Michael Laudrup sacked as manager

Denmark's best player ever was sacked as manager after just 18 months in Swansea City.


In the season 2012/13 Michael Laudrup won the biggest trophy in the clubs history, Capital One Cup. Unfortunately less than 12 months after the triumph he was sacked by the club. Last season Swansea finished in 9th place and it can be a little harsh to sack him for the results this season when Swansea is only in 10th place, still with 14 games left for improvement. There's arguments for whether it's a good decision or if it's a bad, but the chairman thinks it's for the better for both the club and Michael Laudrup. Michael has only won one game out of the ten last games.

The chairman Huw Jenkins explained his reasoning's about sacking Michael to the press "However, after thinking long and hard about the best way forward, I felt it was unlikely we would achieve a stable environment at the club to allow us to get back to basics and produce the performance levels that have served Swansea City so well over the last few years." 
Huw Jenkins doesn't believe that they can get back to a stable environment and he wants to put the uncertainty behind the club and move forward as a united club. Even though he has been sacked from Swansea, there are still other Premier League clubs and other top European clubs monitoring the availability of Michael. 

While Michael was the manager he signed an unknown player from Spain, Michu. Nobody predicted that Michu would be the fifth highest goal scorer, in his first season in the Premier League.

    Title: 3
    Hook:2
    Lead: 3
    Body: 3
    Quotes: Included
    Overall: 3/4

    Why: I gave a 3 for the title because it is a good representation for the article

    The hook is fine, it introduces the text very well and it keeps the reader’s attention, I just think it could have been a little better knowing some of your other work.

    The lead is almost perfect, I think I found all of the elements needed.

    The body was good I found the information “how and why”, and some quotes were used.

    Over all I think it is between a 3 and a 4 because it was good everything that was needed in it was found but I think you could have done it just a little better.
