• 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

What hole are you on about you melt?

He directly told a journalist he turned us down twice last week which is backed up by someone else on other forum who has a mutual friend with him.

Nobody ever tells lies, or fabrication of the truth when talking to "mates".. carry on you gullible old goat

It’s a local journalist who relies on scoops from the club he reports on, he’s not going to blatantly make up things which are said to him. He’d be crucified.

I’m not that old yet, and although I can admittedly be gullible, this is just simple common sense.

Unsure what Risc has said wrong here. The journalist is to be as trusted with direct quotes from those who cover our club etc. Direct quotes when the journalist has a direct relationship with the manager is unlikely to be lies

Skippy been on the Stella I think
 
I think it is fair to assume that if the journalist reports that one - given who he is and what he has said - it is probably right

The interesting part for me would be whatever we have changed to make us a "no go" to being "almost certain"

I would also go with the journalist last night who stated the three year contract was agreed in principle

I would completely disagree with any reports of salaries that have been banded around for almost everyone we have been interested in 😁

It would suggest we've allocated some transfer funds. Maybe not substantial but enough to give the new man a little bit of budget to play with?
 
Ok, it's all true after a word of mouth, f*ck me, thank f*ck the justice system isn't run by you 3 pearlers

Thank f*ck it's not run by you either as you'd be disregarding statements from reliable witnesses :lol:

If true I feel sorry for MK Dons fans. We’ve been there.

How can you feel sorry for the first ever and only football franchise in the UK, basically bought someone else's team in London and moved them to Milton Keynes.. Americans think it's great, but we're completely different animals when it comes to sport, it's ironic that our Americans are poaching him

Small point of order, most American sports fans don't think it's great at all. In fact it's caused massive protests in the past.

See the Baltimore Colts bringing in the moving trucks in the middle of the night to get out of their stadium and on the way to Indianapolis before the fans knew what was happening, or the outrage when the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore.

Doesn’t sit right with me personally Phil, but maybe I’m too easilly offended.

You either want to be here or you don’t. I know where we are in the food chain, I get that, but at same time I’m not having we are low enough for a guy whose best achievement is finishing bottom half league 1 telling the press he needs to speak to us as we are persistent even after him custard pie’ing us twice

So you're completely changing your initial statement then :lol:

But he wasn't quoting sources. He is a journalist who is in contact with Martin and quoted him.
