Daniel James will return to Swansea City on Monday morning to find three players and a chairman have all left since he himself thought he had departed the club on Thursday afternoon when he arrived at Leeds. The Wales winger was left out of the team that lost 2-0 at Bristol City on Saturday – a defeat that was overshadowed by the decision of Huw Jenkins to stand down a few hours later. Jenkins’ statement gave the clear impression he had grown disillusioned with the fire sale begun last summer by the club’s American owners and ramped up again on transfer deadline day when Wilfried Bony, Tom Carroll and Jefferson Montero all left.

Huw Jenkins has stepped down as Swansea City chairman, saying: “To have lead our football club through the greatest period in the clubs history has been a fantastic experience.” Calls for Jenkins to stand down have intensified since the Swans went down from the Premier League and he says: “Swansea City has been a massive […]

Swansea City’s transfer deadline day ended in chaotic confusion as three players left the club, two more were stranded at the 11th hour, and fans voiced their anger on social media. Deals to take Daniel James to Leeds United and Leroy Fer to Aston Villa collapsed late on after Wilfried Bony, Jefferson Montero and Tom Carroll all left the club. No-one moved in the other direction as the Swans contrived something even their supporters thought was impossible – a deadline day even more shambolic than the previous one.

Graham Potter admitted he was relieved Swansea City escaped with a point as Garry Monk came within seconds of a winning return to the Liberty Stadium. Oli McBurne denied Monk at the death as he snatched a second goal to ensure a 3-3 draw for the Swans at home to Monk’s Birmingham City. It preserved the Swans’ unbeaten run – which now stretches to seven matches – but it means the gap to the play-off places is five points rather than just three.

Oli McBurnie has warned Garry Monk that Swansea City are no longer the naïve rookies of the start of the season. The Scotland striker will be looking to add to his 13 goals so far this season when former Swansea manager Monk brings his Birmingham City side to the Liberty Stadium tonight (Tues). It will be Monk’s first return as a manager since he was sacked three years ago, but McBurnie believes the chances of a happy homecoming are remote.

Unlike most of the FA Cup remainers, Bersant Celina is desperate to be drawn against mighty Manchester City. The Swansea City midfielder is hoping tonight’s draw for the fifth round pairs his current club with his former one – providing a chance to prove how wrong Pep Guardiola was to sell him. Celina moved to the Swans last summer for £3m, after being told by the club he had been with for six years he was no longer required.

As night follows day, Oli McBurnie keeps being picked by Swansea City manager Graham Potter and the Scotland striker keeps scoring. Potter could easily have chosen to rest his top marksman with a key Championship match at home to Birmingham City on Tuesday night. Instead, to the satisfaction of the club’s supporters and FA Cup traditionalists everywhere, McBurnie played and scored twice as the Swans beat Gillingham 4-1 at the Liberty Stadium

Former Swan Steve Lovell insists there will be no lump in his throat or tear in his eye today – unless he knocks his old club out of the FA Cup. The Gillingham manager returns to his home town club determined to steer his League One side into round five, rather than get nostalgic. Lovell grew up in Swansea until former Crystal Palace manager Malcolm Allison tempted him away to Crystal Palace at the age of 16.

Leon Britton believes he could still perform in the Championship for Swansea City – but would struggle with the day-to-day rigours of full-time football. The Swans legend recently came out of retirement to sign for JD Welsh Premier League outfit Llanelli Town until the end of the season. In an interview with former team-mate Owain Tudur Jones on S4C’s Mwy o Sgorio football series, Britton also revealed that friend Lee Trundle, who plied his trade at Stebonheath Park last season, was a big influence on his decision to sign for the Reds.

Daniel James has been urged to reject any move to Leeds United and remain with Swansea City to lead their promotion challenge. Swans striker Oli McBurnie believes James can be a focal point around which a successful team can be built at the Liberty Stadium, having moved back up to ninth in the Championship table – six points off the play-offs – at the weekend. Leeds are keen to recruit James and any offer above £5m is likely to tempt Swansea’s owners to sell as they plead penury following their relegation from the Premier League.

Graham Potter has admitted he will tell Swansea City to do all they can to hang onto rising star Daniel James. The 21-year-old came off the bench at half-time to help inspire the Swans to a hard-earned 1-0 victory over Sheffield United at the Liberty Stadium. Oli McBurnie’s 65th minute goal proved decisive, but so […]

Swansea City have been warned that Sheffield United have wised up from the team beaten at home by the Swans on the opening day of the season. Graham Potter’s reign as manager got off to a promising start back in August when his side won 2-1 at Bramall Lane. The Blades also lost the following week – thumped 3-0 at Middlesbrough – but since then their form has picked up dramatically and they were in the top two in the Championship table until Norwich City’s Friday night victory over Birmingham.
