Michael Laudrup new Swansea City manager

[Darkon]

well, all but confirmed. Swansea web team today ran a "Laudrup career in pictures" for a short while, but was removed quickly after it was to early.

But what do people reckon of that appointment? I think he fits in well with the way they played last year, and can go in quickly. He will need a few new players though.

Interesting appointment.

He's got a big task ahead of him to carry on the good work of Rodgers, so I'm looking forward to seeing how he does.

Really really good player been a bit up and down as a manager but looking forward to see what he can do

Not easy taking a team in the second season of the PL and improving it. Interesting appointment as said, and look forward to seeing what style he will implement and what players he can attract.

It's really refreshing to see one of the lower clubs give a manager like Laudrup a go, sick of seeing failures get chance after chance.. He'll help them attract players from abroad too.

seems to be the trend in getting a young manager in ...........

Lucky sods. It'll be good to see how he gets on and whether he can build upon Rodgers' philosophy.
