Swansea City Football Club is yet to appoint a new manager

after the Premier League side sacked Bob Bradley last night,

The former Wales and Manchester United captain, Ryan Giggs,

and Wales' football manager, Chris Coleman are among

Despite making history when he was appointed in October,

as the first American to manage in the Premier League,

under Bob Bradley's tenure, the Swans have had a dire record.

They've won just two out of 11 games and conceded 29 goals.

After another humiliating defeat to West Ham here on Boxing Day,

fans were chanting for Bradley to be sacked with half the Premier League

In a statement, chairman Huw Jenkins said, "With the club

going through such a tough time, we have to try and find the answers

One early favourite to take over as Swansea manager

is Ryan Giggs, the former Wales and Manchester United captain,

after being interviewed for the job earlier in the season.

The question would be, then, whether Ryan Giggs wanted the job,

having...really knowing that he was second choice

That said, chances of Premier League management are few and far between.

Other names in the frame including a number of out-of-work managers,

among them, Alan Pardew, who was recently sacked

by Crystal Palace, one of the Swans' relegation rivals.

42-year-old Gary Rowett was Birmingham manager

until earlier this month but impressed many with the job he did

And Nigel Pearson, who successfully kept Leicester in the Premier League

two seasons ago, when they found themselves in similar circumstances

And then there's Wales manager Chris Coleman,

a local boy who used to play for the Swans.

His stock is high after leading Wales

It comes after a turbulent year for more than 6,000 staff employed

It was a chant that was to become familiar as steelworkers rallied

the public to back their campaign to support the industry.

Workers were faced with over 1,000 redundancies as part

of a survival plan to save Port Talbot.

It was said to be losing ?1 million a day.

People thought that when that happened, hopefully,

for the people that still had jobs, it was going to be a bit of a light

But unfortunately, it doesn't necessarily seem to have worked

To make production profitable, Tata and the unions demanded tariffs

on Chinese steel and cuts to energy costs and business rates.

But Tata's board rejected the survival plan, and put

That was like sending a tsunami through the plant.

The one thing we'd been told up until that point was, it was either

we were going to survive or we would end up closing.

Nobody expected to be put up for sale.

The UK Government agreed to taking a stake of up to 25%,

And you start worrying a little bit more.

People's opinions seem to change on a day-to-day basis,

This has been a year of twists and turns for Tata's workers,

their families and the communities that surround the sites.

And it may very well continue new into the New Year.

A look at the weather now. Here's Derek.

Most of Wales enjoyed sunshine today but not everywhere.

A few places like Newtown in Powys stayed cold and foggy.

Tonight, another widespread frost, a warning of fog for some areas,

A low of -4 near the border, less cold and cloudy

Tomorrow, fog will be slow to lift and clear.

Otherwise, some sunshine and dry but cloud will spread

For Friday, mostly cloudy, grey and misty in places.

A few spots of drizzle, and a similar story too

for New Year's Eve - sunshine in short supply,

Then it's all change on New Year's Day.

That will bring a short spell of rain followed by some sunshine

So some cold weather for the start of 2017.

Rebecca John will be back with the breakfast

As we have seen today, the weather can be a thing
