It was also considered right to add three top players to a championship winning squad rather than the 6,7,8+ that other sides had done and that Malky was seen as the best young manager in the country. Now its seems to have all changed.
Maybe even you lot can now appreciate how well we have done to get promoted and finish aas high as we have whilst having managers poached and still making profit.

I personally have always praised the Swansea model, and think the way malky went about things was totally wrong. What happened to we needed 11 michus as Tan said? Malky obviously did not listen to this and went and bought a cornelius instead. Ole has already bought 2 players for under 5 mil, which is the route I think Malky should have gone, looking for cheaper talent and bought 1 expensive player (caulker) and 6-8 cheaper players that have quality like eikrem and matts. Instead he went out and bought odemwingie, cornflake, Brayford, KTC, Medel who is good but overpriced when you compare to swansea canas who was free. The gap has closed IMO but malky pissed the coin up against the wall.

Music to my ears. All the sentiments I was banned for and abused for all in one neat paragraph.

Were not Wolves, Bolton, Blackburn established premier teams ther first season the Jacks went up? Now look at them struggling in the lower leagues with one of them doing a double relegation.
