Swansea City – Bob Bradley

Bob Bradley has only been in charge at Swansea City since October 3rd. Despite this, the American is already feeling the heat.

Under former manager Francesco Guidolin the Swans won just one of the club’s first seven matches. Bradley hasn’t fared much better with just one win in seven as well.

Swansea are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table with only two wins and nine points after 14 matches.

Rationally it is way too soon to consider getting rid of the former US National team coach. Yet Bradley feels that he is being treated unfairly due to being an American. He recently addressed the situation saying, “I don’t spend any time thinking about it. If some people want to criticise – there were some who had me out the door from the first day because of my accent.”

Bradley is planning on improving the squad he inherited during the upcoming transfer window.

Similar to the situation at Hull, the fans are directing their anger at Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins and the board. Unlike at Hull, however, Jenkins has publicly accepted the blame for the club’s current situation.

The Swans have had four managers within the space of a year. It would be unfair for Bradley to pay the ultimate price for a situation that he inherited. The problem is that fairness may not play in to the decision.
