    Please read the answers on here or look him up. Laudrup has done really well as a manager since 2002. That 11 years of successful management. Not a few games, not a short period. Ill help you out:
     
    2002–2006 Brøndby 2007–2008 Getafe 2008–2009 Spartak Moscow 2010–2011 Mallorca 2012–
    Swansea City
     
    After his playing career ended with Ajax, Laudrup became a coach at age 36 when he started serving as an assistant coach for the Danish national team coach Morten Olsen in 2000. The national team would play a 4–2–3–1 formation, depending on two fastwingers and with the aim to dominate games with a short-passing possession game. Together they led Denmark to the knock-out stage of 2002 World Cup, after which Laudrup took the job as manager for Brøndby in the Danish Superliga. As his assistant coach, Laudrup paired up with former Danish championship winning manager John Jensen, who had played alongside him in the Danish national team.
    At the start of his reign, Laudrup proclaimed a tactical scheme close to that which Olsen and he had coached at the national team. Laudrup renovated the Brøndby team by letting a large contingent of older and experienced players go, in favour of several new offensive players, and he gave the chance to young talents from the club's youth scheme. To ensure the defensive strength of the team, he hired the proven national team player Morten Wieghorst. In his first year as head coach, he managed the team to aDanish Cup win against FC Midtjylland in the final. After finishing runners up twice, he finally led the team to The Double in 2005.
     

    Laudrup as Brøndby manager

    After finishing runners-up in the 2005–06 season, Laudrup left Brøndby along with assistant coach John "Faxe" Jensen. He could not come to an agreement with Brøndby about renewing his contract, and therefore decided to leave the club. He was associated with several new jobs, including head coach of former club Real Madrid and rumours that he would replace Lars Lagerbäck as head coach for the Swedish national team. In 2007, Brøndby decided to name a new lounge at the stadium "The Michael Laudrup Lounge", with Laudrup's approval.
    On 21 June 2007, he was linked to a move to Madrid's La Liga team Getafe by sports newspaper Marca. This was confirmed on 9 July 2007. During his stay in Getafe the club reached the final in Copa del Rey, but lost to Valencia, and the quarter finals in the UEFA Cup (lost in extra time to Bayern Munich). During his tenure, as successor to former Real Madrid manager Bernd Schuster, he brought a new brand of exciting and free-flowing attacking football to the club which brought back memoires of Laudrup as a player. His team, which was not one of the established forces in Spanish football, enjoyed comparative success. However, he performed only one season as manager, tendering his resignation in May 2008.[16]
    After he announced his departure from Getafe he was linked with jobs at Valencia, Benfica, Chelsea, Blackburn Rovers, Panathinaikos, CSKA Moscow and West Ham United. He almost got the job at Panathinaikos, but according to Danish media he wanted an option to allow him to leave, if he got an offer from a Spanish club. This could not be accepted by the Greeks, who chose Henk ten Cate instead. [17] On 12 September 2008, it was officially announced that Laudrup signed a 18-month contract with Spartak Moscow. However, he spent only 7 months in the post, being sacked on 15 April 2009 after Spartak's 0–3 loss to Dinamo Moscow in the Russian Cup.
     

    Laudrup at a Champions League press conference in November 2008, after the match Spartak Moscow and Udinese

    On 22 October 2009, Spanish media announced that Laudrup would be appointed as new manager of Spanish side Atlético Madrid, replacing the short and unsuccessful run of Abel Resino, following Atletico's 4–0 Champions League defeat at the hands of Chelsea, but Laudrup and the club weren't able to agree on terms. The day after, on 23 October, Resino was sacked and Quique Sanchez Flores was appointed as coach as second choice instead of Laudrup.
    In July 2010, Laudrup was appointed manager of RCD Mallorca on a contract that was to run until the end of June 2012. In his first season in Mallorca, Laudrup managed to keep a struggling Mallorca team from relegation, which was suffering from losing many first team players and who was ejected from the Europa League due to a bad financial situation. At the beginning of the 2011–2012 season, on 27 September 2011, Laudrup resigned from his job, following the firing of his assistant, Erik Larsen. Laudrup cited that great frustration with Lorenzo Serra Ferrer, the club's Director of Football, leading to a bad work climate as the main reason for his resignation.[18]
    On 15 June 2012, he was appointed manager of Swansea City on a two-year contract. His first competitive match as Swansea manager came as an impressive 5-0 away win at Loftus Road versus Queens Park Rangers.[19] At Swansea City, Alan Tate says that Laudrup was considered to be the best player in training despite being age of 48.[20]
    On 23 January 2013, Laudrup lead Swansea into their first ever major Cup final, defeating Chelsea 2–0 on aggregate over two legs in the League Cup semi-finals.[21]

    Ha Ha wiping peoples arses, you cant even wipe your own,
    If you read these posts properly its not about starting a thread, its about the "speaking to the enemy" at the start each thread. Even when asking for Volunteers you never put your name forward , in fact you dont offer anything to improve or make this forum a better one.

    whats that got to do with the manager? 
    Starting to think that Moyes will sod off for his "glory" years before failing miserably, and coming back to comfort.

    No. Because he has them playing a great brand of football and has shown with Chico and Michu that he has an eye for a bargain which lets face it, he is going to need if he were to manage us. All of the names you have suggested show how little you know about football other than who won the f.a cup in 1820. Curbishley? I'm not taking that consideration seriously. Redknapp? Never done anything when he's not had a £20m transfer budget swindled from an offshore account. O'neil similar to redknapp needs money to work with and he's a man who paid actual money for emile Heskey and John Carew...

    Did you even read the responses above DK? "Yes he may have done well in south wales, but could he really duplicate that success elsewhere" Steve_E gave several examples of his previous successes, not just swansea.
     
    I understand that its your opinion that you think those names will do well for the club, but do you fancy backing up and saying why? all you've said is that you like them. And O'neil doesnt need big money? Do you actually follow what goes on in football other than results? I'd say O'neil was one of the biggest spenders outside the top 4 only behind redknapp.

    Yeah I agree but I thought brentford played their part in making them look so bad. Refereeing in general this year has been embarrassing tbh, Cole's dive before was a disgrace as well.

    I'll be honest; the thought of Martinez as our manager fills me with dread and a sense of panic.

    I was the Vampire Lover of Kelly Brook in the film Chariots of Fire, in the scene where she tore the limbs off the American Baseball team in front of the screaming 16 year old cheerleaders.

    I don't understand how people rate Martinez at all. He's involved in a relegation battle every year, how does that make a good manager?

    im sticking with Holloway, plays very attacking football and if he had had a defence at Blackpool, theyd still be doing well in the EPL.
     
    To be honest, cant think who else is out there that Id have!

    Seeing as we're a club that survives by selling big we should be concentrating on getting younger players in who we can increase the value of and then sell on.
