• 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

Reading that Hull are spending 6M and other teams have been spending well it really does raise a few questions.

Coming off the back of covid and over a season without fans, we have spent some money but we seem to have spent what we have taken in, some teams have spent after selling an asset to offset that spend.....but it appears that some club are spending without selling.

It was going to be a tough enough season as it was but this spending in the championship is an head scratcher all things considered.

With talk of Wood and Piroe possibly moving on, I would think our spend could be another 5M minimum on top of what we have spent already especially if the 2 move on.

The money going around is absolutely madness in this league.
 
Hull got rich new owners 18 months ago and after their relegation and promotion have had to build back from scratch. Their wage bill on their last published accounts (21/22) was only £12.7m compared to our £26.1m for the same period. They were almost sustainable!

Pushed the boat out last season so will have caught up to us overspenders even with a decent fee for academy-product Lewis-Potter.
 
Early days yet but this season looks like one of the strongest Championship lineups for quite some time
