Sad day for stats!
The stats on the last two pages.
The cliques at the training ground had become so bad that a rule had to be introduced that only three Spanish players were allowed to sit at each table when the squad had lunch.
The players complained Laudrup was aloof, not interested in training and even refused to take sessions when it was raining.
When they went to Dubai for a training camp, the only rules enforced were that the players had to be on the bus for 11am and back on it by 1pm.
Much of the training camp was spent drinking. The players wanted discipline - and did not get it.
And that was typical of Laudrup’s reign.
We can reveal there several player delegations went to Jenkins to complain about Laudrup’s lack of training and discipline.
The fact that the 49-year-old saw fit to go to Paris and give the players two days off after Saturday's bad defeat at Upton Park was, in Jenkins’ eyes, typical of his attitude to the job.

The last page is conclusive proof that statistics have no place in football.
Footballers are such smart people.
It seems like a weird situation, this one, a lot must have gone on that we don't know about.
Yeah - that one stood out for me too. You want discipline - but since nobody actually tells you not to, you go out drinking like a gang of lads in Ibiza. Logical.
You get the feeling this is more about him not having a healthy relationship with the owners than anything else. What else were Swansea expecting? He won them their first major bit of silverware, they're in the Europa league.
Sheer stupidity, and even though they've struggled (largely due to injuries) I don't think this is a purely footballing decision.
