but its a slightly false comparison

only 3/4 years ago we were in League One on the brink of administration. Part of the deal with the bank to keep us going was that if we got promoted to the Prem we had to pay back the debt within 2 years. that put us at a bu=igdisadvantage to Swansea who, as far as I am aware, were pretty much debt free on promotion.

Oh, and we also didn't get Lambert when he left to throw ?15m our way for Andrew Crofts.
