Swansea boss Michael Laudrup believes the South Wales outfit have got their just reward for sticking to a managerial philosophy that saw them win their first major trophy, the Capital One Cup, on Sunday. "There has been a philosophy at Swansea for the last six or seven years," said Laudrup.
"That makes it easier because every time you get someone in they are looking for the same kind of player.
"You don't have to change four or five from the starting XI as you have seen at other clubs when they change completely from one type of manager to another.
"For a team perspective that is very important and financially it is a good thing to do. It was one of the key reasons I was attracted to Swansea in the first place."
