Michael Laudrup: Why should I leave Swansea City?

“The club have been very clever in the way the DG situation has been resolved. He was kept in the shop window and finally an acceptable sum has been received. I happen to know some of the reasons why he was allowed to go, and from an impeccable source (not a friend of a cousin who knew someones milkman etc). There is no doubt that he scored many critical goals for the Swans and finally helped us to get to Wembley and we do owe him a great debt of gratitude and thus we should wish him well. But the reality is that he had to go. We have excellent players here now and a very slick, efficient goal making machine Expect the guys to now show that the club do not need DG. I would not be surprised if the hammers get plastered tomorrow, it would be very appropriate.”

“@creswell1
You must be one among those who said in the beggining of the season that Michael Laud.rup would be sacked by Christmas. Well, I have to disappoint you. I live in Denmark, I've been following his career since he was a young lad, and I know Michael will be staying here for at least one more season. You probably don't know, but he is a modest person, and he learned at Getafe, Mallorca, and Spartak Moskow that all he needs is a clever chairman, and influence in forming the squad. He doesn't need a 'big' club to prove himself, he already achieved everything playing for Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Ajax.

P.S. Watch us next season playing european football.”

“cresswell, we know laudrup will leave, we all know he won't stay forever. But there's no need for such a negative attitude. You're no great oracle. Everyone leaves eventually. Whether that is sooner or later only time will tell but until then cheer up and enjoy the ride. I certainly have been and will continue to do so.

White_rock, the noises coming out of the Liberty suggest Laudrup made the decision to let Graham go. Another negative, moaning post. Some people are only happy when they're being miserable!!”

“thats what the last two mangers said, so bye bye at the end of the season, Swansea will be in the hunt for another manager, watch this space”

“So many people thought it was the end of the world when Rogers left, how things have progressed, Huw Jenkins...Swansea legend,”

“Excellent news that Michael Laudrup is feeling settled. I am of the view that he has achieved great things since coming to Swansea and I for one am proud that he has graced us with his presence and managerial skills. All power to him and I hope he finds that "Swansea is the graveyard of ambition" by taking the Swans even further. Really exciting times!!”

“Laudrup is a Swansea Legend, no question about that!”

“Great to hear Michael Laudrup talk so positively and I am sure that he is going to stay and move the Swans on to bigger and better things. So far we have reached our first major Cup FInal under his guidance and have played some delightful football and are riding high in the Premiership but within a workable budget whci should be praised when you see other teams spending ridiculous amounts of money buying players and spending exorbitant amounts on wages and they are still languishing below us. We have a team that we should be proud of that has firmly placed Swansea on a World Map and that is down in some part to Michael Laudrup and his backroom team and the sense of the Chariman Huw Jenkins who has refused to be drawn into a senseless spending market and kept our purse strings tight.SO I for one look forward to seeing what Michael Laudrup does in close season and how he will continue to mould the Swans into a force to be reckoned with for many years to come in the Premiership and who knows maybe even Europe. Let's be honest eventually he may move on to bigger things but I honestly feels that the job he has done here is by no way completed and if and when he goes I am sure he will leave the Swans in a bigger and better situation than when he arrived.”

“He probably had a lot of input because Huw is not stupid, he knows why he left the other clubs and wouldn't deliberately let a player leave against the managers wishes.”

“" Laudrup was left frustrated after Jonathan de Guzman was sold just before the transfer deadline in August 2011 and the club failed to secure a replacement"

How much input did you have yesterday Mickey?”
