The Holy Grail of the "next level" is probably already upon us, or at least we're moving towards it, but most of you are too wrapped up in your own miserable preconceived prejudices, you won't open your eyes to realise it.
The Club still isn't perfect, but which one is? The Trust still need a genuine revamp and refresh to communicate effectively to both Board and fans. The friendly game ticket prices is an example of this. But the overall picture is one of a Club getting back on track and improving. Nothing too much to shout about in isolation as the only was was up after the disaster of the last 2 years or so.
But nevertheless we're getting our act together. Off the pitch and since January, on it.
Commercially we will see the benefits, we have professionals involved, true business people with contacts who will increase revenue. Better sponsorships and business partners to be tapped into. The profile of SCFC is on the rise, more professional media interaction, website, Twitter, Facebook, more games being streamed, all on the up.
The football aspect will now follow. The U-23's had a tremendously successful season and our Academy and training facilities are now state of the art. This will only help everything we are trying to achieve.
Anyone one of us that has supported this Club back in the day, when we stop and think about things, will struggle to believe it's all actually been a true story.
We are 7 years - SEVEN YEARS - in the EPL and it's time now to quit the childish quips about "the Yanks" ; "the sell-outs" etc. What we've achieved, led by the old Board and now the new is nothing short of a miracle, it's phenomenal!! I have spent enough time voicing an angry opinion about the goings on of all concerned, but all said and done, they've done us proud.
The football squad we will take into the Premier League from now is arguably the best since we've been here.
Goalkeeper - as solid as we could hope for and Fab is Swansea's no. 1 without a shadow of a doubt. The way we accumulate GK's should mean at least one of them will be good enough to step in if he's ever injured ;-)
Defence - Been a revelation under Clement as we now defend as a team with responsibility for this aspect on every player. Naughts comes in for ridiculous stick but for me he's completely dependable. Everyone loves to scapegoat and bully somebody. Naughts gets too much of this. Cover at full back would've been great but it didn't happen and he won't let us down - same as he didn't last season. Fede and Maws have now formed a strong partnership and have enjoyed playing alongside each other for some time and are growing very strong. I love Olsson, he's as competitive as they come, the sheer determination in everything he does is infectious. We've also got ball players right along the back and we can now adapt perfectly well to a 3-5-2 with Bartley and VdH able to step in when needed. Rangel is an able deputy and Clucas can cover the left. We are solid at the back.
Midfield - We will be very strong and competitive in midfield this season. The signing of Sanches is truly unbelievable and exciting and the options we now have in this area are plentiful - off the bench too. I'm sure Clement and the Board would've loved to add another wider player but we won't be held ransom and pay massively over the odds - that's not good business. Carroll has been outstanding since coming in, Clucas has fitted in with ease and technically just what we need, these 2 will keep the ball flowing freely and accurately all around the park, with Carroll more than adept at set pieces and corners. Fer, Ki and Mesa all have genuine claims of fighting for a first XI slot and Ayew can play deeper or wide to provide options. Leon's still about as are Routs, Narsingh and Dyer so we're not having to rely on the old guard like we did last season, and these boys will still have something to offer as the season goes on, I'm sure of that. Southampton have made Europe on squads similar to ours and we can genuinely aim to look a lot higher up the league than we could this time last season, as far as up as that remains to be seen, but why not.
Up front - Bony, Tammy and Ayew is our strongest front line since the EPL without a shadow of doubt. Bony, in my opinion, is the missing piece in the jigsaw, he has the exact qualities we've been crying out for and Llorente could simply not provide. I think the 3 can play together in a 4-3-3 with Bony in the middle and Tammy and Ayew either side. It won't be Tammy's preferred option, same as it isn't for Rashford, bit it's a genuine alternative option for us.
Options are good and options we now have in abundance.
Manager - Clement has been inch perfect since he's come in and all the options mentioned above, he makes them a reality. His coaching is second to none and the team is able to adapt to any of his demands. He'll also get us playing more football this season and our style of play will be unrecognisable from the sheer tedium of last year.
Next level? We're getting there if not arrived already, so let's see it for what it is, embrace the changes and enjoy what's going to be a bloody good season of football with some outstanding talent on show.

You didn't need hindsight to know the OP was a load of bollocks. Many of us were seriously concerned about the way the club was going and we were all called doom mongers. | | | |

Yeah I know mate.
It's not going to help us now though.

Sam "sh#t club with sh#t fans" Clucas who failed to add that we sign sh#t players. Stoke fans are loving him. Robbed them of 6 million! Pity we lost 10 million | | | |

You won’t live this down. In 15-20 years time you will still be remembered as a traitorous c**t like the sellouts. You’re either too thick or arrogant or both to see it. | | | |

Haha classic
Sums the prick up and Brynmill...
Making a positive post on a football forum isn't a crime you bunch of cünts.
Having an opinion that differs with others isn't either.
I stand by everything I've ever said here especially wanting to get rid of
One Trick and Wardrobe
Them going did not relegate us. There's so much more to everything than a long ball punt upfield to try and get it close to Wardrobe.
Fack me, the one thing everyone is happy about now is our playing style has returned.
Well, that's what I was hoping for....!!
And I'm sorry, but with 60m in the bank and EARLIER than when it actually did come in because the Americans delayed and delayed and delayed, then I bet you if
Potter was manager then we'd have taken a different route than we ended up on.
Don't be afraid to have a say on a football forum, don't be afraid to not follow the herd.
A lot of you can't grasp even the basics yet post the same old drivel time after time.
Most of you were worshipping Huw Jenkins when I warned you all along he was doing very well from SCFC and would continue to do so.
I don't see those threads ever being bumped up.
A lot of you made fools of yourselves and you've been on the attack ever since.
I'll just continue to say it how I see it though if that's OK? About Potter, Jenkins, The Americans and the thicko Swans fan.
And lastly, am I still on any payroll? Who's was I on anyway, was it Jenkins or the Americans? You can't have it both ways now can you
Jack Army. | |

