"Europe had nothing to do with the performances."
And nothing to do with the injuries which were largely responsible for those performances?
If you have 9 players on the treatment list, and a waterlogged training pitch, would you drive them hard during the week and risk further injuries, especially when you have the most important, realistically winnable games coming up? | | | |

Nope, you're still not understanding it, are you.
ANY talks, irrespectively of negotiations, by a club to a manager of another club with regards to a managerial vacancy is tapping that manager up. Which is prohibited by the rules. Didn't you actually know that?
Amazes people Redknapp got away with taping players up, but hey ho.
If Chelsea had approached Swansea about Laudrup, Jenkins would have bitten their hands off. If you're naive to believe Laudrup would turn down the Chelsea role, well, I can sell you the M4 motorway if you want? £2k and it's yours. | |

What I can't see is that, even if he's right, he should be thrilled, not endlessly whining on. His idol is now a free agent and all those big clubs will be queuing up to get him and Tutu Fruttu in the door won't they. No compensation and no barriers. Surely he should be on his knees thanking Swansea City for giving him this wonderful chance to replace Mourino, Guardiola, Ancellotti or even Moyes without him having to feel that he's been 'disloyal' by leaving swansea, which is clearly why he turned doewn these clubs in the summer.

Maybe if he hadn't insisted on a small squad which he then stuffed full of nonentities like Vasquez, Lamah and Tiendalli injuries would have been less of an issue... | |

Ah, Bayram Tutu. Philanthropist. General good egg. Yeah I'll buy that.
I'm still mortified Huw went on holiday in a place without a mobile phone signal or Wifi. Totally unprofessional. In 1995. | |

Tutumlu's a c*nt.
Jenkins should have been at work. | |

So, you think Jenkins had Laudrup on some sort of leash and told him that he couldn't talk to other clubs at all when he was in such high demand? Do you think that his agent wouldn't have been getting calls? If not, then what would have been the use of that 10 million pound release clause? [Post edited 19 Feb 2014 18:48]

Whoa. Hold on there. Are you saying Laudrup was ahead of Mourinho AND Klopp on Abramovic's hit list, or just ahead of Mourinho?
They're both barking of course, but the former ... wow. | |

Lamah and Tiendalli are probably just as good as the likes of Ngog and Emnes, who were probably not Laudrup signings. | | | |

I'm not sure how much physical location matters these days. I'm typing this whilst on a conference call with 20 other people in at least 4 different countries. Not as if anyone was going to fly to Swansea for talks. So long as he worked when over there then it wouldn't be an issue. Whether he did or not is the question of course. | |

No, they couldn't be. Laudrup only signed the good ones. The board signed the rubbish ones. This is known. | |

Yoda sense IQ deficient in this one.
The rules are clearly written down. Illegal approaches and all that.
Abramovich could ONLY have spoken to Laudrup about the Chelsea role IF Swansea gave permission. That's not in doubt. Nothing to do with "leash", everything to do with your utter ignorance of the league regulations.
Permission would only have been given if compensation was agreed in principle first.
Face facts; you know nothing about Prem football or the rules and regulations surrounding it. You also seem blissfully ignorant that the locals on here, the REAL Swansea fans, have let me rightly rip you ridiculous claims to pieces without blasting me for supporting Cardiff. That speaks volumes... | |

Lol. I once had a great shag in a hotel room whilst we were both on a conference call.
Maybe that might encourage Huw to keep in contact. | |

Could have spoken to Tutumlu about it though, which is basically the same thing. | |

Bacon shagger claimed Laudrup spoke to Abramovich.
Splitting hairs, sure, but...
I'd be amazed if the rules hadn't been expanded to cover recognised representatives otherwise that would be a massive loophole being abused. | |

I don't think Klopp needs to lie to his own bosses, when he's taken the team from midtable to the Champions League Final and proven his ability identify and develop young talent.
And if you think Klopp stayed at Dortmund for lack of more lucrative offers elsewhere, I think you are seriously mistaken. | | | |
| The Official Michael Laudrup Press Conference Day Thread on 18:57 - Feb 19 with 1458 views | Dr_Winston |
They'd merely talk to unrecognised representatives instead. The whole system is rotten and ripe for exploitation.
The bacon shaggers are all a bit weird though. They make the Koreans look positively rational and balanced. | |

I didn't say that Laudrup was ahead of Klopp. (Why would you imagine that I did?)
My guess is that Klopp was called first or maybe second. Rejected.
(possibly insert another illustrious name here.)
Laudrup's agent called next. Rejected.
(possibly insert another illustrious name here.)
Finally, Abramovich buries the hatchet and calls Mourinho, who it is important to remember was not given his just recognition the first time as manager. AVRAM GRANT was hired to replace him. AVRAM GRANT! | | | |

You don't really think anyone takes those regulations seriously though do you? They'll just operate through backchannels. Not that that makes this loon's comments any more credible of course, but still ... | |

| The Official Michael Laudrup Press Conference Day Thread on 18:59 - Feb 19 with 1441 views | Uxbridge |
Yeah, that seems plausible. | |

| The Official Michael Laudrup Press Conference Day Thread on 19:01 - Feb 19 with 1426 views | reddythered |
Agree, but I've no doubt that if Huw et al got wind a formal complaint would have been made.
The fool doesn't realise that if true that Laudrup was approached, a laughable claim, Laudrup would have thus landed Chelsea in the sh1t for doing so... | |
