Swansea City Association Football Club is a Welsh professional football club based in the city of Swansea, South Wales that plays in the Championship. Swansea City represents England when playing in European competitions, although they have represented Wales in the past. They play their home matches at the Liberty Stadium.
The club was founded in 1912 as Swansea Town and joined the Football League in 1921. The club changed their name in 1969, when it adopted the name Swansea City to reflect Swansea’s new status as a city.
In 1981, the club were promoted to the original Football League First Division. It was during the following season they came close to winning the league title, but a decline then set near the season’s end before finishing sixth, although a club record. It was from here the club suffered a relegation the season after, returning to the Football League Fourth Division a few seasons later, then narrowly avoided relegation to the Football Conference in 2003. Prior to playing home matches at the Liberty Stadium, the team had previously hosted at the Vetch Field. The Swansea City Supporters Society Ltd owns 20% of the club, with their involvement hailed by Supporters Direct as “the most high profile example of the involvement of a supporters’ trust in the direct running of a club”.
In 2011, Swansea were promoted to the English Premier League, becoming the first Welsh team to play in the top division since its formation in 1992. On 24 February 2013, Swansea beat Bradford City 5-0 to win the 2012-13 Football League Cup (the competition’s highest ever winning margin for the final), winning the first major English trophy in the club’s history and qualifying for the 2013-14 UEFA Europa League.

It's only a matter of time before Russell Martin is sacked. He's tactically inept and the players are playing like they don't believe in his system anymore. The players he's brought in during this transfer window too are woeful.
finally Boro gets a win!!!
Cabango is so naive man ffs
Yanks out, Martin out.
It’s funny how when Swansea scored the pen he celebrated like he’s wan the game in the last. Minute in the World Cup final it made me laugh
Biased commentators
So Steffens came to this team for playing but he is not even in the bench lol
Where's the money they had for downes gone this time these yanks have bled this club dry they took the club out of the premiership all income ie parachute payments transfer fees for past players etc vanished with no satisfactory explanation or concrete proof of where it has all gone non existent investment or funding for team strengthening to a standard to take the club forward a yes man of a manager I really dispair and am fearful for the wellbeing and future of swansea city these so called owners and their puppet mouthpieces are a very real danger to the club make no mistake or be under any illusions some sort of firm and decisive action must be taken against them to force them out ASAP before it is too late
