• 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

People are being harsh on Coleman imo. Time will tell if he has the ability to turn the club around, but he has been here a while, knows the position that the club are in and has still decided to back the club. He has to be given props for that surely?
One thing I’ll say about Coleman, although he maybe inept, I honestly believe he cares.
 
It's a cut throat business, football. No one held a gun to Coleman's head to make him come here to begin with. He chose to come, and he was very nicely salaried for it.

So I don't have a lot of sympathy for the criticism he's received to date, mainly because most of his decisions have been dog shite and he's brought it on himself.

That said, giving him the benefit of the doubt for a second, if a large part of the problem was the Chuckle Brothers then now they've gone it could be the making of him. To his credit, he seems serious about this, otherwise he wouldn't be buying them out. He could just easily have left with them.

I remain a sceptic - but I'm willing to treat this as a clean slate and give him another chance to prove he's up to this gig.

We'll find out soon enough.
 
Is he still the biggest Swans fan in Holland?

Haven't heard of him since he was hawking his "Premier league weekend breaks" at Morgans Hotel whenever we played a top 6 side...
He has dropped off the face of the earth from a Swansea perspective and his fellow clog wearing dicks he used to bus over.

Guy was a twat, goading people on social media after the sale. I remember him being in the Harvester after a game, he didn't hang about for long.

I'm sure the loon threatened to fill Prosser in at one point too 👀

Also worth bearing in mind he's ploughed an awful lot of his own money in to the club.

I was thinking the same. I'm sure something happened between them.

Then, there have been a few over the years who have offered to re arrange Darren's face 😂

Not sure why, he's a top bloke.

I’m sure he was in Swansea not so long ago sure I saw something.
 
I've held my thoughts on all of this until there was time to properly digest it.

On paper and based on the ringing endorsements of a number of posters on here who's opinions I respect I am hopeful that this will be the beginning of a new era for the club where the efforts of multiple managers, directors of football, recruitment and chairmen have been operating with their hands tied behind their backs for almost a decade now.

I expect a large amount of transition and it may not have all settled by the time we hit the January window. At least the rumblings coming from the Darling and Cabango camps are also sounding more positive now and fingers crossed we will now see them get new deals and we can stop looking for fire sales for whatever isn't nailed down every window.
