Bradley took over at Swansea in October following the dismissalof Francesco Guidolin, but he struggled to adapt to the tough nature of the Premier League and leaves the Welsh club 19th in the league.


Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins revealed he made the decision to sack Bradley in an attempt to save the Swans from relegation but Bradley has blasted d the club's hierarchyfor not giving him enough time to turn things around.


I'm a little bit pissed off this morning,� Bradley told talkSPORT host Jim White.


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.

The discussions we had always included the work that needed to be done in January - we had talked about players.


I'm frustrated because I feel like every place I've been, I've been able to put my stamp on the team in terms of the mentality and the tactics."


Bradley continued: I knew when I arrived at Swansea I knew the most difficult thing was just to secure points, and that any new football ideas needed to be introduced very gradually.


What we needed more than anything was just to do well enough to give us a platform¦and I'm disappointed in myself that in the short run I couldn't make that happen.

Feel sorry for Bob Bradley. Not really sure what he was meant to do. Inherited another manager's players and never got a transfer window.

I think they [the club board] need to realise that the work was good and even though the results haven't been what we would have wanted, turning around a team at the bottom of the table and low on confidence is one of the most difficult things you can do as a manager.


I knew when I came that I had to prove myself and I'm disappointed that in the short run we couldn't do that, but it's football and I don't make excuses.


In the whole time that I've been here I have never made excuses, I've never thrown a player under the bus - I've taken responsibility because I believe that's how you lead.I hope that somewhere along the line I can find another opportunity to challenge myself and keep moving forward.�


Wales manager Chris Coleman and former Birmingham City boss Gary Rowett are believed to be two of the men Swansea are keen on interviewing as they look to replace Bradley.

26 - Since Bob Bradley took charge of his first Swansea game, the Swans have conceded more goals than any other Premier League side. Leaky.
