The Swans saw their ownership structure change last summer leaving Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan with a majority share and James has criticised them for not making a sound or backing the man that he believes was solely their appointment.
Speaking to BBC Wales Sport, James was hugely critical not just of the Americans but also Chairman Huw Jenkins and Chief Operating Officer Chris Pearlman both of whom he believes are equally to blame for the position that the Swans find themselves in.
“They haven’t said a word. The chief executive [Chris Pearlman], he’s not said a word,” said James.
“The three Americans, you don’t hear from them. Why?”
James was defensive of Bradley who lost his job on Tuesday after just 85 days and 11 matches in charge
“He is an honourable man left high and dry to answer every question that has been put to him,” he told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
“I would ask a serious question to the two owners and the chief executive – where have you been in support of your manager?
“Because you’ve been deafening with their silence and that’s what frightens me most of all.
“Never once in the difficult 11 games that Bob’s had, never once has any of those people actually come out and supported Bob.
“I can’t remember a comment by any of the three of them.
“He’s their man, obviously, because nobody thought about him before he came in.”
