• 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

    The club has been quiet about his appointment but seems a very good move. Strong track record and would have been great connections at Kings League and Wasserman

    DOF

    Out of interest why would it be odd to dismiss one D of F and then get a new one ? It's pretty much how football works. Clearly they didn't think Montague was up to it so they dismissed him, replacing him would be the obvious thing to do surely ?

    AI articles need to end.

    When reading the content it's quite clear that it wasn't created by chatGPT as there is too much opinion based content in there for it to be wholly AI made. It looks like it's been cleaned up by ChatGPT, which personally i think is a good use of the technology. I also have no issue with...

    Widell

    he has been asked to play as an 8 which is not his position and it's no wonder he looks like a headless chicken because that is what our 8's are asked to do. Chase people down, work backwards and support the winger. The role the manager has them playing isn't to create, drive into the box or...

    It is tactical, Sheehan explained it in the fans forum. My 12 year old pointed out the obvious risk of it and the response was that not many players had the quality to expose it.

    Montague

    Montague was lined up by Coleman months before. Williams was asked about it frequently by media. The dynamic before end of feb was Coleman, Cravatt and Cohen running things. This changed significantly in late February/early March with Coleman moving out and then essentially Cravatt and Cohen...

    i saw a linkedin message from him earlier saying he had been dismissed too

    Montague

    I think it's fair to say that the takeover and immediate investment was the start of the dial moving but things seem to have really ramped up since the move to take Coleman out of chairman role. What we have seen since is the owners group taking full control and a real change in how the club...

    Montague

    That wasn't his role, it was the role of Gorringe to negotiate and get the deals done. Gorringe himself confirmed this

    Kit release?

    This is where the Trust needs to be much more active, they are the ones who should be pushing for far more local focus, protecting the interests of local supporters etc. Kits being out earlier would have been optimal but I’d imagine the snoop dogg alignment has delayed it a fair bit. The...

    Kit release?

    Agree with much of that, but no reason why you can’t maximise the value of local support base and tap into the more temporary international one. Influencer marketing exposure is incredibly valuable when you are looking for commercial partners, sponsors etc as it becomes all about reach. The...

    Kit release?

    My kids are 12 and 16 and they are going mad over it. I wouldn’t understimate his fame among the youth of today. The guy has 90 million Instagram followers 👀

    The proof will always be in the pudding mate. But people will undervalue the importance of having people who genuinely care and are engaged. That in itself is a huge difference between these guys and Kaplan and Levien. We have to remember that the new ownership have only had control since end...

    No, I agree with that. They’ve always said the door was open in fairness. Personally I was surprised by how willing they were and how much time and effort they were willing to invest in doing so. This was over 3 hours on a matchday

    Guy On The Supporters Facebook Group

    I probably won’t do a good job in capturing them but we pretty much covered every topic - Poor Communication - Transfer Window failing - Role of new D of F - poor standard of football being played - state of the pitch - credentials of Coleman to be where he is - Coleman’s salary - Ken Gude...

    For myself, I contacted Coleman to see if I could meet up with him. Another guy called Justin had done something similar and so he got us there the same time. From what I can gather Justin brought two others with him who were very critical on the Swans Facebook group ( Phil was one of those)

    For what it’s worth I happened to be there for the same meeting. There were 4 of us fans, the guy who posted it was another one. I’ve never met him before but I know his face from the stadium and the vetch, he is apparently always moaning about Colman and co. I’m sure he won’t mind me saying...
