• 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

    Raising Funds

    The only valuation theory that holds up for football clubs is the Greater Fool theory. More seriously - a revenue multiple in itself is meaningless. Anyone can sell stuff at a loss. The key to value is to sell stuff at a profit (generate cash). Unfortunately …

    Raising Funds

    Simple maths:if (big if) it’s worth £160m after a £50m fund raise then it was worth £110m before. Bloomberg have obviously seen some kind of fund raising document, which would be super interesting to see and would, presumably, explain to the potential investors why the club is worth £ xxx. I’m...

    Welsh Regions

    Self harm has always been a characteristic of Welsh rugby governance. The only way to make the economics work would be to seize on the discord between English pro rugby camps (will relegation/ promotion ever be reinstated? Is the bar to entering the top league too high?) and propose to merge...

    I think in other sports (cycling) you have, or had, to make yourself available for an hour every day, all year round.The sportsperson uploads whereabouts to a shared calendar. It must be right to do so, otherwise everyone would load up on the appropriate gear over the summer and come back about...

    I had a look at his stats on Cricinfo and amazingly he has got a 100 in a one-day international: Jersey against Papua New Guinea.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Night Thread | Swansea City 3 Plymouth Argyle 0 | Att: 14,978 | The EFL Championship

    Fully 50% of their turnover is sponsorships and advertising. It can’t last.

    2023/24 Financial Statements

    Yes (if I were a shareholder/ business owner) I would spend as much as I could afford on the academy. We have a big catchment area, and hence first shot at a decent talent pool. It’s also the best shot at that money making transfer which helps the club fund itself.

    2023/24 Financial Statements

    This all feels about right to me. Reflecting on the last 3 yrs accounts while sweeping leaves … - we turn over about £20 m - we spend about £40 m. I do actually think this will be player wages and other legit expenses. It doesn’t look like a situation where the shareholders are scalping the...

    New Manager

    Silly thing for him to say, though, because he can’t control the arrival of a new manager (what if they all say no?). Perhaps he meant he was given a short term (one month) contract as caretaker, which expires around now?

    Found this picture on some hoardings around the Mumbles tennis courts by the prom the other day, as part of a local history thing. That’s my Dad at the back right. Storyofmumbles.org is a wonderful website.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 0 Sheffield Wednesday 1 | Att: 14,149 | The EFL Championship

    Well, if I can share my 2 cents’ worth (given that this is likely to be my one game of the season) … Three at the back usually means one less in midfield. Fine if the three really add something with their passing, but our three don’t. They just delay the ball going forward. We lack a centre...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Norwich 5 Swansea 1 | The EFL Championship

    A fine city though. Anyone who is prepared to travel should make a weekend of it. Great place: good architecture (esp. UEA) and delicious beer plus river and the cathedral close. I went to a few Norwich games back in the day and the vibe was very Swansea: oh &ck, not again. Relegation in about...
