Big-name Swans fly away from relegation

-

SWANSEA could lose their entire team as they drop into the Championsh­ip.

Already goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and Ki Sung-yeung have said they’ve played their last game for the club.

With no manager at the helm after the departure of Carlos Carvalhal, there could be many more heading for the exit.

Club legend Alan Curtis is backing the Swans to bounce back — but expects to see a lot of new faces at the Liberty Stadium next season.

He said: “We’ve been in worse situations than this. People forget that we almost went out of the league.

“So we’ve survived. Even though we could see it coming in the last couple of years, it just seemed to be all of a sudden that we were relegated and we’re still reeling a little bit from the shock of it.

Difficult

“It’s going to be a tough old league next year, we know that.”

Curtis believes that the next manager must get back to the passing game that brought the clubs up through the leagues under Roberto Martinez and Brendan Rodgers.

He added: “To actually get that sort of philosophy back again, you obviously need to have the players for it.

“More importantl­y, you need to have the coach or manager in place who wants to implement that — but that’s going to be difficult now that we’ve gone down.”
