Yesterday we discussed some possible options to replace David Moyes at Everton and Michael Laudrup’s name came up. It’s always the worst in football but completely and utterly inevitable that a manager of a mid-table club that doesn’t have the best resources but does kick-ass things with what few pennies they do have to mash together and buy a Michu will get “courted” by some bigger fish.
And usually that “courting” process involves a bunch of media arseholes playing match-maker because “It would totally make sense for Laudrup to leave because Everton > Swansea, amirite? Now where’s my sandwich?” etc.
But in this case Laudrup is telling these bastards to speculomasturbate elsewhere:
Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has ruled himself out of the running to take over at Everton this summer.
Laudrup has been linked with the job soon to be vacated by David Moyes, who will replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United in July.
But the 48-year-old Dane described those reports as “pure speculation”, adding: “My intention is to be here [at Swansea].”
He added: “I don’t have dreams of going to other clubs, I live in the present.”
And good. Swansea deserve better than to be a rag doll for chancers proving their possession football cred. The Brendan Rodgers 12-13 Liverpool FC “project” began and ended with three envelopes perhaps held up as a warning.
