The Premier League yesterday released the details of how much each club earned as a result of playing within the richest football league in the world. The Swans will have earned just under £46 million pounds (£45,880,019 to be exact) from playing in the top flight which is a massive increase in turnover for a …
The annual Swans Awards dinner was held at the Liberty Stadium and with a crowd of over 600 people attending, the evening was a great success. All of the Swans management and playing staff attended with Chairman Huw Jenkins and his fellow board directors also present. The evening started off with the Holt Brothers (who …
In June last year I put a bet on us to avoid relegation from the Premier League. It was only a £5 and was more of an act of faith rather than confidence; a proverbial two fingers to all the people predicting we would crash and burn. When I collect my winnings they will go …
