There's a few points that you need to be aware of -
1. It's not soccer, it's football
2. All Americans are yanks, whatever part of the US you live.
3. The hostility to our new owners - these yanks couldn't care less about Swansea, they couldn't even care less about football. They only care about profit. And every penny that the slimeballs pocket is a penny less that could have been spent on strengthening the team. And although they've bought the club they've not invested a penny in the club.
4. The hostility towards Bucket Bob - we've got a manager that would never even have been on any other club's radar. If he wasn't a yank he would never have been considered here either. He may work out, but we don't know that yet. What we do know is that many excellent European managers have been ignored/excluded from any shortlist simply because they weren't american enough.
So as far as I'm concerned, you can stick your old glory up your arse (sorry, ass).

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. | | | |

Here's how a meeting with the supporters trust would have went:
Owners: Hey the team is playing like sh1t, we're already in a relegation battle, the team has no consistent identity week to week and players are disrespecting the manager when being subbed off. We're going to replace him with Bob Bradley.
Trust: No!
Owners: Well, we own the team so we're going to do it anyway. |
You're assuming a meeting happened. It didn't. |  |

This could be an absolute PR disaster for these soppy tw@ts. One of the first things American fans are going to do is come on here or scfc2 and think we are a bunch of insular xenophobes. If having their country ridiculed every other thread isn't enough to put them off for good, I don't know what would be.
Bob better hit the ground running, it's not going to get any better unless we are picking up points | | | |

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. | | | |

Bob is a pawn in all of this. The real vitriol is for our board, past and present, for allowing this whole situation (the takeover, the shutting out of the trust, the abysmal transfer window, Bob, whatever is next...), to happen.
If I was in his shoes, I'd have done it too | | | |

The issue of his nationality is only due to the fact those who employed him have done so because they are of the same nationality.
Our gripe is his relvent experience and past history and ability to do this job at this level.
Had he been European, South American or form Mars he would not have been considered suitably "qualified" for interview due to the level he has managed at.....albeit a spell at international level whihc is so diferent to working at a club level...ask the likes of Coleman | |

Ignoring your ridiculous language for points 1 &2, answer me this, Donald
3. Explain why the yanks bought our club then if not for their profit.
4. We don't have a problem because he's American, we have a problem because he has no experience of the Prem or any other European 1st division. Our wonderful new owners wouldn't have looked at him twice if he had the same lack of experience but wasn't American. And he keeps saying he's on a par with Klopp and Guardiola, but he's 57ish and his best league management is French Div 2. Ffs.
Over to you. | | | |

1. It is indeed, but the word soccer was first coined in England, so its their fault and not ours.
2. Which is an interesting view. In America, Yanks is considered a putdown for someone from the North.part of the country. We use Yankee, but same thing.
3. Been following the club since 2010. You don't have to explain to me Welsh feelings on the new owners. I know the history, and have seen Jack to a King. I'm as angry as you about the so called transfer dealings of the club last summer.
4. To be fair to Bradley, he's been on the short list for fore than a few Premier League Jobs. Hull was the last to take a look at him.
Did the new owners force this hire? Who knows. The few reputable Journalists we have in the states have said that Huw Jenkins was the one who turned down a couple of the European coaches immediately, and made a final decision based on Bradley vs Gigs. They could be completely getting this story fed to them from Kaplan and Levien, but we can't say that for sure.
We've got enough problems over here (See Race Riots/2016 Election of Idiots...err President) to show too much national; pride right now. The reasonable of us are acutely aware that the rest of the world is laughing at us right now. | | | |

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. | | | |
