Sky Sports: Laudrup confirmed at Swansea

[MiraclesArePossible]

It' all out there on the internet.

Basically the story is . . .

He was due to sign for Liverpool on a 3 year contract, but Liverpool at the last minute changed the contract to 4 years and Michael decided not to join.
We changed it to 4 years AFTER they agreed on a 3 year deal.
When he was about to sign Liverpool had changed it to a 4 year deal.

The problem was not that it was a 4 year deal, but the way Liverpool didn't respect the 3 year deal that HAD agreed on.

And if you do things like that to Laudrup he will simply go somewhere else.

What is this "Inter-Net" of which you speak?

Some of the modern folk use it, I haven't got time, I have to take yet another trip down to the ironmongers, if only I had one of those new no horse drawn carts I keep seeing around the place, shiny they is with rolling circles underneath that seem to help propel the cart, they say there is an 'injun' in the front somewhere that makes it run.

For Swansea it's quite the coup he is a high profile name and now their name will be wider spread and people more aware of them. As a manager I don't really think he's that good to be honest. Thing is with management someone can have huge success somewhere and fall flat on their arse in the next job, maybe he will be great there. They have a good chairman and that's huge for a manager, I hope they do well.

Unfortunately Soaring Eagle hasn't got the energy to run all day so I can't use it.

The club has no one to blame but themselves for not signing Laudrup back then.

We were pretty awesome back then anyway

Michael was actually fine with it being 4 years, he understood that they wanted a year for him to adjust to English football. Problem was, that the pay was the same for 3 years and 4 years, and Laudrup thought this was unfair, so he said no.

The club's fault for being greedy!

Just shows that even when we were good, we were always crap at transfer deals...

He doesn't play good footie though does he?
