Bob Bradley's future at Swansea City is hanging by a thread after poor results

Swansea City are considering making their second managerial change of the season as pressure intensifies on Bob Bradley.

Sportsmail understands a decision to back or sack the American will be taken in the next 48 hours, with the club's US-based owners Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan deeply concerned by the form that has landed Swansea in severe relegation trouble.

The 4-1 hammering at home to West Ham United on Boxing Day meant Swansea have taken only eight points in the 11 games since Bradley's arrival from Le Havre in October.

With 19 goals conceded in the past six games, the club's supporters turned in the latest defeat, with fans calling for the first time for Bradley to be axed.

The American owners are believed to be reluctant to make a decision that would see a third manager lead the side this campaign, having already dismissed Francesco Guidolin.

But almost three months after his arrival, Bradley has offered little sign of reversing the results.

His future is now very much up in the air ahead of the weekend's crucial fixture with Bournemouth.

Bradley himself admitted that the 'Bournemouth game couldn't be bigger' and that boardroom discussions on his future were inevitable.

Those discussions are already happening and there is real doubt over whether Bradley will still be in charge by the time of Saturday's game at the Liberty Stadium.

Despite the woeful results when he took over, Bradley has retained the support of his playing staff.

But their failure to react positively to his methods at a time of the season when Swansea had winnable fixtures has proved deeply alarming.

The last three games against West Brom, Middlesbrough and West Ham have been lost to a staggering aggregate of 10-2.

The American took training as usual on Tuesday, though he remains in the dark over his future.

The episode comes amid huge uncertainty at a club that was until recently famed for its stability.

The summer takeover by Levien and Kaplan has triggered a large backlash from supporters, both towards the incoming buyers and to the local businessmen who sold shares.

Pundit John Hartson told the BBC on Monday: 'Bob Bradley, with all due respect, is a gentleman and a nice fella, but that doesn't win you football matches.

'Bob Bradley would not be anywhere near Swansea City if it wasn't owned by Americans now.

'They own 60 per cent of the club and they make the big decsions.

'They decided to bring him in. No disrespect to Bob Bradley but what does he really know about Swansea City and the Premier League? He'd probably never watched Swansea City live before.

John Hartson has slammed Swansea's American owners for recruiting manager Bradley

'The ownership and the recruitment of Bob Bradley has to take full responsibility.

'Now they are going to give him money in the window but do you trust Bob Bradley to know enough about players and who to bring in or do you rip the whole thing up and give a new manager the opportunity to spend the money available?'
