    Here is an outstanding link for data regarding Le Havre FC

    http://www.transfermarkt.com/ac-le-havre/startseite/verein/738#subnavi

    1. Bradley is under contract through June.

    2. The vast majority of the players are dual nationals, France/another country.

    3. The total transfer market value of the squad is 13.5€. Second in the table, Stade Reihm has a team value of 26.3, pour example.

    4. Their most recent hardware was back in 1958-59.

    5. The average age of the team is 25, this seems a bit younger than last year.

    Sounds like the same rumours that linked JK with the England job. I'm sure with the BSA hot mess, those rumour mills are about to start spouting off again when the FA goes looking for his replacement.

    It's a bit more than that, in terms that Bob met with the Swansea people in the Bristol airport.

    The other factor that Bob has going is the team has recently been purchased by American owners, who apparently were the ones who got the ball rolling in his direction. This was a similar scenario to how he was ultimately hired ar Le Havre.

    It would be interesting to see if this progresses further. It would be practically an ideal scenario for Bob, but he assuredly would be perceived as an outsider entering the England stage.

    Sorry, do we have photos of them together? They said the same about JK meeting the FA, but that didn't happen either.

    I'm not sure anyone really said that JK met with the FA, just was "on the interview list" and " was in discussions."

    DC's owner Levine is one of the main owners. Donovan is an advisor and share holder. Conclude what you want about their seriousness with Bob.

    If swans are smart they'll continue to let Hugh Jenkins call the shots on hires. He's been pretty good over the years.

    One guy available that fits the preferred playing style is rudi Garcia. I'm not sure if he speaks English, but I'd try to find out.

    Nah, they're going for Klinsi. :rolleyes:

    Seriously, Bradley comes up whenever American managers are involved - think it's just lazy "reporting." Just like JK is coming up for everything in England right now.

    It's good that he's an option at least.

    But is he really an option? Can't trust English media.

    he's becoming a regular even for rumored possibilities. it's a step up from never being considered. helps get his name out there

    Congrats to Bob but I am pretty worried that things will go south for him. Swansea is in a difficult position. At least he has a lot of the season left.

    He probably has at least until Christmas if not maybe end of January.

    Isn't there some stat that shows players tend to pick up there performances in the first few games after a new manager is selected? He'll need it
