The Former Wales and Manchester United captain Ryan Giggs and Wales' | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
football manager Chris Coleman are among the favourites for | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
The Premier League side sacked Bob Bradley last night after just | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
Despite making history when he was appointed in October, | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
as the first American to manage in the Premier League, | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
under Bob Bradley's tenure, the Swans have had a dire record. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
They've won just two out of 11 games and conceded 29 goals. | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
After another humiliating defeat at West Ham here on Boxing Day, | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
fans were chanting for Bradley to be sacked with half the Premier League | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
Last night, these Swans did just that. | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
In a statement, chairman Huw Jenkins said, "With the club | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
going through such a tough time, we have to try and find the answers | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
Bradley himself believes the contention over | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
owners took over control of the club, angering | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
some supporters, didn't help his situation. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
The way things were done left a bad taste in that regard. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
I knew I was going to be caught between a rock | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
and a hard place but in life, you've got to be willing to take | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
At the Liberty Stadium fans' shop, there was approval for his sacking. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
I think they've done the right thing. | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
You know, although he's a nice guy, I think he | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
He didn't know enough about football in this country, I don't think. | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
One early favourite to take over as Swansea manager | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
is Ryan Giggs, the former Wales and Manchester United captain, | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
after being interviewed for the job earlier in the season. | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
The question would be, then, whether Ryan Giggs wanted the job, | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
having already known that he was second choice | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
That said, chances of Premier League management are few and far between. | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
Other names in the frame including a number of out of work managers, | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
among them, Alan Pardew, who was recently sacked | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
by Crystal Palace, one of the Swans relegation rivals. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
42-year-old Gary Rowett was Birmingham manager | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
until earlier this month but impressed many with the job he did | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
And Nigel Pearson, who successfully kept Leicester in the Premier League | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
two seasons ago, when they found themselves in similar circumstances | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
And then there's Wales manager Chris Coleman, | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
a local boy who used to play for the Swans. | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
His stock is high after leading Wales | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
Whoever takes over the Liberty Stadium will inherit a side | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
the worst defence in a Premier League and only one off | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
the bottom of the table on goal difference. | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
You've got to replace quality with quality and don't | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
So the next manager who comes in, a January when it's going to be | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
absolutely crucial to them to staying up. | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
Coaches Alan Curtis and Paul Williams will be | :03:08. | :03:08. | |
in temporary charge for the visit to Bournemouth on New Year's Eve. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
And you can have your say about Swansea City with a special | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
Call Rob Phillips programme on BBC Radio Wales at 6.30pm. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
A 47-year-old man is in a critical condition in hospital | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
after being stabbed in the early hours of yesterday morning. | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
The incident happened in Hafodyrynys near Pontypool. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
Two men, aged 35 and 32, have been arrested on suspicion | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
Four people working in nail bars in Wales have been arrested | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
on suspicion of immigration offences as part of a UK-wide | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
Investigators targeted more than 280 nail bars. | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
The UK Government said it would identify and help potential | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
The ballot of Tata steelworkers to decide on whether to accept | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
the company's less generous pension scheme is expected to | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
It comes after a turbulent year for more than 6,000 staff employed | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
It was a chance that was to become familiar | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
public to back their campaign to support the industry. | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
Workers were faced with overwhelming thousands | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
redundancies as part of a survival plan to save Port Talbot. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
It is sad to be losing when million pounds a | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
People thought that found that happened, | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
that hopefully, for the | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
people that still had jobs, it was going to be | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
a bit of a light at the | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
But unfortunately, it doesn't necessarily seem to work out quite | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
To make production profitable, Tata and the unions | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
demanded tariffs on Chinese steel and cuts to energy costs and | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
But Tata's board rejected the survival plan, and put | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
That was like sending a tsunami through the plant. | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
The one thing we've been told up until that point | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
was, it was either we were going to survive or we were going to end up | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Nobody expected to be put up for sale. | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
The UK Government agreed to take in a stake of up to | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
25%, with any interested buyer and the Prime Minister visited Port | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Seven potential buyers came forward, including | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
Liberty Steel and the management buyer, team Excalibur. | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
Things started to turn around as steel | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
prices rose and the EU put tariffs on some cheap imports. | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
The company and unions set out its new plan this month. | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
One billion pound investment in pod style but over ten years, if savings | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
can be made in the business and a commitment to keep the tube blast | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
furnaces for five years but workers missed votes to move from the final | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
furnaces for five years but workers must votes to move from the final | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
salary scheme to a much less generous when in return. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
It sounds very positive and you start worrying a little bit more. | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
And then things get changed. People's opinions seem to change on | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
a day-to-day basis, so I don't feel any more secure now than I did back | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
in January. This has been a year of twists and turns for Tata's workers, | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
their families and the communities that surround the sites. And it may | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
very well compare new into the New Year. -- continue. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
Let's take a look at the weather forecast now. | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
Watch out for Jack Frost tonight. Some places stayed cold and foggy | :06:27. | :06:42. | |
today. This picture was taken in a new town by Paul Wellens. It was | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
gorgeous and dour today. That clear sky | :06:51. | :06:50. | |
Tonight, another widespread frost with icy roads and pavements. | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
Fog patches will become more widespread as well. | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
The Met Office has issued a warning covering counties from Denbighshire | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
Lowest temperatures, -4 near the border. | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
Parts of the west cloudy and mild, 7C in Milford Haven. | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
Tomorrow morning, another frosty and icy start in places, | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
Away from the fog, some sunshine but cloud will spread | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Top temperatures only 4C in Rhayader, up to 10C on Anglesey | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
Tomorrow night, plenty of cloud which means less fog and frost. | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
Spots of drizzle, otherwise dry and feeling milder | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
New Year's Eve on Saturday mostly cloudy and mild, | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
damp in places, too - otherwise dry. | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
A cold front will move south bringing a short spell of rain. | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
Behind it, clearer, colder air, some sunshine and one or two showers. | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
So some cold weather from the start of 2017. | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
We'll be back with another update at around 10.20pm, but until then, | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
from all of us on the programme, have a good evening. | :08:01. | :08:02. |