I don't think so pal. I've done nothing apart from support my football club of 40 years.
Now get the Fack 👠| |

Better get a new hobby then becuse every swans fan who knows what you’ve done thinks you’re a c**t. You went in to bat for the sellouts and yanks while they were destroying our club. The only question that remains is how low can you sink | | | |
| Our Football Club - Better in Every Department. Welcome to the Next Level on 11:39 - Feb 3 with 1881 views | _ |
A whole lot of Swans fans know exactly who I am and will continue to do so for many moon to come.
I will carry on saying it as I see it, on here, Twitter, Facebook and in real life.
I'm not afraid to have an opinion and I'm not afraid to share that as me, under my own name and anywhere.
What's your name? | |

I'll say this for Chrissy, anyone who thinks he'll skulk away into the shadows are miataken. He'll argue his point all day every day and I admire that about him. Face to face too, unlike a lot of people
What I don't get though, is you were against Jenkins for years. Then, when there was actual reason to round up on him, you done a complete 180 degree turn and started defending him and the Americans. I never got that. Made me question whether you just liked going against the grain tbh | | | |

This c*nt nipples is not me, I swear on my love for Swansea football club. That all I have to say. Nobody can doubt my love for the club, I wouldn't swear falsely on it. And I am genuinely swearing on it. This nipple poster isn't me. So f*ck you and Brynmill jack who keeps personally attacking me. tw@ts. | |

Thanks for clarifying. You're still a silly cùnt though. | | | |

Why is he a c*nt? He hasn’t done anything c*ntish.
I’ll tell you why - because in your small mind you have designed an alter ego who is trying to act a c*nt at a time when a lot of fans are angry.
I could well be wrong with this but it’s absolutely certain that you have form.
Either way, grow up. | |

I've answered this many a time mate but the simple answer is balance..
Our fan base was too top heavy when it came to the worshipping of him and now it's the same with the vilifying of him.
When I was having a continual pop at him it was for everything I truly believed in but most of those things pale into a certain amount of insignificance looking at our current situation, but arguably they all played a part. Ticket prices, commercial activity, Fack, for years we even had the Ospreys writing on the seats in the photo used when buying tickets. I could see that more and more of what he was doing was for themselves and the distance between them and us was growing and growing. I never liked how well they did from the club, the contracts they'd win and throughout the years some football decisions.
But looking back his record, for all his many faults stood up to all my scrutiny. He could turn around to me if he ever wanted and stick two fingers up at me and say Fack you, look what I've done with SCFC and ultimately I would have to accept that and say nothing else other than bloody thank you.
Then it all happened and I was furious with him again. My fears had come true and now he's sold out to foreigners with no attachment to our city or team. He'd got the Trust in his pocket and Sumbler watched it all happen from right under our noses, and this after repeated calls to sort Cooze out and be a pest in the SCFC boardroom and scupper plans.
I was as pissed off as anyone else
But then that became history and we have to move on.
Then when I found out that Jenkins clawed back a bit of control in the window of 2017 which ultimately kept us up another season I thought he was our best hope to keep things relative to SCFC and the city.
The rest, the managers that came and went, the panic buys, I have a sense of realism about everything.
It ain't easy being a team down the bottom trying to bring players in. Carlos said on
Deadline day how close we were to 3 players coming in but they stalled and stalled and ultimately chose against us
Ayew and Bony were willing to come and we made the hardest of decisions in the hope we could only more EPL football
Of course Recruitment could've been better but listen to all managers in similar situations to ours and they'll all say the same thing.
So my position now is a watching brief more than anything else. I am desperate for our team to succeed and I'll watch every game possible. I live and breathe this football club, ask my poor Mrs
I'm not the enemy, I'm not even misguided. I believe every single thing I've ever said, even if it doesn't read so well in the future.
Maybe Jenkins going will take away one part of the problem, maybe it will create more.
But I'll still call it as I see it and no dumb Fack on here will change that. | |

Laughing my fvcking ass off. This little cocksucker was so happy we were sold to some venture capitalists Yanks, even calling them a "miracle." I'm glad he got what he wanted 😂 [Post edited 3 Feb 2019 13:37]

The crazy thing with all this is..
He is still defending himself.
Has the audacity to call others thick.
No one is perfect but by christ, someone needs to take him to one side and have a word. [Post edited 3 Feb 2019 13:59]

Speaking of cowardly, I'll never forget how this bellend disappeared for weeks after we got relegated. The retard chatted all that shite about how much better we were going to be and how everyone else was wrong, and then he wasn't even man enough to show his face here once we went down 😂😂😂😂😂😂 [Post edited 3 Feb 2019 14:40]

Aye so cowardly I made upwards of 20 posts a day on here after relegation, including a few in this very thread.
Ferrie and my final heaven, The one and the same...
Cowardly and thick as shit. | |
