Next Swansea manager: US owners want Bob Bradley to be considered but Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs remains first choice
New American owners want former US coach to be on shortlist to take over from Francesco Guidolin
SWANSEA’S new American backers want to talk to former United States coach Bob Bradley about becoming their new boss.
The Yanks are keen for Bradley to be considered for the post as Francesco Guidolin struggles and the Welsh outfit search for a replacement.
Ryan Giggs is top of the wanted list drawn up by Swansea supremo Huw Jenkins, but the Americans insist that Bradley should be a contender.
Bradley, 58, is currently coach at French Second Division side Le Havre but is best known for a six-year spell with the United States national team.
And that means a lot to the American investors Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan who have pumped cash into the club.
Giggs's lack of experience as a manager is a nagging concern for the Americans and even bringing in a sidekick like Phil Neville leaves that doubt.
Bradley has never worked in England either but has a long CV. He could also involve former Everton player Landon Donovan in a management team.
Donovan, a key player for Bradley at international level, is advising Swansea and could become even more part of the scene. |  |

I must say his win rate is impressive. Albeit not much domestic top league experience. |  | | |

I don't think Jenkins ever wanted Guidolin to stay on. The fans and the rest of the board wanted him to have a chance, but I reckon Huw was sceptical and has been itching to get rid at the slightest bit of trouble. I remember thinking his body language seemed uneasy when talking about him in one of the interviews following the 2 year contract.
Now we have a situation where they want a manager lined up just in case Guidolin gets the sack because they don't want the fiasco that followed Monk's departure. |  | | |

Talking of body language who was the guy behind Guidolin when Llorente scored the equalizer ? It's at about 17.00 minutes on MOD I-player. He didn't look exactly overjoyed! |  |

I don't know his name but I remember thinking it was odd. Maybe it was a sign of relief? | | | |

Quite possibly. Funny reaction though. | |

WOL are doing their best. On a relatively quiet rumour day they keep the pot boiling by running a poll to see who will be best to replace Frankie. Boo Radley or Mr Charisma. Bunch of sh!ts doing their best to destabilise us. Welsh media my ass. |  |

Giggs currently leading the race, ahead of Boo Radley and then Guido.
Although I do like this comment at the bottom:
Which would be better as a journalist and human being Paul Abbandonato or pound of lard? But what else would w expect from WoL?

I did not realise they had Frankie in the poll as well. All the more disgusting. Headlines tomorrow stating Swansea fans want Giggs as manager after exclusive poll. Ignoring the fact that most of the Welsh public outside of the SE completely ignore the Welsh media. They truly are the enemy of our club. Their Cardiff agenda stinks! | |

He is the media darling. Top flight clubs in the know have not touched him with a bargepole however. With very good reason I would say. | |

The septic might be better than the Giggler though. At least he's managed some actual players as an actual proper manager. |  |

I'd rather have Boo Radley. At least he has proven he can get the best out of a bad job. Giggs however has done nothing other than watch a couple of plums screw up the man u gig. | | | |

Giggs' representative is Rhodri Burgess. He used to be VP of Wassermann group before he set up his own gig. Link to D.C. Utd . Bradley could be a red herring - Bristol Airport etc. Spin - we get Giggs - could have been worse.

If Bob Bradley is in the frame, I'm slightly surprised that I can't see anything coming out from Le Havre or French press | | | |

Frankie is now at 55% despite their scummer readership voting for Giggs. I would suggest we play ball with Cardiif On Line and vote for Frankie to ensure their little attempt to destabilise back fires on them.
Just look at he headline: 'Who would you prefer'......then they only give two options before shoving Frankie into the poll later on in the article. Doubly annoying as Paul Aberfarto is penning it. | |

In my long forgotten schoolboy French, aren't they just quoting the BBC?

Th Sun have now swapped towards Giggs...
SECRET SWANS CHAT Ryan Giggs to Swansea: Manchester United legend holds top secret talks with Swans to become their new boss
Welsh club keen on Louis van Gaal's former assistant as investors search for Francesco Guidolin's replacement
RYAN GIGGS has had a top secret meeting with Swansea City about becoming their new boss.
The Welsh legend sat down to talk to the club’s new American investors plus chairman Hue Jenkins in a London hotel.
Giggs is keen on the post but has to convince the money men from the States that he has the experience needed.
Jenkins has also seen former United States national coach Bob Bradley on the recommendation of the American backers a few days ago.
Veteran Italian Francesco Guidolin will be replaced when the two groups decide who to go for to take charge, probably this week.
One time Manchester United hero Giggs would be a popular choice and has Jenkins’s support. But Bradley, currently working in France, also has appeal.
Other candidates are in the frame too in case a compromise is needed. Gianfranco Zola and Paul Clement are possibles. [Post edited 1 Oct 2016 10:34]
