I will never forget the fans forum where he was introduced and he said. It is virtually impossible for a club our size to win the league, but we can win a cup. The rest is history, thanks for some of my greatest footballing memories.
It was a wonderful time. We had other good managers during our rise to the EPL, but for me only the first Tosh season in the old First Division can really compare. How sad that Michael's tenure with us ended as it did.
Cardiff City lost in the FA cup final to Portsmouth in 2008 and lost to Liverpool 2-2 (3-2 on penalties. They are Welsh and to lose on penalties is pretty close to be fair to them.

But they are still losers, the size of the loss is immaterial. When they win a cup in a supporters lifetime and have major wins in Europe the following season we can start to talk about them.

So you think that's a comparison?

Winning is key.
Did they play a premier league side on route to both of those finals ? I don’t think they did when they got to the 2008 fa cup final. Their route was a very easy one.
As was the league cup when they again lost.

Greatest manager we have had that includes tosh in my eyes..
I have to go for Tosh, the way he took us through the leagues as player manager and manager will be very difficult to replicate, imho. That’s not to say I didn’t thoroughly enjoy the Laudrup period.

Same for me , a Club which previously yo yo'd between the leagues then gain successive promotions in the manner we did it has to be a dreams most Clubs have never achieved, Laudrup's tenure was a perfect storm , with manager ,players and circumstance aligned to provide us with such memories and if a person such as man who's status in world football deems it as his greatest success then who am I to argue

Absolutely Lifey.
Martinez, Brendan and Laudrup did a wonderful job here, as much as I'm not keen on Martinez to say the least, he deserves some credit in our rise.
My daughter had a part time job in a store , Swansea Marina , Laudrups wife called in on a regular basis , It seems she was a lovely women and customer , nice one already .
There again Sven and Leicester City were staying at the Marriot Hotel prior to a game , he walked into the shop earlier , she had no idea who he was , bought his paper and left . A workmate later told her who he was .
As mentioned earlier , great managers have come and gone for whatever reasons .
How do you compare Laudrup , her favourite call , to Tosh , back to Harry Griffiths .
Loved the trip to the Cup Final day , brilliant occasion , but Managers come and go .
The present quickly becomes the past I can't honestly see us going back up anytime soon.I was hoping we would turn into a Burnley WBA kind of club always flirting with promotion with the odd promotion back up.These passengers as I call them now have no ambition to see us honestly pushing for the top flight they are happy bouncing around in this league with a hardcore crowd of 14-15k and creaming off the top now and then when the kind of Piroe player comes and goes.A shame as we really were the darlings of the game for those couple of seasons
Just finished watching welcome to Wrexham and I remember those tears and pinch myself moments that they are going through now. I went to as many Premiership games home and away as I could, Wembley and 4 Europe away trips and remember thinking suck it up now because it won't last. I would still take that little snap shot of joy than manufacturerd expectancy of years of being on top like the Manchester clubs,Liverpool...etc

There are no reason not to enjoy Cardiff loses but factually they did go 'penalty shootout close' to beating Liverpool not Bradford.
One can wish them all the worst but still acknowledge their glorious failures.
I still believe that there was a reasonable chance the before 'Charlie Morgan's intervention' Swansea might have lost. to Chelsea. It was a legendary moment n Swansea's history.
Swansea TV need to do a "meet up at the Lighthouse with Charlie and Mihael". Both are entrepreneurs in fermented refreshments.
The team he put together was one of the best i have ever seen for the Swans, was a joy to watch them, never felt like the underdogs and shutting up the bigger sides was awesome, he did run Michu into the ground but i can forgive him that for everything else he brought
