Why Laudrup got sacked

I'm going to start by saying that Huw Jenkins is the reason why Swansea are in the Premier League and I have no doubt at all in his loyalty and commitment to Swansea City. On the other hand Laudrup viewed Swansea as a stepping stone, he's never been that loyal even as a player. So instantly I'm going to side with Jenkins.

I suspect the reasons why he has gone are many, first he wouldn't commit to his long term future to the club. Why keep someone around like that?

Secondly I think Jenkins will not go secure the services of a high profile mega bucks players and throw money away, in the process potentially jeopardising the long term future of the club. Why would any chairman do that! Swansea have invested in very young players and I think that is the sensible thing to do.

Finally I think he had lost the dressing room, if the players don't respect you then how are you expected to be a leader.

Pure speculation on my part. I'm nervous about the Cardiff game though.

Swansea Sites

Being a Swansea Jack I have a number of sites focused on the Swansea Area.

Have Tyres in Swansea which looks at the best place to buy Tyres, Swansea Furniture a guide on the shops that sell sofas, tables and sideboards. Another site I have acts as a guide to Mothercare Stores and have just posted up details on Mothercare Swansea which has details of opening times etc.

I'm assuming that everyone caught the great Fall and Rise of Swansea City on Iplayer!

Wembley

delighted to be getting to Wembley again now the worry starts over getting tickets for Bradford v Swansea Cup Final. I have a cunning plan though I really do not want to miss out after all beating Reading was amazing.

In an odd way this is going to be a more significant but less important game for the Swans, the Reading game was to get into the Premier League this is just for bragging rights.

Must remember to update my Swansea Furniture site passing out congrats too all. Lets all not forget that the real hero is Huw Jenkins!

Brendan Rodgers Walks Alone

Well there you go Swansea a stepping stone again :)

It is a gamble by all parties, Brendan career is in the infancy, Liverpool are at a low point in their history. It depends really if Liverpool fans will happy with a top ten finish playing some really nice football then Rodgers is just the man, if Top Four is essential then it is going to end in tears.

Huw Jenkins the real architect of Swansea's rise will get a new manager in, manage him to deliver results.

Awesome Run Ends

Well after an international break we had Stoke, Wigan and Man City and I think this was a make or break 3 match run.

3 Points would have been good but to have taken 6 points was amazing. We should be safe now and the fight to get a Swansea 2012/2013 season ticket starts here!

Still blogging elsewhere of course Oak Furniture Land Liverpool is an example and relevant to Swansea check out Airport Travel Swansea

Mxied results

I was galling to lose the win with such a late goal by Chelsea but at the end of the day Chelsea deserved a point.

The win against West Brom was delightful so in retrospect 4 points from those two games was a nice tally.

It all went a bit wrong against Norwich but it shows how much we rely on Joe Allen as I think we lost the game in midfield.

Get In First Away Win

My brother in law managed to get to the Villa game said the Swansea Fans were awesome. When the Villa fans were leaving ten minutes from the end (2-0 down) apparently the Swansea Fans started singing 'Is this a Fire Drill, is this a fire drill'.

Awesome!

Swansea v Arsenal next week and I have a ticket! It is going to be a tough game although I think it should be entertaining if we play like we did against Spurs then we should be able to get something from the game at least.
