    Nothing abusive or disparaging about my post whatsoever. He has been ranting and moaning about being sacked and blaming other factors and not accepting his role in it. Having an opinion on ANOTHER interview that he has just done in America claiming he was hard done by absolutely. Vilifying him I think not.

    As for reading all the other posts I dont really have the time I skim through a lot of them.

    I didn't say, or infer, that you posted anything "abusive" or " disparaging".
    He's gone now, it's time to move on, and nothing is gained by following his every utterance.
    It just keeps the pot boiling.
    I'm waiting for someone to post something along the lines of, "guess what, that bastard Bradley puts Marmite on his toast".

    <ok>

    Yes you did!! You said my post was villification. The very definition of such is abusively disparaging.
    As for following his "every utterance" I happened to be watching Sky Sports and they reported on his interview whilst I was on the this forum on my phone hence I decided to comment on it. Which also happens to be the first time I have spoken about the man since his sacking.

    I think it's Vegemite, and I like it, and Marmite. :emoticon-0100-smile

    ' Bob's Weekly Diary ' is a good idea ,but it would become a slagging, offensive vehicle, completely lacking in humour and subtlety.

    Well, my dictionary doesn't say anything about "abusively disparaging", but I am quite prepared to remove the word vilification if it offends.

    My post wasn't aimed at you in particular.

    There have been many anti Bradley comments made on this forum, and since the man is not here to defend himself, I will attempt to, the same way I did when Laudrup was being destroyed hereabouts.

    Maybe if he just accepts that he was never, ever good enough to manage at this level we'll leave him alone?

    Why would he need to do that ?

    Does that happen in the real world when people leave their posts ?

    Re his not being good enough, perhaps the players aren't good enough ?

    I don't hear them apologising.

    The bottom line is we will never know if, given time, he would have been good enough. The early evidence suggests not but I am sure there was more to Bob than manifested itself in the performances we saw.

    As the saying goes Who knows the secret of the Black Magic box

    May I suggest 2 things then
    1. Dont remove it because it offends remove it because it is incorrect
    Ihttps://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/vilify
    https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/vilify
    http://www.thefreedictionary.com/vilify
    http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/vilify


    2. If you dont want to aim a comment at one person in particular dont quote that persons opinion in your reply

    I have no problem in you being Laudrup and Bradleys self appointed defender but maybe direct that defence appropriately next time

    He's been blaming the fans for his dismissal ie the negative outside factors/influences.

    He was sacked because he was not, and never was good enough. But his ego won't allow that because this is the bloke who is as good as Guardiola and Klopp et al.

    Do you read what you post. Why don't you stand for manager. You seem to know everything about the role. <laugh>

    Well I knew more than the board with regards to Bradley's ability to manage in the PL <whistle>

    Like I said from day 1, there was a reason he was managing in the French 2nd division. He's shown that reason over the past 11 games.

    Oh, and he IS blaming the fans for getting sacked.

    I don't think there were many Jacks in Swansea that saw this Bradley appointment as a step up from Franco, matter of fact most were bewildered and gobsmacked I know I was, hence why I couldn't believe we signed Bob at the time, anyway, his clear inept coaching was a gamble that didn't pay off and will now cost us our PL status, so lets get our mindset fixed firmly on the Championship, we can look forward to renewing some old acquaintances, going to be fun, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL..............<laugh>
