Swansea boss Paul Clement confident job doesn't hinge on Bournemouth result

Swansea City boss Paul Clement insists his job is safe despite their poor form.

Clement is under pressure after four successive defeats left Swansea one place and three points off the bottom of the Premier League table.

"The owners are very supportive of my position here," Clement said at his press conference before Saturday's home game against Bournemouth.

"They are not happy with the performances, the chairman is not happy with the performances, neither am I, and neither are the players.

"That is what we have to focus on, getting a better performance.

"We don't know if we will get the win on Saturday because there is a lot of randomness in football.

"But what we have to do is improve our levels which have not been good enough over the last couple of weeks."

Asked if he felt that defeat would mark the end of his 10-month reign, Clement replied: "No, I don't get that impression at all.

"I see and meet the chairman every day, he is present at the training ground.

"We discuss all different matters on a daily basis and I have regular conversations with our majority owners Steve and Jason. The communication remains open and positive."
