Swansea never spent any money when they went through the leagues. Andre Ayew and Wilfred Bony were local lads who paid their subs each week and grew up with posters of Roger Freestone on the wall.
In response to the outburst by some Wrexham fans today marking themselves as better than Swansea City. And attempting some sort of fan rivalry.
THIS IS OUR RESPONSE.
When you win a major trophy after beating the holders and European champions on route, when you qualify for Europe the hard way through the premier league, when you supply more Welsh internationals than any other city in Wales, when you make Europe stand up and listen, when your managers move on to coach in the Euros and World Cup, when both ex managers are now in charge of the two biggest clubs in Scotland, when you appoint a manager who has played for Juve, Real Madrid, Barca, Lazio and Ajax who won over 100 caps for his country, when you supply players in internationals to Holland, Iceland, Argentina, Spain and England, when you beat the biggest clubs in the premier league on their own doorsteps more than once, when you complete seven years in the premier league playing 266 games, when you supply academy players for the international side who make up half of a starting eleven including current players, when you sell a player for 45 plus million pounds, when you have an internationally recognised head goalkeeping coach in the England and now Wales set up, when you attract an investor recognised as the best player in the world a Ballon d'Or winner and three successive champions league titles, when your next investor has sold 35 million albums worldwide and is the most recognisable face in rap music, and there’s loads more, then maybe your chip on your shoulder will fall off. You are not our rivals, you will never be our rivals and being on Disney + for plastic Americans to get a hard on about means nothing.
To even compare yourselves with Swansea City is hilarious. Stick to your local derby against Chester and all the wonderful memories you must have. Buying success means nothing, do it the hard way and maybe you will get some respect.
@sonictheswans@HPJSCFC Define “the right way”, because according to you, Wrexham spending money they’re generating to go up the league is the wrong way, but Swansea spending money they’re generated to go up the leagues was the right way. You’re a hypocrite, and now it’s our turn you don’t like it.
@sonictheswans@HPJSCFC “sWaNsEa DiD iT tHe RiGhT wAy”
Yeah Trundle dropped down from L1 to L2 for the love of the game didn’t he. Knight, Pratley, Fallon, Abbott, Williams, all free transfers.
Also Swansea didn’t lose any money in trying to get to the PL…
@sonictheswans@HPJSCFC So because the owners used their own high profile to attract sponsors, any subsequent money it brought in is meaningless.
To right we were rotting before the takeover, like Swansea were back in the early 2000s. But apparently Swansea didn’t spend a penny during their rise.
@sonictheswans@HPJSCFC Yeah because Wrexham have earned absolutely nothing from the documentary, sponsorship, and merchandise.
United Airlines, HP, TikTok, Vista Print, Expedia, Meta were all on the kits as a gesture of goodwill and didn’t contribute anything…
@HPJSCFC Right, so Swansea were ok when to spend money they made, but Wrexham can’t? Sounds a bit hypocritical.
Wrexham spent CH money in L2 because they were making CH level money.
If you think Swansea went from L2 to PL without spending anything you’re deluded.
@welshgaryevans So Swansea spending money the club has earned is doing it the correct way, but Wrexham spending the income it’s generating is doing it the wrong way?
@RobynRi62200048@fearlessidzine Mad stat that. Love to see a breakdown of the figures. How far back is that going? Seeing as most of the Wales team was made up of players from the Wrexham area for the first 30 years.
