11 games, 15 goals scored, 29 goals given, eight points gained. There are very few managers, if any, who could keep their job with such a horrendous record. Today, we learned Bob Bradley is not one of them, as Swansea fired him after just 85 days in charge.During that time, we didn't learn a lot about Bradley or Swansea. We knew Bradley was coming into a tough spot, taking over for a team with very little talent or wiggle room in the table. We also knew Bradley is not a fantastic manager. He has had varying degrees of success at varying levels of the game. He had to prove he belonged. He didn't.But, it would be insane to say the last 11 games are a condemnation of Bradley's managerial abilities. He took over a terrible team. He had less than three months with a relegation-zone side and zero transfer windows to prove himself. It was hardly a fair shot.Bradley's final game against West Ham summed up his predicament. For the first half, Swansea were the better side. They controlled possession, moved the ball more effectively, and got into more dangerous positions. They flubbed their chances. Meanwhile, West Ham scored their first two goals on set pieces: the first a result of a horrible gaffe by keeper Lukasz Fabianski, the second when Winston Reid inexplicably won a header between three well-positioned defenders. Neither of those goals can be pinned on Bradley. He was, I would argue, the better manager on the day. For whatever reason, his players just didn't execute. And now he's looking for a job.Despite the predictably miserable situation, Bradley had to take the gig. At 58 years old, coming from a second division French side, he couldn't assume he would get another chance to manage in the Premier League. If he turned it down, he would have had to be at peace with the very real possibility that he would never get another shot. You can't blame him for taking it.Instead, the blame for this fiasco lies squarely on the decision-makers at Swansea who hired him. Bradley's style of solid defending and controlled counters was a harsh departure from Swansea's positive, attacking ethos. They either needed to give Bradley time to mold a squad to fit his sensibilities, or not hire him at all. Instead, Swansea wasted 11 games of a relegation battle season to give a manager a trial run. Now, a new manager will have 20 games to do what Bradley couldn't. He may have fewer.
