Funnily enough he would have been a good lower league manager, but unfortunately he was propelled into a club where he was well out of his depth! Thank goodness we now have Clement who is 200 times the manager Bradley will ever be. | |

Maybe someone like Port Vale or Swindon would have been a good entry level for him into "English Soccer". | |

“I think anyone who has really taken the time to get to know me, I don’t think they would be thrown off by the fact that in a short amount of time in the Premier League I wasn’t able to put my stamp on that team."
The trouble is the self-hyped-up-pr#ck stamped on SCFC. At the latter stages of his SCFC managerial stint the team looked like it had been stamped all over with lead Frankenstein boots.
God he's making out and genuinely believes he wasn't given enough time. | |

Funny they didn't bring up Swansea's complete 180 since his sacking, certainly worthy of a mention in a fairly long article. | |

Decent enough guy but who in their right mind would give him a league 1 job let alone another shot at a Premier League. | | | |

His lasting legacy this season is the shocking f*cking goal difference he left us. If we go down it'll be down to those wasted months with that clueless clusterf*ck. Yadda yadda bing | |

One win in seven. What were these "indicators"? Guidolin's sacking was spot on, even if the way it was done was outrageously classless. The mistake was employing someone even less competent in his stead. If the board wasn't so preoccupied with selling the club in the summer I doubt Guidolin would ever have got the job permanently. | |

He's the new Marks & Spencer for fans, cannot criticize no matter how poor the football on display was towards the end (and throughout the reign in his case) Have an up arrow to counteract the no doubt down arrows you will have as a response. | |

His managerial appeal is the figment of someone's imagination as well.
18 goals conceded in 5 games is proof of his excellent leadership and managerial prowess | |
| If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious. |

Not sure if you watch the games, but the indications were screamingly obvious in the home games against City and Liverpool. I guess not everyone realises it's possible to show improvement in a game you lose.
Anyway, his sacking was a good thing, because if we had hung on a few more games it may have delayed Bobs 11 game disaster to the point where he had a transfer window and we were dead and buried by the time he got booted.
Early indications are that Clement is better than both of them anyway. | | | |

Prior to January, we clearly had a couple of bad years for player recruitment and the squad wasn't what it should have been.
The football under Guidolin wasn't scintillating, but his record in his first half season with us was very good. As for the 7 games at the start of the season, 1 win in 7 doesn't sound great but they were a tough run of fixtures. The only particularly bad result was the loss to Hull, which was a game we dominated. We picked up a good point against Chelsea and had four 1-goal defeats in games we went into as the underdogs, but some of the performances (like the Liverpool game) were pretty good. We lacked a bit of quality, but we were organised and competitive.
I was aghast and embarrassed to see Guidolin sacked and thought Bradley looked an uninspiring appointment, but like most fans was hopeful that he could do the job (whilst acknowledging that he only got the gig because of his nationality).
Unfortunately we were an absolute shitshow under Bradley. Not only were we still short on quality but we were laughably disorganised and were on course to have the worst defensive record of any team in Premier League history. Is Bob a bad manager? I don't know, I've not seen his previous sides. Did Bob do a very bad job of managing Swansea? Absolutely.
I don't think the fans immediately took against him either. Well, maybe they did on the forum, but the forum is often very negative. The fans in the stadium were supportive until it became clear that we were getting worse with every passing game and were not going to improve.
I do not believe for a second that November and December would have gone so badly under Guidolin.
And it's not surprising that the fans are still bitter over the Bradley appointment (it is a folly that could still see us relegated) or that we are enjoying seeing a squad, that the media tried to present as beyond-saving, move up the league now that we have the right manager.
And Bradley's post-sacking interviews were a bit classless so it's hard to feel any real sympathy. | | | |

The yank should have been given more time,put his stamp on the club.  | | | |

He would have stamped us into certain relegation. | | | |

Haha nice, dude is a bit delusional isn't he?
In all seriousness, I think it's about time to move on, especially if we continue playing the way we are. For all of Bradley's faults and how shady the whole situation was, we most likely wouldn't have Clement without him.
Maybe PC could and would have been appointed instead of BB but we probably wouldn't have gotten as much investment during the window. BB was inept but the squad also needed a minor overhaul and his tenure made that obvious. If we weren't in a mess, we wouldn't have gotten 4 new good players, Taylor out, AND held onto our stars. Something would've changed but it probably wouldn't have improved the squad. I feel as though the window we did have significantly improved the squad.
So, when you look at it one way we could almost be thankful that Bradley was such a terrible manager. I also think that the players never took him seriously and were never going to. For all of Clement's acclaim as a coach and the improvememt in our shape, the players have looked far more motivated to play than under Bradley. I'm not saying they weren't trying but there is a marked difference than under BB.
Simply put, we finally have a coach of real quality on the upswing of his career and that should be the focus. Bar a disaster, we might actually drift into comfortably midtable by the end of season and, if so, retaining PC (and Siggy) becomes top priority. Dwelling on our possibly worst manager ever during this time is a fool's errand. Appreciate the here and now. | | | |

We are now reaping the rewards of Bob`s fruits, it was just a matter of time, if you do not believe me just ask Bob. | | | |

I think Nirvana hits the nail on the head when saying "the players never took him seriously" let's be honest we could all see he was out of his depth it would have been even more apparent for the players to see it.
I feel sorry for Alan Curtis who must have been thinking how the feck is this guy in charge but at the same time had to go with the flow. | | | |

Clement has won more games this season than Guidolin and Bradley combined. Just highlights the stupidity of the board to hire Bradley when Clement was available. If we finish the season well, do not let them off the hook. They need to be held accountable for their incompetence. | | | |
| Brad Bobbly on 12:16 - Feb 14 with 2626 views | jack247 |
If we do finish the season strongly, my worry is they will fall into the same trap we did this summer, by thinking the squad only needs minor tinkering.
They have had a massive fright this season, I'm hoping they don't think they can get away with an ageing squad again. | | | |

Perhaps on the plus side the appointment of Brad bobbly has given this club the almighty kick up the arse that it needed to stop living in the land mediocrity whilst holding our heads just above the water and to formulate a plan using the right manager with players that are prepared to listen and work towards success. | | | |
| Brad Bobbly on 12:32 - Feb 14 with 2597 views | Headmaster |
100% agree. I can see it playing out exactly like last summer unfortunately. Whatever happened to that "summer review" Huw promised last year? Perhaps that's a good starting question for the fan's forum. | | | |

Q What happened to the summer review?
A It was fûcking brilliant. I trousered SEVEN bastà rd million! | | | |
