Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins says that manager Michael Laudrup has not been close to leaving the club following recent speculation over his future.
Jenkins shrugged off the issues with Tutumlu and stressed that his club's future dealings would be in line with what has gone before. "I am not friends with any agent as such, but they are part of football and we do our best to deal with them in the right way. A lot of that (the row with Tutumlu) was blown out of proportion," Jenkins added. "We run our football club in a certain way and whether it is Michael Laudrup and his agent or anyone other manager and his agent, we will continue to run the club as we see fit, that is what we have done for the last 10 years. "You'll have to ask the agent what his reasons were, but things are settled down looking forward to the new season."
