Awww you think I am a Trump supporter don't you. I am not. I am a staunch liberal and a proud american. And let me remind you, you guys actually voted for a policy just as stupid and silly as anything to come out of Donald's mouth. On this day, Trump is WAY behind in the polls. We are not so easily swayed by stupidity I guess.
3. I think they bought it because they love Soccer and want to have a team in one of the biggest leagues in the world. Swansea has zero chance of getting any traction in the states. It won't happen unless you guys sign a guy like Christian Pulisic, which you can't afford. I honestly believe they love the game and jumped at the chance to own a historic club like yours. They obviously don't want to lose money and the fact is and the only way you they are going to do that is with success on the field. If you guys go down it is a disaster of an investment.
4. You are not wrong about it other than he was the manager of a very fine USA team. On club level sure, he is lacking, but sometimes a gamble. There is a tendency I have seen in English sports to never take chances with managers and stay conservative. There is a tendency in American sports to give an outsider a chance. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but maybe you guys should give the guy a chance first. |

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. |

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. |

I am an American and a Celtic supporter. I have no plans of every supporting the Swans.
However I follow our national team very closely and wanted to see what the views on Bob were. To be honest, it seems like most of you don't like him because he is a Yank, not because of his coaching. From an American perspective, he would drive me crazy because of how conservative his style was. However, he did get the boys playing well above their abilities. We won our group in the 2010 world cup (with england in it).
Bob won't win you the league, but that wasn't going to happen anyway. But he will keep you about mid table and may surprise you with better.
Good luck. |

1. F-off, we will call it whatever the hell we want to. Tw@t.
2. Fine. But you are a bunch of lime sucking, xenophobic, dead empire, queens penis sucking baststards.
3. Ahh yeah, lets make a million and buy a provincial Welsh club! That will make us rich!
4. Fair enough, but lets face it, your biggest problem is he is an American.
As far as I am concerned, the Welsh are jealous of the Americans because we had the bravery to be free.
But go ahead and bow to to her majesty. |

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. |
