Minhosa Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Strangely worded statement that, almost makes you wonder about why his position was so 'unstable'. Maybe he was agitating behind the scenes or making noises about the summer etc. He's been pretty much constantly linked with other clubs hasn't he?

Mattoon Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Just seen the quotes: 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.’’ Hmm, what a shame for Swansea. Pardew's a stick-around kinda guy, they should snap him up on an extended contract! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Wow surprised but Swansea were in a poor run of form despite winning last week and are just 3 points off 2nd from bottom Cardiff. Maybe he lost the dressing room too, who knows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groo Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I could well be missing something here but... Is it a case of Laudrup being that good, or Pardew being that bad? Laudrup's done a pretty poor job this season. His track record is decent but not exactly amazing. He seems to fall out with people a fair bit and can't seem to stay in a job for any length of time. Pardew is 13 points clear of him with no money to spend. Europa League (correctly) wasn't tolerated as an excuse for us. Judging by your post this may come as something as a shock to you but: Swansea and Newcastle are not the same. Newcastle are a bigger club, have better players, more money, higher salaries and more fans than Swansea. Newcastle United also have a gym for their players, Swansea don't. I'll have you know we do have a gym and not 1 but 2 nice shiny new training grounds!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hobshobs Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Get the f*** out of here. What are Swansea expecting ffs To be honest their situation is similar to ours last season, what with being in Europe and struggling in the league, and we all anted Pardew out. Granted the standard of football isn't comparable, but they are genuinely at risk of relegation, having spent a fair bit of money (something Pardew wasn't allowed to do). Something Pardew wasn't allowed to do? What! Pardew bought 5 players that January and still only just managed to avoid relegation. If QPR hadn't gifted us three points we might have a decent manager by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
