I really hope it's not genuine, but we do have a history of having ars*holes tweeting absolute sh*te at the club, and this Twitter account does seem to have JVZ' fingerprints all over it.
It's not genuine mate. It's ripping the piss out of him

The account's been suspended. I don't tweet, but isn't it the case that there's many false accounts on Twitter? So under what circumstances would the account be suspended? Shame cos it was well funny.

Some stuff was posted on there yesterday mentioning Dyer and Morgan (deleted very quickly I think), so it was obviously sailing close to the wind. But other than that I didn't see anything abusive - just a piss take parody. Bob himself or someone at the club probably lacks a sense of humour.
In the absence of that, we'll have to go back to laughing at other parodies of American coaches like the one posted yesterday:

I know you guys want to think he is an idiot because he is an American.
Despite what you may think of him as a manager, he is an Ivy League educated which is on par with Cambridge and better than Oxford and the rest of the Universities in the UK. He is a very smart man.

I don't my friend.

On a par with Cambridge and better than the Oxford which is currently the top university in the world? How does that work??
On a more serious note, no one on here believes him to be stupid, and no one is criticising him because he is an American. Everyone wants him to succeed because if he succeeds then so do we.
The issue that people have with him has nothing to do with his nationality. It is to do with his suitability for the job. It is an enormous jump from the French Second Division to the premier league - that's why no other club in the premier league takes a manager from there. The only reason people are mentioning his nationality when discussing the appointment is because our owners being American is the only reason why he was considered in the first place - it is for commercial reasons - to increase our profile in the US so that they can improve our commercial prospects in one of the world's most rapidly growing markets for football.
If an American manager was appointed who had experience of the Italian, Spanish or German top divisions, no one would even remotely care that he was American as it would be obvious that he was suitable for the job.
I don't believe anyone blames him - he is just doing what everyone does and furthering his career as best he can. Our irritation is with the people at our club that make the decisions, not with Bob Bradley.
Finally, I imagine that if the numerous American sports fans and commentators at any point mentioned whether or not his appointment would be good for Swansea City rather than good for American sports, it may be a little less of an issue?

In America don't thick people get scholarships in universities if they are good at certain sports?
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Maybe to a State school but not to an Ivy league school or a top University. You might get the nod over an equally good candidate because you are just as good as them at a sport.
But Princeton isn't a sports school. It is an academic school. It is where Einstein did he research when he came to the US. It is an equal to Oxford and Cambridge.

Even he hasn't bothered saying it will be good for us mind. Him, his family and america. In that order.
He'd better do the business sharpish. If we don't get at least 10 points from the next 7 games and beat Man U and Arsenal he should clearly be sacked. Precedent has been set. Seven games is the benchmark and you have to beat the top 5 to survive.

We should be grateful he hasn't thanked God.
I'm rather hoping he may give a presser later or tomorrow when he does mention the Swans.
We're out of sackings now though I think - either he works or we go down.
As I said yesterday, I hope the gamble pays off.

Football intelligence isn't the same as Ivy League education....
Fair enough, not saying it is. But what your supporters were willing to believe this twitter was real because of your unfair belief that all american are dumb.
Whether he does or does not have the football intelligence to manage your club has yet to be seen. But the fact he attended one of the top universities in the world at least says he is a smart man outside of football.

To be fair, it would only have been a small minority of our fanbase taking that twitter account seriously

I like managers with intelligence. I think it is important.
