Swansea boss Monk questions timing of Laudrup interview

Swansea City boss Garry Monk was disappointed with the timing of Michael Laudrup's tell-all interview this week.

Laudrup discussed his sacking at Swansea on the eve of tonight's Europa League tie with Napoli.

"I have seen bits and bobs of what was said, and basically what I took from it was that he couldn't answer most of the questions for legal reasons, so there was no real point in having it," Monk said.

"If you call a press conference like that, you should be able to say what you want to say.

"It's not my problem, it's between the club and the chairman and the solicitors as it is apparently. We will just get on with it and move on.

"It was strange as I have never seen a manager lose his job and then two weeks later have a press conference about it but if that's what you choose to do, you choose to do (it).

"It's nothing to do with us. We have to move on."
