In the statement from the board, HJ wrote:
"I had a meeting with Michael today in a final attempt to support him and establish a way to improve the work of the backroom team to secure the results we need over the final 14 Premier League games."
Today, Laudrup comes out with:
Laudrup said he is "deeply disappointed" to have been sacked by Swansea and the way he was told.
He claimed he had received "the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary".
Those statements are completely at odds with each other: if you believe the board then this sounds like it's been coming, something that's been discussed for a while. Laudrup's suggests that he was completely unaware that anything was wrong. I find it very hard to believe that that was the case.

It depends on what performance we see on the pitch.
No guarantee either way of what would have or will happen but some sort of change needed to happen and it didn't look as if ML was going to change [Post edited 7 Feb 2014 11:10]

He didn't need to change from the point a game we already had. If we continued to get a point a game for the rest of the season with an easier fixture list and injured players returning that would have been enough.
Then we'd have got a payment from a club taking Laudrup off our hands rather than paying him £4.5 Million to go now.
We've written off a very large sum of money and taken a massive gamble by putting a rookie in charge which leads me to believe that the club was in a terrible state and Jenkins was absolutely convinced that by keeping Laudrup we were heading for the drop. |  |

Which makes you wonder why we turned down Tottenhams approach for him "3 months ago" ( I'm quoting Paul Merson there)
The club doesn't get into such a terrible mess overnight. [Post edited 7 Feb 2014 11:26]

As you say if we continued to get a point a game etc.
Thing is, and I know all about the hard run against better teams we've had lately, but the points per game were getting less.
As you also say " Jenkins was absolutely convinced that by keeping Laudrup we were heading for the drop"
If that's the case then a gamble now to get potentially £90m is a big call but in the boards eyes one that needed taking. | | | |

Well an alternative theory is that HJ lost his bottle and panicked despite the team winning two of our last three and three of our last six fixtures. I don't want to go there.
If Laudrup was trouble and poisoning the club why did we turn that approach down? | |

I like it when people reach these conclusions themselves. | |

Like an MOT things are only as good as the day they happen.
Who knows if things went down hill very quickly, we're all in the dark, but It's a massive call, so hope it's not down to the board losing their bottle | | | |

It's no good guessing what happened between Mr Laudrup and Mr Jenkins. Something was not right on or off the pitch, I totally understand the decision and do feel sympathy for Mr Laudrup. The only thing I am interested in now is giving Gary Monk my full support Saturday and want to see the players giving 100%. |  |

Or the club mishandled it completely and the whole board should resign.
Occam's razor say ML is on the right here especially as LMA is the ones releasing the info not ML himself.
If it comes out that ML is not playing politics or slinging mud - will you demand the entire board including HJ to resign? If not you are hypocrite. |
Just because the LMA are handling the releasing of information hardly suggests anything one way or another.
And even if the club have got this wrong - I would think you'd definately be in the minority who would be asking for the whole board to resign
Whatever their current faults which have been fully discussed on here there has certainly been enough people unhappy with how things have gone to agree to a change
Whether it works or not who knows but we were kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place with performances the way they were and the upcoming fixtures
Famous UK phrase sums it all up for me
"He who dares Rodney....he who dares!!!" |  |

Might have been both,spoke to him on Tuesday afternoon and then we put it in writing which he received on Wednesday.
It might have been in an email. |
Well yeah, I'm sure they spoke to him on Tuesday and then let him know in writing that his employment was being terminated. I don't see how that equates to him not knowing the reasons why he was sacked. | | | |

I read somewhere - maybe one of the newspapers - that Jenkins held a meeting with Laudrup where Laudrup agreed to have Monk as his No.2. Then a few hours later, after re-thinking the situation, Jenkins decided that Laudrup had to go; presumably this is when Laudrup was informed via letter. It came as a 'shock' to him as he'd just a few hours earlier agreed to their demands.
Just speculation, but it's seems clear to me that the board were hoping Laudrup would resign when told Monk was to be No.2.... When that didn't happen, he was sacked. Basically we were looking to get rid of him without having to pay compensation.... Laudrup probably realised that and stood his ground [Post edited 7 Feb 2014 12:45]

Monk has rubbished reports about him getting the number 2 job. Unless Jenkins offered Monk the role (to ML) without informing Monk of this? |  |

I saw Monk deny all knowledge of it on SSN.
There was never a chance of him being Laudrup's number two so there was need need to tell Monk.
A rather obvious ploy to get Laudrup to walk - he's got previous for this but I don't think there was anything like £4.5m at stake before... | | | |

It would also tally with Monk saying that he didn't know anything about him being promoted to no.2. The board were just using it as a plot to try to get Laudrup out. | | | |

Yep... agree with this!
Now the lawyers can silently figure out what the contract say. ML will find a new club and tomorrow Swansea will destroy Cardiff. Everyone is happy! |  | | |
