I realize Swansea might be quite low in supporters here but its big news to me and perhaps a few others that has an interest in good football and the EPL

A lot of rumors around the club lately after they let Brendan Rodgers go to Liverpool, but as Laudrup popped up as one of the prospects it suddenly got more interesting (to me at least, hopefully a few that knows a thing or two about football thought so as well) Now its pretty much confirmed especially since the Swansea official website accidentally released a photo gallery with a small article about Laudrup just a few hours ago only to remove it again quickly. He should be presented as the new coach tomorrow. I hope he will be able to do the job and build on the style they portrayed in last season to if not at least stay i EPL (which may be the hardest task for a 2nd year promotion club) then produce some good football and some good results.
I use coach rather than the description manager although i am sure he will fill both roles if given enough freedom, something he wasnt given at his 2 previous jobs in Mallorca(even after basically saving them in his first season there) and Spartak Moskva. On an average day he could still cause most defenses a bit of trouble with his legendary footwork and out of no where passes.
