How Swans squad rates in value stakes
SWANSEA City’s relegation to the Championship hit them hard on and off the pitch.
Out went big-name stars and in came younger, less established players with the emphasis on potential.
Despite going down to the second tier, excitement levels and the enjoyment factor have returned in SA1.
The Championship continues to grow with more than 12 million supporters watching their teams battle it out across the season with clubs averaging gates of 20,500 last term.
It is third best attended league across Europe according to a recent report and its popularity has been reflected on the field.
Money has been flooding into the league as clubs either aim for a place back in the Premier League or look to take their seat in the top flight for the first time.
TransferMarkt has now provided an indication of the money in the league with a market value for every squad.
