Axed Bob Bradley was mocked by members of the Swansea squad during the closing stages of his ill-fated managerial reign.
Swansea sources have told Sportsmail that American coach Bradley was privately given the nickname 'Ronald Reagan' by several members of his staff, with the inference that the now sacked boss was old-fashioned in his approach on the training ground.
Reagan, who died in 2004, was an ex-US president who served in the 1980s.
Last week Sportsmail revealed how Bradley was fighting to win over a number of his players, who felt his training methods were archaic.
