not too bothered, I dont know about anybody else but couldnt care less about him or Swans.
Never saw this coming
Swansea City have sacked boss Michael Laudrup and put club captain Garry Monk in charge for Saturday's clash with arch-rivals Cardiff City.
The news came a day after chairman Huw Jenkins dismissed rumours that they had discussed Laudrup's future.
"It is a decision we have taken reluctantly," Jenkins told the club's website.
"But it's a decision made in the best interests of Swansea City football club and our supporters."
Rumours had been circulating about Laudrup's future since the Swans lost 2-0 at West Ham on Saturday.

WTF - Seems no manager is safe these days with ruthless chairmen abound. They're 12th in the league & still in Europe - admittedly 1 win , 3 draws & 6 loses in the last 10 games hasn't helped but he was the dogs b@llocks according to the media last season. Build them up to see them come crashing down springs to mind.
Could they possibly jump in for Brian McDermott if Leeds don't sort themselves out ???????
I find it strange meself the way it's happened and it being the South Wales derby saturday as well
Sumats up Les , these chairman as ruthless as they may tend to always have something else brewing - a big enough brown bag n Harry 'deputy dawg' Redknapp would snap his hand off.Originally Posted by Les_bradds_lad

mewer like thowd 'eggy pump' brewing
They might employ Malkky Mackay the noo ex Cardiff boss that would upset both camps
Things haven't been good there since the back end of last season when Laudrup was making threats to leave via the media unless they backed him in the transfer market which they said they weren't gonna do but did in the end.
It obviously strained relations & things haven't gone great this season which have resulted in the board asking him to change his coaching team. He's refused so they've sacked him
Always seems to fall out with his bosses after a good initial start
He will not be unemployed for to long I don't think
It was reported in the Daily Mail yesterday that they, the Swansea board want Graham Jones our man who was Roberto's number two at Swansea, Latics and now Everton.
