He'd only met the club secretary 4 or 5 times in all the time he was here when most managers see her once or twice a week and he absolutely refused to give his phone number to any of the players and refused to take theirs,he told the players that if they wanted to speak to him about anything they do it in training,if it was away from training and they needed to speak to him they were to phone someone at the club and ask them to contact him. Hence he couldn't phone the up to say bye bye when he left.
Strange chap. |  |

I'm starting to wonder if this thread is because Laudrup might not have wanted to speak to Darran...

You can answer the question above too. | |

Well i dont agree, but with that said, i dont think ML is that great a manager...
He had Succes in Brondby, they have been shit since he left, he won the liga and the Cup twice. Getafe, he were also great, but leaved because he couldnt see them progress.. Moscow was awfull and Mallorca were more or less bankrupt.
THe real question for me is was ML the right manager? YES, for the long run NO!
I think and believe that HJ signing of ML is a masterstroke, even though it did not end well. Swansea is by size the smallest club to enter PL in last many years, with no financial backing, therefore is difficult to attract players with more quality than players from championship and others low levels league. Swansea needed a guy who could get players with higher level. I dont think Swansea could had get Michu, Paplo, Bony, Poz, Canas, JDG, AMat and Jonjo. It would have been signings like you see now Emnes and Ngog.. Even though they can look good, they dont get you anywhere... (Emnes is a fine player, but i have no confidence that he could improve swansea )
Signing Laudrup got swansea Further and the clubs reputation around the world has grown! Now its a better position than when Laudrup started at the club! And that is a success nothing less.. Was is because of Laudrup managing skills? maybe or might not, was it becuase of his great name ? i Think so.. |
I think that's a great point about Laudrup's contribution to Swansea. It also highlights why Laudrup's unlikely to be a success at a bigger club. Most of what he has to contribute is his name and how it helps him attract talent (and that he does seem to have a decent eye for talent). But a big club can already attract talent, so he doesn't have much to add. He'd need to be a master tactician and/or man-manager in order to really make a difference, and it's clear that Laudrup is neither of those things (definitely not the latter and ok at best on the former). |  | | |

Serious question for you do you not recognise anything at all in what I've said about Laudrup?
As a Dane you've obviously followed his career so let's have an honest answer. |
You can see a post from me on this side (earlier today) where I say that I think Laudrup should have shown more commitment, and that the plan B was not visible. I am not only all in when it comes to Laudrup. Anyway I don't see things as black or white, and all in all I think Laudrup has been great for Swansea. That is just my opinion. When it comes to his communication with the players, I don't have a clue. How should I know? How do You know anything about that? | |

It's 100% clear that he's neither of them,watch Monk embracing Dyer when he got subbed on Saturday,you never saw that once with Laudrup. | |

But I know it's true. |
Yeah and i also know alot about the supposed FACTS .
so what your now saying is that pablo Hernandez is telling lies(by saying Laudrup sent him a text to wish him well) and your origional point of Laudrup not giving out his number or taking any of the players numbers is factually true ??
Is that correct Darren ?
Now answer truthfully here please . | | | |

So You don't think Laudrup has a lot of thoughts about football? He has had the best trainers in his professionel carreer. I think Laudrup has a lot of tactical knowledge. It would be naiv to think anything else than that. Laudrup made a difference tactically in some of our games against big opponents the last two years. Swansea did get some good results. On such days everyone on this site were praising Laudrup for his decisions. Maybe You have forgotten about that. | |

True but 7 pages based on a lie against ML presented as a known fact by the senior mod of a site owned by the chair of the supporters club (who are backing the ML Sacking).
Almost as bad as the classless leaks seemingly from the club that Huw himself said should stop. |  | | |

Very few of the big managers are embracing their players after a goal. | |

Well I know one of the players. Rarely tells me any gossip, I wouldn't ask and wouldn't post it on here. I was told very early on that he wasn't the most communicative with the players to put it mildly. Now that he's gone I'll state what I know.
Monks is held in very high regard by the players. |  |

Odd. What would you call the interaction between dyer and laudrup when Laudrup had subbed Dyer off the pitch in the cup final after the... incident with attitudes between dyer and de guzman? | |

Exactly correct. And there in lies the certain push of an agenda by some people not as informed as they sometimes like to think they are but used as a pawn in a bigger game | | | |

You're avoiding the premise.
I stated in another thread that Laudrup is no doubt reserved. But that doesn't make him anti-social aas you are trying to paint him.
There's a world of difference.
Now, why do you dance around the premise that you have been carrier of random gossip which intent can only been seen as an attempt to sling mud at a former clubmanager?
As spratty said, things doesn't really look good in this thread given the premises. | |

Just thinking the same he was really affectionate with him.
Why do people have to make a load of bolloux up about people to justify treating them badly. Can they not even see what they are doing nor how pathetic it is. | | | |

Very true. but i think that is quite common knowledge RE Laudrups interaction with the players. Different strokes for different folks , to use Garry Monks words "there is no right way,there is no wrong way" when it comes to management styles, but of course thats not strictly true because we sacked Laudrup last week !!..  | | | |

If most of the players have had that opinion, then it is bad. I am just saying that I don't know anything about that. I just don't think a player wants to play under the same manager twice, if he does not like him. I guess Laudrup is neiter totally bad or totally fantastic in this case of Swansea. Anyway my overall opinion is that he has done a good job when looking at the results and the players coming to Swansea. | |
