Today it was announced that Swansea manager Michael Laudrup has resigned as manager of Swansea. It is thought that he has had an arguement with Chairman Huw Jenkins over transfer funds.

Chairman Huw Jenkins had this to say after the announcement had been made "It has been confirmed today that manager Michael Laudrup has left his role as manager. Laudrup did have a very good first season with us, with him getting the team into Europe. But unfortunately him and the club have parted ways, we would like to wish Michael all the best for the future". He also went on to say "As of today we will be looking for a new manager, we do have some names in mind and we will be approaching them in the next few days".

It is thought that the favorite to take the job is unknown manager Silas Harrison but Tony Pullis, Gus Poyet and Martin Jol have all been linked with the job.

Petric, aged 31, played 23 games last season for Fulham scoring 5 goals. He has also spent time at big named clubs like HSV, Dortmund and Basel where he has played in the Europa League, which will surely help Swansea out in their Europa League campaign. Harrison was caught after the signing saying "Mladen is a great player with Europa League experience which will certainly help us out this season".

Weber, aged 26, has been at SK Sturm Graz for 4 seasons making a total of 63 games scoring 4 goals. He has also got one international cap for Austia, which he got against Latvia on the 7th June 2011. His natural position is center midfield but he can play defensive midfield and attacking central midfield. Harrison was caught saying "Manuel is a quality player who we got for a reasonably good price, I am sure Manuel can help us this season".

A good start to what I think is your first story here. Keep it up.

@Jamesg237 - Thanks

@wellsy1498 - I got rid of Britton because he getting quite old now and I feel I can find good replacements for him!
