Former Swansea City boss Bob Bradley says the club's owners Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien have been swayed by a "negative atmosphere" at the club.
Bradley, 58, was sacked on Tuesday after 85 days in charge at the Swans.
"Jason and Steve are good men, they've been successful in business, but sports, football and business don't always work exactly the same way," Bradley told BBC Radio Wales.
"I think that they have still important things they must recognise and learn."
The former USA manager won just two of his 11 games in charge at the Liberty Stadium and conceded 29 goals in the process.
