5 Most Unfair Sackings in Premier League History

#3 Michael Laudrup (Swansea)

Laudrup led the Swans to Wembley for the League Cup final

Okay. This might seem a tad surprising but hear me out. The Swans did very well under Brendan Rodgers to reach the promised land i.e. the top division.

Following the Northern Irishman's departure to Liverpool, Swansea hired a big name player, yet established manager as a replacement in the form of Michael Laudrup.

Laudrup, a former Barcelona and Real Madrid player was the first Dane manager in the Premier League and responsible for arguably the best bargain signing the league has seen in Michu.

In his first season in charge, Laudrup led the Swans to Wembley for the League Cup final, defeating reigning champions Chelsea over two legs in the semis.

The finals saw the Welsh side put on a masterclass as they humbled Bradford 5-0 to clinch the crown, Swansea's first and only major English trophy.

While Swansea may have struggled in the next season, their sacking of Laudrup was unjust. The man had guided them to their greatest ever win without abandoning their famed style of play.

He had brought success with style and substance and his sacking saw the beginning of a spiral that ended in Swansea's relegation from the Premier League.
