Matt Juler 148 Posted February 7, 2014 It worries me that Hughton is surprised by Laudrup''s sacking. He talks about how they are in 12th place and uses this in his argument for why the sacking is unjust. Luckily for Swansea City, their board are looking at the points and not the league places.http://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/norwich_city_s_chris_hughton_surprised_by_michael_laudrup_s_culling_at_swansea_city_1_3289040 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,314 Posted February 7, 2014 Hughton''s interviews always include a self preservation line such as how close we are to 10th or how we are surrounded by more established clubs.Despite the fact he is a "nice guy" make no mistake this is a guy who knows how to dig in!

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted February 7, 2014 Many posters on this board were surprised by Laudrup''s sacking and it sounds to me from what has come out in the press it was largely driven by off-the-field issues rather than simply the league performance. So I''d say Hughton simply feels similarly to people at large.And it''s hardly a surprise that managers usually react negatively to other managers being sacked - not exactly rocket science is it ?

can u sit down please 0 Posted February 7, 2014 I know it works both ways but the hughton inners are buying into the dressing room unrest at Swansea and denying anything has happened here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted February 7, 2014 The "in" and "out" camps aren''t blocks who all have the same view on everything. When Laudrup was sacked, quite a few posters reacted by saying he should be brought in as a replacement for Hughton. And some said Norwich should follow Swansea''s line by sacking the manager. Which strikes me as inconsistent - if Swansea were right to sack Laudrup, why should we appoint him ? I''m not too interested in Swansea but from the stuff I''ve skimmed about it I think the off-the-field stuff explains the manager being sacked, which otherwise would be a bit surprising. While there have been a few rumblings at City, I''ve not seen anything like what is being talked about under Laudrup at Swansea where it seems the Board have basicaly been unhappy with Laudrup for quite some time.

Remeber it wasn''t that long ago that Swansea banned Laudrup''s agent from coming to the training ground or stadium due to him trying to arrange a deal with Chelsea. Laudrup has fallen out with the board at every club he''s been at, and whilst up until now many have blamed that on the clubs rather than him, it''s hard to make that case about Swansea - who are one of the best runs clubs in Europe.
