Looking at a few of the names in that squad, I'm surprised they are where the are in the table. Under Hoofroyd though anything is possible.

There is a lack of any long term (or even medium term!) thinking going on at some clubs, crazy.
@LUFC: STATEMENT: The club would like to make it clear that Brian McDermott remains our first team manager http://t.co/dRI80tVa8j #lufc

With some luck we can play them next year in Div 1.

Laudrup gone too. Is defeat to West Ham that humiliating?
12th in the league and won't break into the top 10 this season. 2 points off the bottom 3 though and wouldn't be surprised to see them slide.

Surely they have someone lined up at Swansea, if they crash out of the prem I can't see them getting back easily. it is a shame as up until now they have been a "model" club in their development.

Reading some reports, there would appear to be more than meets the eye going on at Swansea. Undoubtedly he's been a great success there and at first it seems an odd decision, but apparently he wanted out at the end of the season anyway and was letting things drift a little - as evidenced by their rotten recent run I guess...

One paper said he went off to Paris after the west ham game for two days and also refused to train when it was raining! Has a history as a one season wonder.

Crazy, what short memories Swansea have developed!
It was just over a month ago they denied Spurs permission to speak to him.

From The Times...
It is one of those sackings that is designed to end instability, rather than create it. If there was a widespread perception that Michael Laudrup brought a sense of serenity to Swansea City, it came to be at odds with the reality at a club where tension took hold over the past 12 months.
Even when Swansea won the Capital One Cup last February, amid whispers of interest in their manager from Chelsea and even Real Madrid, some within the club characterised it as a more rocky marriage than it had seemed.
As with Roberto Mancini during his turbulent time at Manchester City, the gratitude and affection of the supporters, after he led them to silverware, did not reflect the day-to-day reality behind the scenes. There was a renewal of vows when Laudrup signed a new contract last March, 12 days after the Capital One Cup success, but the relationship was soured again when the Swansea hierarchy moved to sever ties with Bayram Tutumlu, the manager’s agent, after heated disagreement over the identification and pursuit of transfer targets.
This had never been the Swansea way. Again, to refer to the example of Manchester City under Mancini, there came a tendency to blame much of this new-found tension — among players — within the hierarchy on the manager. For a club who, under Roberto Martínez, Paulo Sousa and Brendan Rodgers, had developed precisely the type of “holistic” model advocated by Manchester City post-Mancini, it was unfamiliar and unsettling.
A downturn in results, as Swansea struggled to deal with the demands of playing in the Europa League, served to widen those tensions. Dissatisfaction grew with what some players perceived to be a detached, hands-off approach, even if Laudrup was entitled to point out that the same approach had led them to ninth place in the Premier League and to cup success last season.
Ultimately, Laudrup’s tenure was cut short because, with a parting of the ways in the summer looking inevitable, Huw Jenkins, the Swansea chairman, felt that the status quo was doing the club more harm than good. The move to restructure the backroom staff yesterday reflected a determination to resolve things one way or the other. It resulted, not entirely surprisingly, in a parting of the ways.
The surprise is that such a calm, stable club and such a calm, stable individual should end up finding that they had less in common than they thought. Laudrup always gave the impression that he would be around for a couple of years, no more, and that seemed to suit the club’s approach, too. What nobody imagined was that it would end in ill feeling, but it never was quite the happy, stable marriage that it appeared from the outside.

Huw Jenkins is so dumb he has taken them from the bottom of League Two to a solid midtable Premier League side, a new ground and a trophy in a decade.
