After spending 7 years in the Premier League, Swansea City were relegated to the Championship last season. The club had to sell several senior first-team players and are now finding it hard to cope with the financial aspect of the Championship having been accustomed to the financial windfall of the Premier League.
Club manager Graham Potter spoke about the financial struggles of the Championship and more. "The reality of it is, there's a financial situation we have to deal with, there are always players you're aware you could go for - but it's not just a computer game, it's linked to the realities of the financial situation of the club which I'm not in total control of," said Graham Potter.
"That was never going to get fixed in one transfer window - we're still dealing with that now (relegation) and that makes it even more difficult to externally strengthen. We'll try to do our best, re-balance the team and players who need another challenge. There may be things there, but my number one focus is to work with the guys we have here and make improvements."
