Cruyff was speaking to the BBC when he said "I know some of the details, money is absolutely not the major issue<\/p>\n
"The Premier call's big, especially after Roberto's six years at Wigan.<\/p>\n
"I know for many it's a shock move and the Swansea fans will be very disappointed and hurt<\/p>\n
"I've been with Roberto for a few days, I know he had very, very big doubts and felt bad about the situation. <\/p>\n
"It was a difficult decision for him. He also had a difficult decision when he gave up playing to become a manager at Swansea, but he made the best choice. <\/p>\n
"Now a Premier League club have come in for him, one where he will have the same people around him from all his years as a player. <\/p>\n
"He didn't make the Premier as a player. It's a very, very special league, and all the managers in the world would love a chance there.<\/p>\n
"He embarked on a road with Swansea, and the chairman [Huw Jenkins] has been fantastic to him," said Cruyff. <\/p>\n
"But he had limited resources player-wise. I know Swansea wanted to keep Jordi Gomez, but they couldn't compete with what other clubs were offering. <\/p>\n
"Swansea fans will now be expecting a fight for promotion… I'm not sure if that's realistic when they will be competing against sides like Newcastle. <\/p>\n
"Sometimes in football the train only comes one time." <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
