Why are we always moaning about Swansea out-doing us?

Of all the clubs that other teams might admire for their achievements, or aspire to be like, Swansea are obviously first but I'd say we're second. Successive promotions and consolidation without spending any money (saints don't count) whilst clearing all debt is extraordinary.

Ok, so Swansea have done a bit better than us - only them though. There are 20-odd teams our size who would wince hearing us moan about failing to match swansea's achievements.

What about ours??
