• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Coleman out

What happened to giving people time to turn things around. We have been going the wrong way for a while, this will not be an overnight fix. Give them a fair shot before casting judgement, its a nothing season anyways

Ignore him, the fella revels in misery. When things are going ok on the pitch he's nowhere to be seen.

January is always a difficult window, the one thing I would say is Coleman needs to stop trying to win the fans over with the statements he comes out with.

I'm starting to notice subtle differences off the pitch with some of its initiatives.

It is definitely a work in progress. This club has been sinking in to oblivion for years, it's transformation certainly isn't going to happen over night.

The time to judge is this time next year.
 
Coleman just fuck off out of the club and give it to someone who knows how to run a football club.
I'm not convinced he needs to fuck off, but he certainly needs to bring a top executive in to run the football side, and then remove his useless mitts from it.

Go run the rest of the club, concentrate on the business side and let people who know what they're doing do what they do best.

There are definitely things that we shouldn't be judging right now, such as changes to club infrastructure, backroom staff, scouting networks etc - these things need time to come to fruition.

But we can - and should - watch Coleman and co like a hawk on football matters, including how they handle the Williams situation, how they handle this and other windows, and also contract negotiations. They are there to be scrutinised on that and that's an ongoing thing, we should judge them case by case on that.

Less talking and more action would suffice for myself.

Summer window is when I'll start judging. This summer we still had twit and twat lurking in the background and this time of year is a challenge for the majority of clubs.
 
I'm sure if we get dragged into a relegation scrap and end up in L1 this thread will be very relevant. Our current form suggests we are looking over our shoulder than the false dream of the play offs
 
It's as simple as this Coleman has very little clue on how to run a club from the stand point of building a squad and a manger.

This an over reaction as per.

I'm all for giving them chance. The summer is going to interesting with the new ownership. They have a big decision to make about the manager who I suspect wasn't Colemans first or second choice.

January is a difficult window as well.

Not for me... we have had a summer window. We have not progressed at all if anything we are have started getting a shoeing against far weaker teams than last season.

We have no structure pride of urgency in our play. We can only hope there is 3 worse sides.

We even haven't got the ability to bounce back from poor defeats now. Our fan base has had enough of this pitiful style of walking backward football

Sorry, but it’s been a disaster since Coleman came on in the summer of 2023. It’s obvious that you need some experience there. Maybe in time he’ll learn, but what state will we be in by then?

Levien still had his fingers in the pie during the summer which would no doubt have dictated our spending.

The new owners are basically starting from a position where the club has been neglected for years. Any progress isn't going to happen over night.

I also doubt very much that Williams was Colemans choice for manager.

The results on the pitch firmly sit with the manager.

Yes, he’s not new.

People dreaming of spunking £20m in January are just that - dreaming and unable to tell apart make belief from reality

For seven years Kaplan and co constantly under sold players and over spent on others, let players with resale value run down contracts and asset stripped the club as much as they could before they were eventually chased out.

The end result of all of that is a weak squad and a budget that is super close to the FFP red line with very few players of any real saleable value left with which to fund new acquisitions either in this window or the next.

Thank god we still have ‘The Blueprint’
