Huw Jenkins says that the Swans dreams are close to becoming a reality

The Swansea City Chairman will see his name firmly carved into the club's history books if the club win promotion to the Premier League on Monday.

And Huw says that it will be the delivering of all the dreams they have talked about the past few years.

He told the Evening Post "There may be a few Reading players who have had a taste of the Premier League before because they were there not that long ago

"But I think it is fair to say that for the majority of players on either team, Monday's game could change their lives as they know them.

"There's no doubt that for whoever ends up getting promoted, there will be a complete change in almost everything they have been doing.

"A lot of the dreams that have been talked about at our club over the past few years have now become very close to reality.

"There's a massive difference at the club already when you look at where we were when some of the players joined us.

"But those players are now very close to making another massive difference to their lives.

"A variety of things have been done at different clubs and we will do things our way," he says.

"I don't think a system where you are paying all the players the same money will work because there are always going to be different levels at a football club.

"Some people score goals, some people save them, some people compete in the middle of the park.

"What we would do, as always, is look to work within our income.

"You look at the majority of the clubs in the Premier League and it doesn't matter how much money they are bringing in, they are still in debt," he adds.

"They pay out more money than they bring in.

"For us to try to compete is going to be a massive challenge, just as it has been in the Championship.

"But if we get that chance, we will look forward to that challenge and we will try to meet it by doing things our way.

"That will be a completely different way from anybody else in the league, but we will stick to our principles.

"We are continually trying to improve things and we have done that," he adds.

"When you look at other clubs, you can see you spend millions on state-of-the-art facilities, whether it's training grounds or stadiums, but ultimately you have got to do it out on the pitch.

"That's where you compete.

"A lot of people in football tell you the game has changed and come up with a host of reasons why you need 20 or 30 members of staff behind a Premier League team.

"Yet it's the same players who played in the Championship.

"Sometimes I think you have to use more common sense than some clubs seem to show.

"I feel excitement but I'm scared to death, I'm optimistic but I'm pessimistic — you go through every emotion when you think about what's riding on the game," Jenkins says.

"I am not just talking about finances.

"This is about taking the club to where we've always wanted to be."
