PROMOTED teams like Swansea do not enter the Premier League with the same fear as we had 11 years ago.

Back then, you had to scrap to stay up or get left behind. But these days, smaller clubs like Swansea, Burnley and Blackpool come up looking to maximise the money they make, and even have a bit of fun in the process.

They are dangerous customers all right. They have prudent chairman who do not push the boat out massively, and then, even if they go straight back down again, at least they make a lot of money out of the experience.

That translates to the players as well, and you normally find that the clubs coming out of the Championship play an attractive brand of football, which is much more relaxed.

I’ve been really impressed with Swansea – their movement is great and they are making a real fist of it so far.

But their inexperience has shown a couple of times. They are susceptible on the breakaway and I’m sure Owen will be looking at the way they crumbled against Wolves in the final five minutes last weekend.
