• 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

Well I’ve always been Coopers biggest fanboy, so I’m not going to desert him now.

As Karl H would tell you (has he been locked away?), Cooper outcoaches EVERYBODY.

Towards the end of last season I argued in favour of him saying that if we reach the play-offs and fall at basically the final hurdle he’s earned another season for a great effort in his first season in senior management.
If we were to basically fall at the final hurdle this season I think I’d thank him for his efforts and look elsewhere.

I would agree and I certainly wouldn't be disappointed if he was to.leave. i like the guy but there's something I'm missing with him. He's learning and I think he has a lot of great qualities but he has some extemely stubborn traits that often detract from the good he does.

Difficulty is in that long term we may be in a better position to not go up this year and go up with a real chance of survival. Do I think we would stand a chance in the Premier League even with a few new signings? No chance. Our approach would absolutely play into the hands of teams and it would be another Carvalhal Ferrari in traffic nonsense.

But this may be our only chance. Time will tell


They equalised in the 66th minute and we were getting ready to take the draw at home to Bristol Shitty.

Although arguably the pair of them aren't particularly helping that argument.

We're running them into the ground. Playing them game after game with no rotation or fear for their place in the team.

I accept that I don't have Cooper's experience or qualifications but I'm struggling to see the sense in it.

Urgh.

To be fair I'm sure he said they were getting ready to take the draw referring to the Wurzels hoping he's misquoted. As if not that's pretty horrible to read

I can't believe he was preparing to take a draw after they equalize in the 66th minute.

I do agree. But Pukki and Toney bar injury have played every game. Pukki in particular has bounced back lately.

Ayew has become a huge problem and back to the waste of space we feared he may be in August 2019. Sad to see

The article from his interview says WE so I take it he was talking about US.

Why did Cooper not sign a striker in January?

We were set to sign the Southampton lad. Should have gone for Charlie Austin or Shane Long. Both are scoring and would have offered us something.

Instead we shat ourselves and spunked on two Americans. One of which is a huge miss but the other Cooper doesn't seem to know his worth or where to play him

And I am saying HE was MISQUOTED

Ooo yes, for all the good things, stubborn yes - good description. I hope he learns and develops. I loved that Ferrari analogy mind!
