    Let's hope the owners learn lessons from this season's mistakes & "flirtation" with relegation.

    We need to back Clement in the transfer window and build upon his "success" in the second half of the season!

    Next week we can go to The Liberty & enjoy ourselves.

    Think I will dress up as Steve McQueen from The Great Escape!

    Congrats.

    <applause>

    Hope this doesnt mean you're going to welsh (pun intended) on our agreement to take Siggi off your hands.

    Taff agree, Just hope that the owners back Clement and allow him to pick the players he feels he needs to get us going next season. Rather than Jenkins picking his usual ****ing rubbish. I hope they back him financially sufficiently to strengthen in the areas required. Clement will keep us up inthis league if he is backed by them upstairs.

    Hope we can end the season in style next week - we could end with 41 points and 15th place - would have bet on that at Christmas!

    I wonder what the reception towards Judas will be next week now that we are safe?

    We've got away with it this season, sign 4-5 players of real quality and we can target top 10 next season. Signing quality will be key to keeping Gylfi.

    I agree, I for one think Jenkins still has a lot to answer for, despite his incompetence we somehow managed to stay up. Now he needs to get his ****ing big nose out of it and leave Clement and his scouting staff decide what he needs. Then hope the Yanks back him. then I agree a top 10 is possible.

    Seriously, what do you think is the likelihood of Jenkins backing Clements?

    Got to work out which 3 teams could be below us next season.

    Very happy for you guys. Well done and thoroughly deserved at the end of the day. Just think 3 more wins and you could have been 8th! How tight is that second tier of the PL. To think West Brom are closer to you in terms of points than to the team immediately above them.

    The dream would be Arsenal. Manchester United and the Real Chavs (West Ham United) The reality it will be at least one of this season's promoted teams from the Championship and anyone who finished 8th downwards in this season's PL as all are much of a muchness and I don't see a huge difference nor expect anything different from 8th down except a shuffling of the pack.

    I still think we will be shopping in Poundland and I just worry that after the Yanks have taken their chunk for their bank accounts there wont be much left to spend on the squad. I hope they prove me wrong and they realise after this that there is relegation in English football and we are not a franchise.

    I hope you are right TLF - hopefully they will have seen the warning signs of what happens if you get it wrong

    Personally, I suspect that the Yanks really believed that the venom directed at "The Sellouts" was solely because of our perilous position in the PL.

    Now that we are safe & will be playing PL next season, the Yanks may sit up and take heed if The Liberty crowd were to rise up against Jinx & Co next weekend and chant again "Get out of our Club".......

    Bet Dutch John will be happy that he can continue to sell his PL weekends in Swansea to his fellow countrymen. Wonder how he still gets allocations of 20? 30? tickets per match?

    Taff I hope they have learnt, but I still believe their bank balance is so much more important to them. Having got away with it this year I wonder whether they feel they can cut corners again and still get away with it. Because we have stayed up they will be saved the fans ire, but that can soon change if they do us again.

    Ooooh, that's not nice. I know you feel let down this season but I would still think of Swansea as a Club. But other than Swansea who else?

    :p

    TLF - the first thing the Yanks will try and do is complete the deal with the Council to get control of the Stadium. In reality, the first thing should be to sit down with PC and agree what changes need to be made to the squad - releasing/selling those not required & then agreeing a Transfer Kitty to secure the services of the players that PC - not Huw - wants to recruit.

    They should try and do their transfer business early so that PC can have a full pre-season with the squad
