New Swansea manager Bob Bradley has vowed to push chairman Huw Jenkins to improve the club, stating, I am not someone to sit quietly and let everybody else make decisions. Bradley is the first American to manage a Premier League team, after leaving French club Le Havre to replace the sacked Francisco Guidolin earlier this week.The former USA manager insists he has not arrived simply to keep the Welsh club in the top flight and is ready to face those sceptical about an American managing in an English division. New Swansea City manager Bob Bradley after a press conference at the Marriott Hotel, Swansea. With Swansea fourth from bottom with one win in their first seven games, Bradley told Sky Sports, Im confident I can keep the team up - but its always more than just keeping the team in the Premier League.I think the squad is strong enough, but I think there needs to be regular dialogue about how to improve the squad. Weve had early dialogue with Huw Jenkins and I appreciate his honesty and perspective. I really feel that the two of us will work well together.But he also knows Im going to challenge him. I have ideas. Im not someone to sit quietly and let everybody else make decisions. I believe in pushing the envelope a little bit and trying to challenge people for where we are, and get better.

But I also think theres talent and we need to restore some confidence and do some little things better.I do have to expect the same [treatment an Englishman would get in the NBA or NFL], but its not the first time in my career that Ive had to face skeptics. Its part of the deal. In any field theres a CV, what youve done in the past. Sometimes that helps you get the foot in the door.But then you have to earn respect. Youve got to go in every day and engage players, man-to-man, look them in the eye, challenge guys to get better. That part of the job doesnt change. Ive worked with all kinds of players - some big players - from different kinds of backgrounds and different countries.What does change is that, when you play in the top league in the world, you get punished faster, and small mistakes turn into big problems. I get all of that. Swansea suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Liverpool last weekend Guidolin, Bradleys predecessor, lost his job after a 2-1 defeat at home to Liverpool on Saturday - their third successive loss.Bradley believes small changes will make a big difference.I think it was a tough run of fixtures and a little bit of bad luck, and when things start to go against you, you lose confidence, he said. Then you lose aggressiveness and commitment a little bit.One thing Ive said to the players already is that, yes, we want to be a passing team, but when we lose the ball we need to be more difficult to play against. We need to close down a little harder, and work together to make sure the other team cant just do whatever it wants.Those are the things that top teams do well.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.

Especially after the way this year went, missing the playoffs following three straight trips to the NFC championship game and a Super Bowl near miss.Ive been thinking about it these last two weeks very hard, Gore said Tuesday in a short interview with The Associated Press. Im OK. I was just thinking about, Dang, it really can be.But I know the business of it. The organization has been great, theyve been great to me. I just want to finish strong in front of my fans. Hopefully we can get a win, and Ill see from there.San Franciscos all-time leading rusher needs 38 yards Sunday against Arizona for his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season and eighth in his 10 NFL seasons. The Niners (7-8) need to beat the Cardinals to avoid their first losing season under embattled fourth-year coach Jim Harbaugh.The University of Michigan on Tuesday posted a birthday greeting and photo of Harbaugh via Twitter as he turned 51. His alma mater is a suitor for his services, with unconfirmed reports over the past week the university has already made a six-year offer.Gore, who has voiced support of Harbaugh, finished with 158 yards against the Chargers after breaking four tackles on the 52-yard scoring run in the first quarter. Hes showing no signs of being slowed after the concussion sustained at Seattle on Dec. 14.I expect a lot out of Frank and theres not too much he does that amazes me anymore because thats just the standard hes set for himself, quarterback Colin Kaepernick said. Hes a huge asset and Im hoping hes back here. Feel a lot more comfortable with 21 in the backfield.Gore said there have been no formal discussions with the front office about what might be next. General manager Trent Baalke on Thursday acknnowledged the mutual interest to CSN Bay Area and said the 49ers hope Gore returns.ddddddddddddHopefully Ill be back, Gore said. The organization, they love me and they respect me. I want to be back, yeah, hey, I was raised here. I dont know nothing else.The running back doesnt even know who the coach will be come 2015, so that person would likely have a say. Harbaugh has kept quiet throughout the speculation about his future.I respect that. Thats hard, man, thats hard to do. He still came to work every day, worked hard and tried to win, Gore said. Hes a great coach. I just feel like its hard to come in this league and do what he did.Harbaugh has praised Gore for his handling of a difficult season and a year in which his workload has been less than what hes accustomed to or desires.Hes an unwavering professional in everything that he does. Great to be around. Loved by his teammates and coaches. Hes a joy to be around every day, Harbaugh said. Boy, hes the most or as motivated as any player Ive ever been around to play the game. I think back to 2011 when he had the ankle injury and we were playing against the Eagles. He really wasnt able to walk on it all week and then went out and rushed for over a hundred yards. Its special.At 31, when people questioned whether Gore could still run like an elite NFL back, he arrived at training camp and said he was ready to prove wrong all the critics.Now, theres some unfinished business with the 49ers before he leaves, such as turning things around again in 2015 and getting back to the Super Bowl and winning this time.Its been tough. You look at the last three years, weve been the top dogs of the NFL. This year has been very tough for us. Thats stressful, Gore said. Thats my goal. When you play this game that should be your goal. We got there and we didnt finish. I know weve got the people to do it. This year was a crazy year, too many injuries and just a lot.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFLCheap Twins JerseysWholesale Royals JerseysCheap Tigers JerseysAuthentic Indians JerseysCheap White Sox JerseysDiscount Blue Jays JerseysWholesale Rays JerseysCheap Yankees JerseysDiscount Red Sox JerseysDiscount Orioles JerseysDiscount Astros JerseysCheap Angels JerseysCheap Athletics JerseysCheap Mariners JerseysRangers Jerseys From ChinaBraves Jerseys OutletCheap Marlins JerseysWholesale Mets JerseysWholesale Phillies JerseysCheap Nationals JerseysCubs Jerseys From ChinaReds Jerseys From ChinaCheap Brewers JerseysWholesale Pirates JerseysCheap Cardinals JerseysCheap Diamondbacks JerseysAuthentic Rockies JerseysDodgers Jerseys From ChinaWholesale Padres JerseysGiants Jerseys From China ' ' '
