"I don't think it’s the correct decision. "I believe in my work and I certainly knew that I was going into a difficult situation and I also understand that when you go in the clock’s already ticking, so it’s not like you’re expecting all sorts of time."Bradley then gave an interview to ESPN and he was, you guessed it, still not happy about the decision by Swansea's owners.

"When a team goes through a tough period, you need people you can count on, people who are strong, people who will stand up for the team. It takes that kind of strength to get back on track."
