When you are a not-so-big side like Swansea, you need to have some sort of patience and belief in your manager especially when you had previous successes. Laudrup deserved more time.

Swansea is 12th. Where should they be in the table? 10th? Teams are way too quick to sack managers. Like Steve Clark, Laudrup's problem was that his team played above themselves for a period and the higher ups thought that they were better than they were. They are mid-table side who are in the middle of the table. Ridiculous sacking.

Am a bit shocked that Michael Laudrup has been sacked Swansea but not too shocked either when you look at their poor run of results in recent times - 8 wins from 35 Premier League games since winning the League Cup. Although Swansea play good football under Laudrup, they have always looked loose IMO in the sense that they are not that good tactically and have a soft belly which can be exposed if you get right at them. Should also note that Laudrup did not stay more than 1 season at a club in the last 3 occasions - Getafe, Spartak Moscow and Mallorca.

Shame about Michael. I didnt think they were doing too bad, had some good results particularly over UTD, funny he gets sacked yet Moyes is destroying Utd and he's fine?

time to make a bid for bony.

If we wanted Bony, we would have easily got him in the summer with one call from Roman. But obviously either we did not want him or he did not want to come here.

Like they are going to get a better manager than him. Ridiculous sacking.

Moyes won't get sacked because he's the chosen one

And let's be honest, the longer Moyes stays...the better it is for us!

Absolutely. Back to transition again when they where showing some signs of progress, long-term

Not watching the match, but apparently Fulham are playing some lower league side and looking absolutely abysmal.

If United can't beat them at the weekend then Moyes should be sacked in the tunnel. Think it would be hilarious to see, but then they'd actually appoint a proper manager.

Fulham need relegation....I think a fresh start would help them as a football club.

I wouldn't mind seeing them get relegated. Absolutely pointless club. Tiny ground they can't even fill, tiny fan base, never come close to winning anything these days.

I REALLY want to see West Ham and that arrogant cunt Allardyce go down as well.

Weird sacking.

All these teams at the relegation zone just want to sack managers to get that instant boost.

Most of the time it happens other time not much.

Will see what happens to them

C'mon man, Fulham is guaranteed 6 points every season.

[Thendo 1,088]

Haha go Sheffield!

[Pizy 18,419]

Okay, now I DEFINITELY want to see this lot embarrass United this weekend.

PLEASE! The look on Moyes' face would be priceless.
