BrahimHemdani 1 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I disagree on Swansea. He came into Swansea with a strong team alrready. Martinex had built a philosophy at Swansea which Rodgers then continued. Laudrup walked into a well-oiled entity at Swansea. Martinez is under-rated for what he did at Swansea IMHO. Wont disagree on the other two though. Fair comment on Swansea although he did "find" Michu and won their first ever cup final! There might also be an argument that Getafe was Bernd Schuster's team (but he's not dong so well with bcash strapped Malaga); but who had ever heard of Getafe before Laudrup went there and were within seconds of knocking Bayern Munich out in the quarter final of the UEFA Cup. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wont disagree on the other two though. Agree RE Martinez, he is proving himself to be very impressive and Id love to see them get 4th place. Just a shame he has a relegation on his CV but Wigan were punching above there weight for too long. Id also through Pablo Sousa in there, he had a good season after Martinez. Rodgers carried the baton. There just seems to be a pattern with teams who win a trophy and play in the Thursday night cup, as soon as they get that their form turns awful. Wigan, Birmingham, Middlesboro, Fulham....Now Swansea. Its taken a toll on Newcastle in the past also. Tottenham seem to be coping this season but they spent 100m in the summer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanGers193 0 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Tough one. On the face of it, it looks like he's done a great job but they're in awful form, not just this season but ever since they won the cup. Seemingly a lot of the players didn't like his methods and wanted him gone as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 917 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Swansea are the team in free fall in the league at the moment, there is always one (Blackpool and Phil Browns's Hull in the past) but I thought Laudrup would turn them around as he plays good football. I now fancy Cardiff to win the derby tomorrow. They may be a bit like Fulham, getting rid of a good manager and replaced him with an inexperienced manager and at the moment Fulham have got worse! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
