• 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

If they do not bounce back at the 1st attempt it could be curtains for them with 110m debt owed to owners.

Nobody will buy the club when its in league 1 with that debt, and Tan has to be close to done with this project.

His 1.5b worth has dropped to 750m last year and close to 300m has been pumped into Cardiff and apparently he is forking out 3m/month to keep the lights on.

If your bleeding money over and above your investment at the rate of x millions a month any sane person would dump the investment. That Nantes case in Sept might be the end if it doesnt go their way
This is why I’m glad Luton went down. They are far more likely to take one promotion place.

If Tan dumps them and go bankrupt and lose their league position, would a ghost team be able to be resurrected in the English tier like others have done or would they have to be reborn in the Welsh system?
 
From one of their lot. Money well spent:

In eleven attempts, Cardiff didn't win a single Championship game this season with Ramsey as a player or a caretaker manager:

0-2 v Sunderland
0-5 v Burnley
1-1 v Swansea
0-2 v Middlesbrough
1-1 v Bristol City
1-1 v Plymouth
1-2 v Burnley
1-2 v Luton
1-1 v Oxford
0-0 v West Brom
2-4 v Norwich.

But but he was the saviour? The local boy who loves his club so much?
 
I don't know if they were actually stupid enough to pay Calum Chambers £45k per week, but I hope they were.

A barely Championship standard player who had any aspirations of operating at the top level ended by a Swans player only fit about 20% of the time. With club management and decision making like that then League One probably won't be the bottom of the barrel for them.

I think the only thing that could possibly save em is the fact that they are the capital and someone who may have a few quid will take it on. But the huge debts hanging over em would scupper that.
Basically they are royally fckd, and the fact that one of their own who detests us has taken em down is poetic beyond.

Nobody considering them as a potential investment will give two shits about that. If being a "Capital City" was a factor investors would be swarming all over the likes of Charlton, Millwall or Leyton Orient.

They'll be looking at a club up to its eyeballs in debt to the owner, with an extremely fickle fanbase and an overpaid and undertalented squad and trying to decide if they're worth the bother. If you had £50m to spend on a football club, there are better options out there.
 
What makes me laugh is how surprised they are that we are taking the complete piss out of them and milking their relegation, as if they wouldn't do it to us

They think we are obsessed with them, but in actual fact we are obsessed with laughing at the fucking circus that they are

Agreed, but was alluding to the fact that as a capital city, thers just 1 club in it.
 
Chambers still has two years left on his deal too. Anyone want to guess some odds on whether there's a relegation clause?
 
Looking at their potential fixtures next season it’s an absolute nightmare, about as attractive as a sh.t sandwich.
