• 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

Chief of Staff and Head of Stategy

Err.

You can't be a Jew and a humanist. By definition, humanists don't believe in a god.

You just read books and believe every word, you do know everything in a book isn't a fact, this is why I dodge books, full of absolute rubbish most of them

How do you know if you dodge them?

Decent surname. One letter away from perfection.

I did think that when I saw his name. Well not the perfect bit if I'm honest.

Have you ever thought that you are only one letter away from being a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, with three meeting at each vertex?

No wonder the club can't pay dividends 😉

Only on for a few minutes last night and couldn't find the sarcasm smiley.

There was a thread a while back about taking money out of the club. I did post there can be many legal ways of doing it apart from dividends.

I did question at the time why someone would or be able to put their life on hold for a short amount of time, thousands of miles away without a benefit

Now there's nothing illegal but we've now had Pearlman, Silverstien, and now Gude along with Coleman.

What benefit have the club had, or will have, by not employing a recognised football chairman/chief exec (for want of a better name).

Is the club so badly run internally that it needs this continued intervention? If not then the only way a break even point can be achieved for their salaries and other expenses is by commercial means.

Have we seen any signs of this so far?

Yearly figures show the club losing money and can only cover it by sales of players at profit. That isn't a problem short term but it must also see progress.

There is no way to develop a 'Brand' Swansea in the championship

Paul Watson is the recognised football person with the operations manager/COO experience at Luton. Why we might need an extra person between the board, chairman, and footballing side will likely remain a mystery.

It’s pathetic and it’s all happening under the watch and agreement of people who rolled over and had their bellies tickled. How anybody on the trust board can’t see their position is untenable is beyond me

The rumours suggest that Coleman is picking up close to half a million a year, if that’s the case then it’s disgraceful for a club that turns over only around 30 times that

As you say we can’t pay dividends but there’s more than one way to get money back

I've said mate, people want to put me on an island on my own, everything is done by the book, to the letter, you become robotic in everything, if you let a book dictate your actions, you've got to keep throwing grenades, 20 grenades, you have a say a team of 5, one is the one who unpins a grenade, throw it to team mate one, in fact, you can probably do 5 all together, unpin 5, ping ping ping ping ping, then it's left, right, centre, in behind, then you'll do that about 4 times, then on the last throw, you all look up until it goes boom, are they all dead yet etc

It's probably due to the fact that Watson, Nathan Jones and Huw Lake were having a good old chin wag, before the derby game.. they want a guy on the ground who they can trust, and be their eyes and ears
