• 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

When  a learning curve includes Liverpool, Leicester City and Celtic then you know that there will be a host of knowledge picked up from working with some very good players.   And of course a winning mentality.    And this is why I feel that – assuming it happens – the Chris Davies appointment...

Tidy.

As reported here on PS on the 31st of May, CD ticks all the boxes. A shortlist candidate.

Coleman then latched on and followed up with an article on WOL, 2nd June.

It’s good to see that more and more Swans fans now see he is the real deal, despite initial misgivings.

The antithesis of Martinball. Just the tonic, For proper fans, our inner core of players, inner core of backroom staff and significant stakeholders.
 
Appoint Davies with or without chinwiggs dotting the i's and crossing the t's with Southampton, get him in and get him up and running NOW 👊💥

I share the frustration, but don't think we can announce a new manager when there's an incumbent.

We kind of did with Cooper. He was still employed by the club albeit not as the Head coach.

His departure was all sorted long before Martin was signed though, right? I know it was a weird situation with his contract until he took over at Forest, but he was officially not our manager at that point.

With Martin, everyone knows he's going to Southampton, but it's not going to be official until they're confirmed as a Championship club. I imagine if we hired someone now before he officially leaves, we'd be in a legally precarious situation.

Well he was still an employee of the club for about a month while Martin was manager of the club believe. But yes he had been relieved of manager duties before Martin was appointed.

Is "the incumbent" actually doing any work for us, and are we still paying him? We're running out of time.

I'd make the cvnt do a litter pick after tonight's concert.

Aren't all managers and players usually on holiday at this point?
