• 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

Wanted Hellberg, shame it doesn't look like happening, oh well. Board getting pelters for not appointing him in the summer, but was a bit of a loss-loss situation for them really with how well Sheehan did.

Interesting now as there hasn't been a single name mentioned as an alternative, so no idea where we go from here. Starting to think my trip to Bristol on Saturday is going to be less excited than expected...
 
Wonder who we look at now? If Boro get Hellberg, that still leaves Norwich and Southampton to compete with. What’s Alan Sheehan up to these days?!
 
When there's even a mention of another club, it never ends well for us.

This ownership if they fail to get this across will have to seriously answer some heavy questions.

Awful January window under them, late to sack Luke Williams, Not finding a replacement for him quick enough, appointing Sheehan and giving him a 3yr deal, a summer window which appears to be questionable inclduing signing Idah for 7mill and now this fiasco after sacking Sheehan. Not to mention having a notorious forum troll as our head of recruitment.

Every key moment and decision they've had to take it has gone horribly wrong. Its all good getting these big names to join the ownership group but if you can't get basic key decisions right, we'll go nowhere.
Oh well, these owners have had nightmsre after nightmare. I tried to give them a chance but they cannot make a key decision to save their lives.
 
Strangely, Hellberg is no longer included in the 'Boro odds list.
 
Makes sense for him suppose higher in the division and closer to Sweden.

Maybe Russell is coming back 🤣

I’m not 100% sure about that. Looks as if it’s been hijacked at the last second. Not the fault of the owners in this case. In fact, if we’d have appointed him, which looked to be happening until this morning, we’d have been the quickest out of us, Norwich, Southampton and Boro to make an appointment. That’s decisive considering we let Sheehan go under a week ago. We can’t blame the club for a manger deciding to go somewhere higher in the league.
 
I've got a feeling they haven't been speaking to other candidates aswell. They will have a shortlisted but doubt they would have been in contact with anyone else and all the eggs have been in the hellberg basket.

Looks like we're gonna have another drawn out situation like after Duff again.

Same old swansea.

Closer to Sweden made me laugh.

Need to just wait and see. Can’t force someone to join you, so I don’t see why the board should get pelters. Also, absolutely nobody knows if he’s any good, let alone would be good for us. Relax…as Sham would say, it’s just a ride.
 
If the news of Hellberg to Boro is true then I'm not really shocked. As a Swans fan then it comes as second nature to miss out.

Same old, same old......we move on to the next one.
Im disappointed. But used to this as you said. Wonder who the next manager to be linked is
 
If he goes to Boro then can’t blame the board for this.
They were quick quick in sacking Sheehan (maybe not quick enough for some).
And they wasted no time in trying to tie Hellburg up.
If it’s not him then I still have faith that they will find the right guy.
I’ve not said that sentence about our owners since Huw Jenkins was appointing the likes of Martinez etc 🤣
