it's about time they started sacking the chairmen who appoint these dross managers in the first place. If Bob asks the taxi driver nicely they might wait for Zola to join them.
Should have sacked him 2 weeks ago when it was clear he was out of his depth and Allarduce was still on the market. No one is turning them or Hull around.
Knew they'd regret sacking monk, very good British manager
His nationality has nothing to do with it! Currently doing well and he shouldn't have been sacked so quickly but this kind of rhetoric is needless. For all you know they'll appoint Gary Rowett next!

Agreed, I can't stand the whole "English managers don't get enough/the big jobs" movement. Lovely to see Allardyce, Bruce, et al have passed the torch to a younger generation (Dyche) though.
I was very impressed with Monk and his methods when he took over. He has a bright future. That said, because there is so much money on the line in staying in the Prem, I get why clubs feel the need to do anything they can to stay there.
In general, I don't have much sympathy for managers being given a short amount of time. I hate the notion that "they need to get their own team in." In the modern game, their job is to coach the players. If they can't do that with the players they're given, then they're most likely 1) a bad appointment by those above them (who are never punished) or 2) not good enough.
I said at the time Bradley is not that great of a manager, and his style in no way matched Swansea's. Swansea have been so good at continuity, despite constantly losing managers and players over the last few years. Bradley was a real break from that. He's a very smart man (Princeton educated), and speak about the game well. But his track record isn't great, and he's been far more successful (at least in the US) at having teams well drilled defensively and then looking to hit teams on the counter. That is not the ethos that has been built at Swansea. Not surprised this has ended quickly.

Swans fans need to get behind the team and stop moaning.
If all the fans sing and dance it will be OK

Poor bugger used to get in a right tizz.
Cons: He's Alan Pardew.
How did Swansea go from being the equivalent of the Charlton of the early 2000s to being the Charlton of 2006?
