​Sunderland boss Moyes urges struggling Swansea to stick with Bradley

Sunderland boss David Moyes feels those in charge at Swansea should either stick with new manager Bob Bradley or look at their own performance in appointing coaches.

The American has only secured five points from seven matches at the Liberty Stadium, with his side bottom of the table, making him favourite to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked.

"To keep changing your manager tells me that the people who are choosing the manager are getting it wrong," he said. "So they have to make sure that they look at the people at the top first before they look at the manager because he has only been in for a certain amount of time.

"If that's the case it shouldn't be Bob Bradley that loses his job, it should be the person who employed Bob Bradley that should lose his job - he has only been in the job six weeks. If they are changing their identity it'll be because of the decisions they are making at the top.

"It would have been a tough introduction for anybody who went to take the job at Swansea, just like anyone who came to take the job at Sunderland because the clubs we are at at the moment we don't all have the best squads, we don't all have the best players.

"It takes a long time, to get your own ideas across, to get to know the players, to get to know the squad, what players work for you and what don't. It takes time. Bob Bradley should be given plenty of time to show that he can do that."
