    Thinking of a positive Roof - the Yanks will now have to back THEIR man, so if we are still in the sh*te come January, they will dig deep to get in new players - although hopefully not the likes of Clint Dempsey or even Landon Donovan

    My problem taff is they may have "Their " man but do they have a clue about picking "a Man '. My fear is we have gone from Jenkins steering the ship to the Americans taking the helm is we've gone from the frying pan into the fire .I couldn't care less about their "Money "they may possibly spent in January to prop up their "Man ". If we actually do drop, I will laugh uncontrollably at their losses . A bit harsh I suppose toward the club in general but toward the Americans ...to fuking bad

    I cant argue with you roof. I didn't want them here and most certainly don't want them now after seeing what they have done to the club in 5 months. If we were to get relegated which is a good possibility, I would have preferred to have gone down with local ownership and we still would have had our club.

    Yes , at least we could do damage control for the good of the club , the Americans will do damage control for the good of the Americans . Huw and the board should be horsewhipped for the position we find ourselves as they walk around with money falling from their pockets .We are suddenly in a very precarious position on and off the pitch ....From a dream to a nightmare in a very short period of time ...I'm pretty upset after being so overjoyed for a few Premier League seasons . What happened to us just keeps going around and around in me

    Thing is asset strippers usually buy big businesses that are underachieving rather than over-achieving small businesses. They've put in big money and I'm not sure we really have many assets.

    Seems like they have started, by selling Ash and Ayew and making a tidy profit on transfer dealings. I know it probably isn't that but that is the way I feel at the moment.

    It is definitely the biggest gamble we have taken thus far.

    I was just wondering why we haven't heard directly from Bradley or have I missed it.

    He's in charge of his final match in the French Second Division this evening, or so I believe!

    Ok, this just gets weirder, we have appointed him, yet he is still in charge at his present club, I still would have thought he would have come out with some sort of comment.

    Swansea City can confirm that the club has parted company with manager Francesco Guidolin.
    He will be replaced by former USA national team manager Bob Bradley with the club having agreed his release from French club Le Havre after their fixture with Sochaux tonight.
    Three members of Guidolin’s backroom team - Diego Bortoluzzi, Gabrielle Ambrosetti, Claudio Bordon - have also been released.

    Well he's the manager now, like it or not. Just have to see how it pans out, or burn the Liberty to the ground. Not sure which yet.

    Can't do that - the Ospreys play there as well, and they are owned by locals!
