I wouldn't be surprised if Swansea made a push for europe next season. Laudrup will have had a year to settle in and should take them on to the next level.

First name that came to me was Laudrup and result confirms that most here voted for him, Clark also did well but lost a bit of steam towards the end, probably players were not motivated enough once they knew they they would stay up + may be they don't have enough good players in their squad for the whole season. Have also been very impressed with Pochetino (not sure how to write his name)

Laudrup - No question for me. It will be interesting to see if he continues to improve Swansea in the long term, or will he be snapped up by a bigger club.. Everton perhaps, if Moyes leaves?

If I was the Swansea manager and Everton came calling, I wouldn't move and I certainly wouldn't view them as a significantly bigger club. Swansea have got as much chance of excelling in the Prem as Everton have. And they are now cup winners. Can anyone remember the last time Everton won anything? it must be 20 years?!

I voted for Brendan Rodgers for the following reasons:
1. he's ours...its called loyalty in the face of adversity
2. I enjoy watching us play, its been a long time since I could consistently say that.
3. on his two recent signings, they look half decent, Jury out on the other two as they haven't played enough for a definitive conclusion.
4. I think one season is not enough time to draw realistic comparisons and conclusions, giving the different circumstances and expectations in different clubs/environments. For example how would say, Fergie and/or Shanks have done if a similar poll was conducted in their first season? Therefore given that it's a rather silly exercise i'll support our own manager against that of our competitors.

Very true Carheex, I'm not sure I'd jump at the move either but I reckon he'd have more chance finishing in the top 4 with Everton than with Swansea, currently anyway. And I'm sure he'd view that as a step up the ladder, surely? Everton aren't in an ideal financial position obviously but I think their net spend and wages on offer are much greater than Swansea's and as a manager that must be enticing.
