The Official Michael Laudrup Press Conference Day Thread on 17:26 - Feb 18 with 2580 views | Uxbridge | He was the record signing. The marquee name. However there were doubts because he wouldn't play him until he had to. Could have just answered with a simple Yes or No. | |

The Official Michael Laudrup Press Conference Day Thread on 17:30 - Feb 18 with 2544 views | SkipTheJack | ML always represented the Swans with class and dignity, and there's no need to find someone to blame. It's not ML's fault and it's not the board's fault. We're just a small fish in a big pond and we needed to make a change in order to halt the slide towards relegation. Anything else that's said on the matter is just not necessary. | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The Official Michael Laudrup Press Conference Day Thread on 17:31 - Feb 18 with 2531 views | legoman | The only thing I find slightly concerning is that ML suggests no mention of his position was made at the Tuesday meeting with HJ and when he did receive his e-mail it alluded to a "breach of contract". I would have thought that suggests something other than the poor results, which are plain to see. ML seems totally bemused by it all, as if whatever "breach" he has committed is a mystery to him. I would expect if I'd been sacked in that way I would have been given a clear reason why and for the communication to say that. I don't know HJ but I find it hard to believe a man of his experience and with access to legal advice, would terminate ML's contract in any way other than the correct one. So we either don't know the whole story or there's been one hell of a mis-communication here. Personally, I learned nothing from the press conference and I view it as a damage limitation exercise on MLs behalf. His results hardly enhance his reputation in his search for the next job, so it would certainly help his case to be seen as being hard done by. That's not to say I think ML is dishonourable, he's just trying to protect his position. | |

The players were not happy with Laudrup and his style, fact. It was over some time before he got the boot. Great player, great ambassador for Danish football, thanks for the memories, fvck off. | |

The Official Michael Laudrup Press Conference Day Thread on 17:34 - Feb 18 with 2498 views | ThaiJack | I believe if they sacked Laudrup for only winning 9 out of 38 and gone public with that, Laudrup would have taken his coat and left. And then he would not have had a press conference today. But it seems that they are trying to pin him on a breach of contract while orchestrating a smear campaign that then gets so much out of control that HJ the next day tries to put a break on it. This is blatantly to try and sneak out of paying ML what it says in his contract he is entitled to. Hate or love ML you can simply not condole such action. It has taken 9 days for SCFC lawyers to invent a letter justifying the reasons for his dismissal - I am sure it is not saying "poor results". | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
