• 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 talked about the August fixtures on another thread. Two home wins from two are imperative and avoiding defeat in the three away games is the minimum expectation.

On reflection I almost have more confidence in our chances away from home than I do at the .com.

Oh, and the ridiculous arse dribble social media clips must also cease.
 
In football if you want to 'build' something then it helps if you have a charm or likeable personality that buys you time with the fans.

For whatever reason he doesn't have that, the fans are going turn on him quicker than they ever would for someone like Martinez for example
 
Interesting to see that get him gone now has started to pull away

Honestly, I can’t believe we’re having this discussion.

If he goes, there will be trouble…

If he stays…
 
Give him until end of September.

The club can’t afford to sack him and his staff anyway in my opinion. I’m desperately hoping he turns it around, but it’s going to be difficult, I don’t think the players are 100% behind him either which is the most alarming part.

He's had over a full season I think this is exactly the time to have this conversation

Imagine you’re a player, would you smell the bullshit, see how others are treated, and be fed up with robotics and following exact orders? If the answer is no, you are Matt Grimes and I claim my reward.
 
Hold fire until the 10 game mark, if I were a betting man I'd put us in the bottom 8, if so pull the trigger, but here's the thing, who would we get to take over the reins of this basket case of our club that would keep us out of a relegation scrap?
 
Too expensive to get rid of at this point. Contract is through 2024, no?

At this stage I personally would give him until the World Cup break. If we’re within 6 points or fewer of the drop zone, give him the axe. If not, keep him a bit longer.

The ownership group and their errand boy haven’t shown any ambition to move up as that would take investment. I can’t see RM getting the boot unless we were in a full relegation scrap. Sadly, we might already be in the fight whether we know it or not.
