Swansea City Football Club is yet to appoint a new manager | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
after the Premier League side sacked Bob Bradley last night, | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
The former Wales and Manchester United captain, Ryan Giggs, | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
and Wales' football manager, Chris Coleman are among | :00:26. | :00:26. | |
Despite making history when he was appointed in October, | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
as the first American to manage in the Premier League, | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
under Bob Bradley's tenure, the Swans have had a dire record. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
They've won just two out of 11 games and conceded 29 goals. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
After another humiliating defeat to West Ham here on Boxing Day, | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
fans were chanting for Bradley to be sacked with half the Premier League | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
In a statement, chairman Huw Jenkins said, "With the club | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
going through such a tough time, we have to try and find the answers | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
One early favourite to take over as Swansea manager | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
is Ryan Giggs, the former Wales and Manchester United captain, | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
after being interviewed for the job earlier in the season. | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
The question would be, then, whether Ryan Giggs wanted the job, | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
having...really knowing that he was second choice | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
That said, chances of Premier League management are few and far between. | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
Other names in the frame including a number of out-of-work managers, | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
among them, Alan Pardew, who was recently sacked | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
by Crystal Palace, one of the Swans' relegation rivals. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
42-year-old Gary Rowett was Birmingham manager | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
until earlier this month but impressed many with the job he did | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
And Nigel Pearson, who successfully kept Leicester in the Premier League | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
two seasons ago, when they found themselves in similar circumstances | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
And then there's Wales manager Chris Coleman, | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
a local boy who used to play for the Swans. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
His stock is high after leading Wales | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
Coaches Alan Curtis and Paul Williams will be | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
in temporary charge for the visit of Bournemouth on New Year's Eve. | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
A 47-year-old man is in a critical condition in hospital | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
after being stabbed yesterday in Hafodyrynys near Pontypool. | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
Two men in their thirties have been arrested on suspicion of attempted | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Four people working in nail bars in Wales have been arrested | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
on suspicion of immigration offences as part of a UK-wide | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
Investigators targeted more than 280 nail bars as part of the UK | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
The Government said it would identify and help potential | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
The ballot of Tata Steel-workers to decide on whether to accept | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
the company's less-generous pension scheme is expected to | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
It comes after a turbulent year for more than 6,000 staff employed | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
It was a chant that was to become familiar as steelworkers rallied | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
the public to back their campaign to support the industry. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
Workers were faced with over 1,000 redundancies as part | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
of a survival plan to save Port Talbot. | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
It was said to be losing ?1 million a day. | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
People thought that when that happened, hopefully, | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
for the people that still had jobs, it was going to be a bit of a light | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
But unfortunately, it doesn't necessarily seem to have worked | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
To make production profitable, Tata and the unions demanded tariffs | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
on Chinese steel and cuts to energy costs and business rates. | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
But Tata's board rejected the survival plan, and put | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
That was like sending a tsunami through the plant. | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
The one thing we'd been told up until that point was, it was either | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
we were going to survive or we would end up closing. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Nobody expected to be put up for sale. | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
The UK Government agreed to taking a stake of up to 25%, | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
with any interested buyer and the Prime Minister | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Seven potential buyers came forward, including Liberty Steel | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
and the management buy-out, Team Excalibur. | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
Things started to turn around as steel prices rose and the EU put | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
The company and unions set out its new plan this month - | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
?1 billion investment in Port Talbot over ten years, | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
if savings can be made in the business and a commitment | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
to keep the two blast furnaces for five years but workers must | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
vote to move from the final salary scheme to a much less | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
It sounds very positive and then you read into it a little bit more. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
And you start worrying a little bit more. | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
People's opinions seem to change on a day-to-day basis, | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
so I don't feel any more secure now than I did back in January. | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
This has been a year of twists and turns for Tata's workers, | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
their families and the communities that surround the sites. | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
And it may very well continue new into the New Year. | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
A look at the weather now. Here's Derek. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Most of Wales enjoyed sunshine today but not everywhere. | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
A few places like Newtown in Powys stayed cold and foggy. | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Tonight, another widespread frost, a warning of fog for some areas, | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
A low of -4 near the border, less cold and cloudy | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
Tomorrow, fog will be slow to lift and clear. | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
Otherwise, some sunshine and dry but cloud will spread | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
For Friday, mostly cloudy, grey and misty in places. | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
A few spots of drizzle, and a similar story too | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
for New Year's Eve - sunshine in short supply, | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Then it's all change on New Year's Day. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
That will bring a short spell of rain followed by some sunshine | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
So some cold weather for the start of 2017. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
Rebecca John will be back with the breakfast | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
But from all of us on the late team, good night. | :06:21. | :06:42. | |
As we have seen today, the weather can be a thing | :06:43. | :06:43. |
