    Not necessarily my take but I think a lot people may be glad to see Guidolin gone but then were appalled by this appointment. Reaction thus:

    Has Brad said anything yet? any quotes in the press or pictures of him with the shirt on the Swans web site? Nothing, just more silence which I find very irritating. My club is becoming weirder and weirder.

    Well heres what the Trust think about it .

    Trust Reaction to Change in Management at Swansea City
    October 3, 2016

    16Share
    Tweet

    The Supporters’ Trust is disappointed to say that this managerial change has happened without consultation with our Supporter Director who has been unable to report back to the Trust board on the matter. We have of course been aware of the speculation thanks to the constant press reports but at no stage have we been involved in the decision to remove Francesco from his position nor in the appointment of his successor.

    Having been an integral part of the club board for 15 years we are saddened that decisions as major as this can be taken without our involvement, despite earlier assurances from the new majority shareholders that they wished to work closely with the Supporters’ Trust. These representations will be made to the shareholders of the club and our fellow directors.

    We are also frustrated and angry that the club have allowed the speculation over the manager’s future to be played out in public and want to thank Francesco and his team for their time at Swansea, in particular the professional way in which Francesco has dealt with the recent speculation. We wish them all the best for the future.

    "Bob Bradley is expected to make an immediate impact and lasting impression after being appointed as Swansea manager. Former United States boss Bradley will start at the Liberty Stadium on a contract until the end of the 2018-19 season". - Belfast Telegraph






    Go for it Bob, we are in no doubt you'll make a lasting impression.................<laugh>

    Nearly as much of a managerial non entity as Kevin Cullen. We have to ask Huw who is the real yes man now.

    I have always had a sneaking admiration for Swansea City and the way your club was developed in to a Premier League team and built a nice new stadium. Living in Canada I have had the misfortune to see many interviews with your new manager who is a clear sign that that the wheels are about to fall off the tracks. Our American cousins to the south believe they have all the answers to everything and that includes their sport of s*****, which strangely enough is very similar to our game of football. It also points to some of the downsides of foreign ownership and the revolving doors of decent managers that they think they have the right to create.

    Anyway good luck to your team and I will follow the reaction to Bob Bradley's appointment with great interest and when the entire squad is American I will get back to you. In the meantime here is one for you all to ponder.

    Q. What is a Canadian?

    A. An unarmed American with a brain and a sense of humour.

    Keep the faith.

    Visited Toronto on business many times.

    Always said that if I gone there soon after qualifying, I would probably have settled there - great country!

    Thanks Taff and I live on Vancouver Island which is my paradise. Good luck for the rest of the season and we at Bristol City should follow along your lines.

    No offence but we do have some communication problems with our resident Canuck. "Sense of humour" doesn't readily leap out at me.<laugh>

    Having lived in the States for a while I think you're being unfair but then again so are the Americans when it comes to Canadians. That said, I share your concerns over where we're headed, as do most others here I think.

    I've also heard that we are going to be renamed, wait for it! The Swansea Rapids, to be honest it's got a rather dynamic sound to it, maybe a change for the better, lets embrace it lads.............<cheers>
