HAVING tasted success himself last season with Hull City getting promotion to the Premiership, Phil Brown reckons that Swansea City could be the next team to be promoted from League One and compete in the Championship playoffs in quick sucession.

Phil Brown's Swansea side have picked up an extremely creditable four points in their opening two Premiership matches but were beaten by Swansea in the Carling Cup second round on Tuesday. Brown admits that staying in the Premier League is his priotity and sees Swansea as a side they could be meeting next season if he achieves his aim. He told BBC Sport: "They will certainly equip themselves in the Championship.

"If they play with that kind of confidence week in week out, they will be a threat for going up. Roberto obviously has them playing with confidence and they are a technically gifted side."
