0:00:17 > 0:00:19Bob Bradley tonight.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23It follows yesterday's 4-1 home defeat to West Ham,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26which left the Swans four points adrift of safety in
0:00:26 > 0:00:27the Premier League.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Under Bradley's stewardship, the Swans conceded 29 goals,
0:00:29 > 0:00:35and won just two out of eleven games.
0:00:35 > 0:00:41Nick Palit reports.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Swansea's form here at the Liberty will be crucial
0:00:43 > 0:00:45to their chances of staying up.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47There was no Boxing Day cheer for Swans fans
0:00:47 > 0:00:49of the Liberty yesterday, it was another humiliating
0:00:49 > 0:00:52defeat for the Premiership side on a losing streak.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54The team's fans calling for the American manager,
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Bob Bradley, to be sacked.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58But, right to the end he was adamant he was going nowhere.
0:00:58 > 0:01:08I wouldn't be where I am if I wasn't resilient
0:01:08 > 0:01:11and have an ability to be stong, and carry on, so that's
0:01:11 > 0:01:12what I wanted to do.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14But, club officials had other ideas.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16And the 58-year-old, the first American ever to manage
0:01:16 > 0:01:17a Premier League side, is now history.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Since his appointment at the Liberty, in October,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21the Swans have had a dire record.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24They have won just two out of 11 games and conceded 29 goals.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26With another heavy loss here on Boxing Day, many fans
0:01:26 > 0:01:30and pundits were calling for him to be sacked immediately.
0:01:30 > 0:01:36It was a big punt, bringing him with his lack of experience
0:01:36 > 0:01:39of the players in the Premier, his lack of experience
0:01:39 > 0:01:42of our league and it was always going to be a big ask of him,
0:01:42 > 0:01:43to keep Swansea up.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46At the last match, fans were chanting they wanted Bradley out.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Some supporters say that team no longer plays with commitment
0:01:48 > 0:01:50and pride and they blame Bradley for that.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53He was a nice man, but unfortunately he didn't get the results
0:01:53 > 0:01:57that the club and the team and the fans and everyone needed.
0:01:57 > 0:02:0311 games, two wins, two draws, seven heavy defeats, it had to happen.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06The effect of that sacking on team morale may be seen
0:02:06 > 0:02:09sooner rather than later, the Swans face a home
0:02:09 > 0:02:14encounter against Bournemouth on New Year's Eve.

0:02:26 > 0:02:31Organisations representing doctors and nurses saythe figures
0:02:31 > 0:02:35the figures are "unacceptable".
0:02:35 > 0:02:37And those nurses are having to have time off.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Because they have been mentally scarred.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43That increases the bill to the National Health Service,
0:02:43 > 0:02:47so it is a wrong thing to do and I think we have got to educate
0:02:47 > 0:02:56both ourselves and the public better about de-escalation and recognise
0:02:56 > 0:02:59that people there are trying to do the best.
