• 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

I don’t think anyone knows what’s going on. If he didn’t want it mk dons wouldn’t have put out that statement. The Athelric seem to think it’s done

Once bitten twice shy. Eustace exactly the same.

Integrity is in short supply for players and managers. We (the fans) are the real mugs in all this.

Much like the Martinez situation. Strung us along for weeks, even scouting for players to sign for Wigan on our coin when he'd already told Whelan he wanted the job there.
 
Not sure how reliable this guy is but seems to be of the opinion Martin doesnt want to come here but is open to being persuaded

Swans fans love a drama aye.

Could be this, could be that, could be nothing of the sort.

Chill out mun, it'll all pan out one way or another.

In the meantime, f*cking yanks / winter / we're doomed etc

That's obvious bollocks isn't it? (the tweet, not your post). He has no obligation to speak to us whatsoever if he wants to stay there. He just wants it all signed and sealed so he's not left high and dry. I'd be surprised, but not bothered much, if he's not our manager this time tomorrow.

Its from the sports editor of the MK Citizen, so its a reliable tweet
But logically hes still employed there and cant really say 'Ive said im keen from day one and have agreed to leave' just in case it doesnt go through
But he has said hes keen for the last week and thats why the approach was made yesterday after talks with Morris werent to our liking

Peter O’Rourke saying it’s done

F*ck him. Telling people he’s been turning us down etc, he can do one.

What's he supposed to say?

Say nothing is best. Telling people and reporters he has turned us down twice etc, who does he think he is, 14th in league 1.

He's still their manager atm, hes gonna be asked about it a lot today as hes managing their game at Bmouth and cant really avoid the press
Hes gotta make it look like hes still commited there until he officially joins us in case the deal falls through

Well exactly just say “you’ll find out when something official happens”

“I turned them down twice”, “feel I need to talk to them now they’ve made approach”

Maybe I’m old fashioned, it’s still a no from me, not that what I think matters.

Im not overly fussed on the words, does stink of maybe hes messing us about
But news in the club suggests its a done deal but wont be finalised until after their match today
