Swans ‘On The Beach’ – Literally

Most of the squad jetted off on a whim with the understanding that they would need to be back by 1 o’clock Wednesday to prepare for this Sunday’s clash with West Brom but also the awards dinner that took place on Wednesday evening.

Safety in the Premier League for a 7th season was secured last weekend thanks to a win over Sunderland coupled with Hull’s defeat at Crystal Palace and it was clearly a moment for celebration for the Swans players.

“They would have tried to have come back on Saturday if they could, but I told them to be back on Wednesday,” says Clement.

“I think they had a good time, almost the whole squad went. They were alright. They’ve already had one session and we have got three more.”

Was the 45-year-old former Bayern Munich assistant manager tempted to join them?

“No, not at all,” he laughs.

“Well, I couldn’t keep up with those young guys at all.

“I just said they had to be back on time, 1.30 on Wednesday and they were coming in the door right on 1.30.”
