Brad: This looks bad

- BY JAKE BACON

Championsh­ip-winning seasons and clubs... AJAX: 2002, 2004 JUVENTUS: 2005, 2006 (both later revoked due to Calciopoli scandal) INTER MILAN: 2007, 2008, 2009. BARCELONA: 2010 MILAN: 2011 PSG: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016. Zlatan is the only player to win 13 titles in four different leagues – Eredisie, Serie A, La Liga and Ligue 1. He’s the only player to score in the Champions League with six different clubs. Before this season he had only failed to play for the champions twice – in 2003 and 2012. Ajax were runners-up in 2003 and Milan were runners-up in Serie A in 2012. So fighting for fourth place is a new experience for the giant Swede. BOB BRADLEY is upset with Swansea’s American owners for suggesting his appointmen­t was a mistake.

The former Swans boss was sacked after just 85 days, with the Welsh club joint-bottom of the Premier League in December.

And in a meeting between Swansea owners Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan and the Supporters’ Trust earlier this month, they took responsibi­lity for Bradley’s tenure.

But the former USA manager fumed: “There’s a difference between saying, ‘That’s our decision’ and ‘We made a mistake’.

“I’ve had some people send me some of the articles after the Supporters’ Trust meeting where Jason and Steve say it was a mistake to hire me and that makes me angry.

“To say ‘Yes, this is our decision’, is fair, but when it’s said in a way where it comes out like, ‘Yes, we were responsibl­e for that mistake’ – does that make me angry? Of course.”

Paul Clement took over and despite being only two points adrift of safety now, results have improved.
