• 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

Happy Anniversary Luke

I agree, but I'm not sure I trust the club to go and get that person anymore.

I genuinely think (and I promise I'm not saying this to spark another tedious debate on it), that Duff would have been that man if the club had stuck its course through the transition and hadn't bottled it after only a couple of months and gone back to the Martin tactical universe that the 'senior players' were pining for.

The timeline I have for managers is pretty long. if it were up to me, this season would be the make or break season for Duff. For Williams, that would be next season - he'll have had 18 months to get fully settled and got what he can from the recruitment team over 4 windows. If this time next season we're still treading water and moaning about the same issues, we'll need to make a change that summer.
We will never know about Duff, I haven't seen any real progress since he was replaced.

Only thing which gives me hope is the new ownership regime.

When we appointed Williams I can imagine we were restricted to shopping in B&M for a manager. I'm hoping next time we'll have a budget for Waitrose or at least Sainsbury's.
