0:01:01 > 0:01:04# Swansea City! #

0:01:04 > 0:01:07I feel sorry for the other fans, for the Hull fans, but I'm a Jack

0:01:07 > 0:01:10at the end of the day, you know, and over the moon!

0:01:10 > 0:01:11Fantastic.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14I can't believe it, I can't believe what's happened, like.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17We are still up in the Premiership and that's where we needed to be.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19It all started to feel possible yesterday when Swansea

0:01:19 > 0:01:22beat Sunderland 2-0 at the Stadium of Light.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26Fernando Llorente was on form, scoring in the ninth minute before

0:01:26 > 0:01:30Kyle Naughton doubled the lead, his first for the club.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32And it's 2-0!

0:01:32 > 0:01:35The goal gave us that lift and that confidence to go on and play.

0:01:35 > 0:01:40I would have been happy coming in at, you know, 1-0,

0:01:40 > 0:01:43but a great moment just before the half gave us that platform

0:01:43 > 0:01:46to go on and get the victory.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50Paul Clement became Head Coach in January, the third this season,

0:01:50 > 0:01:53and the Supporters' Trust believe he has made all the difference.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56He has obviously worked well with the players, trained them hard,

0:01:56 > 0:02:00he has got the respect, and it has worked,

0:02:00 > 0:02:02it has all clicked into place.

0:02:02 > 0:02:03So, what now?

0:02:03 > 0:02:06One former Swansea player told me new signings must be top

0:02:06 > 0:02:09of the club's to-do list.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11For next season, the squad that they have got there

0:02:11 > 0:02:14at the moment is only good enough to stay in the bottom half.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18I think the club need to buy three or four players, they have

0:02:18 > 0:02:22to look at their structure, at how much they pay for players.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24It is millions and millions of pounds to be in

0:02:24 > 0:02:27the Premier League, per club.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28So, Swansea have got to splash the cash, really,

0:02:28 > 0:02:31but on good, sensible buys, and hopefully Paul Clement

0:02:31 > 0:02:33is the man to do that.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36It is perhaps an understatement to say this has been a turbulent

0:02:36 > 0:02:38season for Swansea City.
