be off the mark was Valley, with I think 32-36 points after 24 I think, who also had us down for I think 52 points overall, which is interesting based on 47 and 46 points in our first 2 seasons, so asking a bit much surely to get a further 6 points, when you also tie in our european exploits. So basically Laudrup is merely suffering for the over confidence of fans rather than those with their feet firmly on the ground. If of course I am wrong, then feel free to prove me wrong by answering my topic as requested, and give us your points tally for our season, and put me in my place once and for all, and show me how poor his form was, whilst being realistic, and if you can do that, and I concede your correct, I will never again mention Laudrup, and that goes for Dai too.
What would be really funny is if Monk was sacked one day, having achieved all targets set by his employer, and the employer refused to pay up his contract. I wonder if Laudrup would comment or maintain a dignified silence.
Thats just silly lone . If we hadn't had 40 points in 28 last season we wouldn't have had such a let up the last 10 games..Put that together with the Christmas run against the top teams this seasons , gripped in injury and thats half those 39 games. All explainable to those that want to hear but alas .
Swansea City head coach Garry Monk admitted that former manager Michael Laudrup's recent press conference to explain his sacking by the club was rather pointless. "It was strange as I have never seen a manager lose his job and then two weeks later have a press conference about it, but if that's what you choose to do, you choose to do it." - Monk Yes we are all wondering Garry, well most sane Jacks that is!....................
2 weeks later because that's how long it took the club to notify him of the reasoning. Obviously deliberately strung out. As I said above I'm sure Monk wouldn't have a problem if he delivers the target and then gets sacked with no compensation wouldn't he? You'd find it funny if it happened to you wouldn't you Phillip?
Dignified silence? Whens his next press conference at Heathrow Airport, for Danish press?......................
Not really when you have 2 players capable of scoring 20 goals each a season. I also based that on a fully fit squad during the period, and the new players we had brought in.
His press conference wasn't concerning Garry Monk's business was it? Yet Monk feels able to comment on Laudrup's business...oh why am I trying to explain to a cretin such as yourself anyhow. You're just going to post something irrelevant with a laugh smiley aren't you Phillip.
Lads I'm all for heated debates regarding footballing topics but I'm starting to see the odd dig beginning to creep into some posts. Keep them out guys
I suppose one could say that there are teams above us and below us that have spent considerably more than that and have introduced new failings.
One of the 20+ goal a season strikers has been out for 4 months! Tell me the one about IQ again Phillip
Dignified silence Lol , sorry terror , not in the dragonary I'm afraid , wouldn't know what it was if he fell over it .
I think if you are numpty enough to call a media press conference on you sacking, then you'll find it's a debatable issue, which gives rise to opinions, and Garry Monk's entitled to his view, and raises a sensible question that many others have raised. Bit of an ego trip that back fired if you ask me, and less of the cretin Einstein, or should I call you Albert!...............
