• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

What an achievement it’ll be for Parkinson if he manages to get them up. Taken them from non league to the biggest league in the world.

And fair play to them for sticking with him. There were times in the autumn when it looked like ‘the project’ was failing and most clubs with wealth would have given him the boot.
 
Still don’t know how he will do in the PL but if they brought in players for the level he might do okay.
 
A lot of their newer fans were calling for his head after the start they made to the season. The older heads knew it was far too early to make a change. The tour to Australia and New Zealand meant they were playing catch up. The new editions were brought in after that tour and it didn’t give them any time to bed in. After they acclimatised they went from strength to strength and have had some impressive wins, they have also had some matches where they were atrocious. They have been hot and cold this season.
 
I saw the prematch chat on the pitchside and noted that Lampard said that signing Grimes was the first step in rebuilding and setting up the way they were going to play.Say what you like about Grimes and his time with us ,but I always thought it would be a loss to us,
We have coped without him but they have scored bucketfuls of goals with him in midfield this season so you have to question our tactics over the years.Good luck to him in the PL at last he has got there.

He was meant to have been gone before Xmas according to a lot on here. Add in that all the players they bought were crap as well, he’s a walking miracle worker 🤣

He needed the break from us as much as we as a club needed it.
He got too comfortable with us and that effected both us and himself.
