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

Sad and worrying times. The house of cards is wobbling.

Sol Campbell was Manager for 9 months, yet he is claiming £182,000. That's 20k a month.
That's ridiculous. He shouldn't have been paid that at that level.

Which is the crux of it.
Clubs have been spending beyond their means at all levels of the game for years. Covid has just mashed the accelerator down on the road to financial problems for most of them. The crash of ITV Digital should have been a wakeup call but too many of them carried on as normal.
There will be calls for most of them to be helped or bailed out but ultimately that won't solve anything. They'll just go back to doing the same again. It's going to take Armageddon before either the clubs or the league step in to enforce proper financial controls.
According to the BBC they owed £500k including almost £200k to the taxman and this was the 12th time the case had been heard. The guy made available a screen shot of an account with £1.1m in it, but the judge wasn’t happy and pound the club up. Feel sorry for the fans, the players and businesses that have let out.

Only need two leagues of professional footballers
The rest can get more useful jobs to support their amateur careers

Would you feel the same if we were still in League 1 or 2 though?
