If Swansea finish 17th then Bradley was the right decision.

The problem is most of the fans (as far as I can tell) wanted Giggs.

Last season with Liverpool was brutal and they made a similar move. Albeit with a far more proven manager. Was still tough to watch.

that was the majority of the people in Wales.
Even if he was a great player, hard to bring a guy like him, with no head coaching experience and say here, wer're in 17th, dig us out of this hole. He's either the GOAT or gone before the season ends.

Interested to see what bradley does, but the owners need to start spending some F;ing money. I saw an article that 3 teams actually MADE money during last transfer, and the Swans were one of them (everton and southhampton were the others).

West Ham being West Ham - Spurs remain unbeaten.

And what the hell has happened to Swansea City this season? Can't blame this all on Bradley - They're on dangerous ground.

You can't sell your best players every year. If they are not buyers in January, relegation is a serious possibility..

Mignolet is autistic. Please, for the love of GOD, put in Karius from here on out. I don't give a f.uck if he chokes I am sick of Mignolet. We all know he turns into Corky when pressured.

That was shocking to say the least. Spurs castoffs Carroll and Siguršsson providing the much missing Swan firepower early and gutty go ahead by Sig.

Safe to say no one say that result coming. wow.

they give up the tie in the 90th minute after just being bombarded the entire 2nd half. They have one of the worst back lines in the EPL, which is a result of selling their captain, Ashley Williams to Everton during the transfer.

During the transfer they throw a whole bunch of cash in getting two Spanish forwards/strikers.....WHO THEY DON'T EVEN START! The same transfer in which they were one of 3 teams to actually MAKE money. The American's (Levin, etc.) were supposed to hit the ground running and be spending money, they're the ones who got all the fans all riled up with their deep pockets talk, but when push came to shove, they kept the money instead of spending. This team at one point and time was owned by a community or town trust, and now they're in the hands of Corporate Americans, and look at the results.

Also, you got guys like Ki just going through the motions but he finds his way on the field every week. Fernandez and Rangel shouldn't be playing EPL futbol period, but they're back line regulars.

time will tell, if they're not one of the most active teams during the transfer then mgt is content with relegation, which will cost them millions on EPL TV revenue. At the end of the day, you have to spend money to make money.

Please tell me you didn't just call soccer "futbol"

That should be a consideration for automatic relegation.

didn't want to give the American owners the satisfaction of calling it soccer.....which is used for the other team in which they own, DC United
