People who arent happy and think we should try to emulate Swansea

Try telling that to Forest, or either Sheffield club, or Wolfs, or Leeds united, or about twenty clubs currently outside the prem. They would all wish to emulate either swansea first, or us a close second out of all those clubs of similar size (ie with a fan base of around 25k).

Swansea have been blessed with the kind of footballing miracle that happens once in twenty years, whilst our own position is almost, but not quite as miraculous. Southampton bought their way out of it and have been backed by money so I don't put them in the same category.

It is frustrating at the moment but we are progressing slowly and sustainably under our own steam with money purely generated by our own success and good management.
