The Swansea City Chairman was talking as the clock ticked towards their Premier League debut on August 13 against Manchester City.<\/p>\n
Speaking via the club's official website, Jenkins said "It's never easy for teams who end up in the play-offs, and especially play-off finals, because of the preparation time that is lost. <\/p>\n
"The other clubs who won promotion from the Championship with us last season have been preparing for the Premier League since somewhere around the last week of April.<\/p>\n
"But our season did not finish until the end of May and after that you have to allow everyone — whether it's players, staff or management — to have a break.<\/p>\n
"We are probably a bit behind everyone else, but we are starting to get down to business now.<\/p>\n
"We are refocusing and starting to get things organised for next season.<\/p>\n
"We have a bit of catching up to do, but we are confident we will manage it. We are ready to get things moving again now.<\/p>\n
"We are on top of every situation we are involved in, and we will go about our business with the best interests of our football club in mind," said the chairman.<\/p>\n
"The uncertainty of whether you will win promotion or not sometimes causes some difficulty in pursuing new players.<\/p>\n
"But I'd like to let our loyal supporters know that we are working very hard at the club in order to bring the right players to Swansea City.<\/p>\n
"I think supporters can really look forward to a massive season. The club has made huge strides in the past few years, and we aim to continue that.<\/p>\n
"We are the first Welsh club to reach the Premier League and, with our style of football, we can hopefully continue our development as a club.<\/p>\n
"We have also broken our club transfer record to sign Danny Graham, and are working towards adding further quality to this squad.<\/p>\n
"So it's a hugely exciting time for the club and for our supporters.<\/p>\n
"We are very excited about being a part of the Premier League and we are keen to make our mark.<\/p>\n
"We are confident we will be ready for the challenge ahead."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
