Bendonkey is a big get for them.

Agree - and also helps that they are a very cool club. American football cheerleaders, loud music, rowdy fan base, etc....a lot of fun to watch them pre-match.

I'm shocked at how poorly West Ham has come out, and how poorly their new stadium is being received. Still time to turn it around, but don't think anyone expected them to be where they are at the outset.

i had palace getting religated. Pardew sticks around just long enough to get the worst out of his players.

I'm also shocked how bad West Ham has come out, especially with the money they spent during the transfer.

what about some love for my Everton selection??!?!?!?!

If Swansea finish 17th then Bradley was the right decision.

The problem is most of the fans (as far as I can tell) wanted Giggs.

Last season with Liverpool was brutal and they made a similar move. Albeit with a far more proven manager. Was still tough to watch.

that was the majority of the people in Wales.
Even if he was a great player, hard to bring a guy like him, with no head coaching experience and say here, wer're in 17th, dig us out of this hole. He's either the GOAT or gone before the season ends.

Interested to see what bradley does, but the owners need to start spending some F;ing money. I saw an article that 3 teams actually MADE money during last transfer, and the Swans were one of them (everton and southhampton were the others).

Southampton needs to win today.

West Ham being West Ham - Spurs remain unbeaten.

And what the hell has happened to Swansea City this season? Can't blame this all on Bradley - They're on dangerous ground.

You can't sell your best players every year. If they are not buyers in January, relegation is a serious possibility..

they give up the tie in the 90th minute after just being bombarded the entire 2nd half. They have one of the worst back lines in the EPL, which is a result of selling their captain, Ashley Williams to Everton during the transfer.

During the transfer they throw a whole bunch of cash in getting two Spanish forwards/strikers.....WHO THEY DON'T EVEN START! The same transfer in which they were one of 3 teams to actually MAKE money. The American's (Levin, etc.) were supposed to hit the ground running and be spending money, they're the ones who got all the fans all riled up with their deep pockets talk, but when push came to shove, they kept the money instead of spending. This team at one point and time was owned by a community or town trust, and now they're in the hands of Corporate Americans, and look at the results.

Also, you got guys like Ki just going through the motions but he finds his way on the field every week. Fernandez and Rangel shouldn't be playing EPL futbol period, but they're back line regulars.

time will tell, if they're not one of the most active teams during the transfer then mgt is content with relegation, which will cost them millions on EPL TV revenue. At the end of the day, you have to spend money to make money.
