• 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

    Again, this isnt a black or white thing. We shouldn't be allowing an assistant manager to sign our most expensive signing in years under the circumstances we did. I e assistant with no real record of success for a club struggling in the championship. Free transfer or loan, then yes, different story.

    Logically I agree it makes no sense.

    Liverpool had the luxury of being able to spend that sort of money backing a successful manager. A struggling championship club shouldn't be doing similar with an assistant manager who's soon be sacked. As I say, a time and a place, under the correct circumstances.

    You're missing the point again. Theres a time and a place for it under the correct circumstances.

    And also didn't have this analytical recruitment set up at the club.

    We were a Premier league club, not a struggling championship club.

    Trucker jack!

    Im actually a supporter of it. Rodgers and Laudrup had great success signing players they knew. But they weren't assistant managers and the signings not as expensive as Idah! Which is mad really.

    Read up, its not me saying O Dea was solely responsible for signing him. Im saying its mad if he was.

    Its the degree of that power thats the problem.

    Hopefully we'll have learnt and wont give an assistant manager who'd soon be sacked the power to make expensive signings.

    Absolutely, read my comment saying ill the be first to congratulate them if it does turn out to be a success.

    Its not new, doesn't mean it was the correct thing to do. Why didn't the recruitment team identify him as a suitable signing?

    Well if they didn't thats a major failing in the recruitment process at the club then is it not? Having invested heavily in scouts and analysts, reportedly on the verge of making worth a director, but our most expensive signing in years was instigated by the assistant manager?

    Absolutely, whoever at the club sanctioned the signing deserves the criticism not the player (unless hes not trying - which has been levelled at him). If it turns out to be a successful signing I'll be the first to congratulate the recruitment team.

    So our previous assistant manager had sole power to sign players that have reported to have cost multiple millions? The recruitment team had no input? What odd point?

    You misunderstand the principle then.

    The negatives of the Idah signing are completely clear. You're the one who spins his stats into a positive which suggests you are really the one with a vested interest. You brought up us losing a game to a 200million squad or something not me. I presumed you were referring to the game...

    Don't conflate criticism of the actions of club staff with the club as a whole. Tony Petty in his time was technically acting on behalf of the club in his time as the owner. If someone criticised him, would that be criticising the club? No, of course not.

    Its been known. Remember Silverstein on reddit?
