Buying Fairwood falls into line with what was mentioned some weeks back about the 18's and 21's moving from Landore and being integrated with the first team training at Landore, while the younger age group teams remain at Landore. Having said that, Fairwood as a playing complex has been in...

Improving the calibre of player recruited - higher wages Increasing the infrastructure for re-academy upgrade, possible move towards Cat 1 Increasing the amount of hospitality on offer on matchday. Renting out hotels / restaurants in the city

The position of the Swansea.com stadium is possibly in the wrong place and thank goodness the stadium wasn’t built on the old steelworks site at Velindre as there would be a huge drop of fans lost to the game if that area had been chosen. Having said that there is very little available sites in...

The main point in your reply is that if you link a generation to every 20 years you can see that from 1960 to present day approximately 4 generations have grown up to either follow or walk away to other interests, all through a combination of lack of finance at the club, no direction in the...

As much as accuracy can be gained from comparing the sizes of both cities – Norwich and Swansea, for me as far as football support is concerned the true comparison can only be seen when you look at both club’s playing history – what divisions they played in, especially from the period of post...

Based on the twelve years Tisdale was at Exeter he was much sought after and after joining MK Dons gained automatic promotion to League 1. After leaving the Dons following a bad run, he was at Bristol Rovers just three months after signing a two and half years contract. Following an advisory...

Paul Tisdale isn't a poor manager, he just stayed at Exeter too long. He was good enough for Huw Jenkins to try to get twice as our manager.

Regarding Dan's move to Man United, chairman at the time Trevor Birch, whatever fee was negotiated(£18M) it was paid in one instalment.

Progress for me will be a comfortable place in the top ten, where through continued, positive recruitment we can build the squad into a more formidable outfit. Having said that should we end the season in a Play Off place this season, naturally we would take it over two legs and on the day it...

The position of striker can be seen as the most difficult position in a team to obtain especially when finance is limited and almost every club is looking through the same data sheets, while as the window begins to close down the transfer fee, even for a loan player, begins to start rising. To...

No doubt about the fact that we are on the verge of having a team that will possess the intensity to compete for the full duration of a game. Add a goalscoring striker to the squad and cover for our full backs plus the Forest midfielder's signing being announced and we should have our strongest...

Photos taken from John Burgum's excellent book covering the first 75 years of the Swans from 1912 to Terry Yorath's Play Off Victory.

The Bournemouth defender didn't as much handle the ball, he actually attempted to deflect the ball, a deliberate act.

I find it totally unacceptable, especially with the cash involved in the Premier League that the fourth official in last night's Liverpool match was the same guy (Farai Hallam) who refereed the Boro v Swans match in what was his second season of refereeing in the EFL Championship level. Talk...

All I will say is that if it happened in the EFL there would have been a red card issued.
