Cajun Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 From the quotes in that article it sounds like it could be Laudrup's unwillingness to commit to the club as much as their performances. “It is the first time in nearly 10 years that the club has parted with a manager in this way, but we had to remove the constant uncertainty surrounding the club and Michael’s long-term future with us. “However, after thinking long and hard about the best way forward, I felt it was unlikely we would achieve a stable environment at the club to allow us to get back to basics and produce the performance levels that have served Swansea City so well over the last few years. “Now we need to put that uncertainty behind us and move forward as a united football club on all fronts, while placing on record our gratitude to Michael for the work he has done over the last 18 months and wish him well for the future.’’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Which is the best stadium tour: Wembley or the Emirates? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Haven't been on an official tour, but much prefer the Emirates. Great bits and pieces around (list of all their hat-trick scorers, etc) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Which is the best stadium tour: Wembley or the Emirates? Considering how stuck in the backwoods Wembley is, I'd go for the Emirates. Neither has enough history to make them much more than empty concrete carbuncles yet though imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Wembley is an incredible stadium, imo. I haven't been to that many stadiums around the World, but I've never seen anything like that one. Well, apart from SJP that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Which is the best stadium tour: Wembley or the Emirates? Considering how stuck in the backwoods Wembley is, I'd go for the Emirates. Neither has enough history to make them much more than empty concrete carbuncles yet though imho. The Emirates is immense and although a new stadium it still feels steeped in history which is probably because it is a shrine to all things Arsenal, past and present. There is nothing empty or concrete about the Emirates. It sadly pisses all over SJP which has it's history and number of seats only to keep it up there as one of the best in the country. Facilities wise, class, decor, comfort, access, design etc. and SJP is looking every inch an early to late 1990s dated concept/idea of what a stadium should be. The Emirates on the other hand is ultra modern and ultra f***ing brilliant tbh. The only downside is how vast it looks and with it how empty it feels in terms of atmosphere etc. The legroom is huge and even though you're sat next to someone, that someone still feels a tad way off. SJP is closed and compact. The pitch at the Emirates is way off from the front rows too which again makes watching a match seem a bit distant and remote as opposed to how involved you can be at SJP. On that front we p*ss all over them which I suppose is what it is all about really. The Emirates though is a great stadium though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 My main reservation was that Emirates would be all about Arsenal and I'm not bothered about them, despite the superior stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Love Becks me like. How many leagues down will the team start or is it different because it's a franchise? There's no promotion/relegation in the American system. They'll enter MLS directly. Tbf some teams do play a year or two in a lower division before being accepted into MLS, sorry if I misunderstood you. I'm pretty sure his Miami team will go straight in though.

A few years ago, a colleague and I went to see him (Arrigo Sacchi) at his home in central Italy. While his two dogs, Ruud and Marco (yes, I know...) romped outside, he told us about a drill he would do to prove a point to his players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
