Martinez, Rodgers and Laudrup
at 13:49 26 Feb 2013

I'm a United fan, but your guys' forum is one of those I read fairly often these days, and I have a lingering question. Not having really been familiar with Swansea until you reached the Premier League, I am kinda interested in what the influence of each recent manager has been.

To the uninformed, like myself, the story goes that Martinez kicked everything off, Rodgers developed what he started, and Laudrup has developed it further, each with a similar philosophy to playing the game. However, is this an accurate summation? In particular, I wonder about Rodgers's contribution.

With both Rodgers and Martinez on the Premier League scene, I've seen plenty of both, but while Martinez always strikes me as an intelligent guy and innovative thinker, Rodgers has, especially since joining Liverpool, come across as more limited; an imitator rather than an innovator, and something of a self-promoter. It leaves me with this niggling feeling that Rodgers took the credit for the foundations Martinez laid, but I have nothing to base this on but a hunch.

So can anyone enlighten me on the actual influences of each manager? Who has been the most important?
