• 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

Great documentary here detailing the blatant corruption and manipulation within modern football.


It's surprising how many people aren't aware of this and its impact over football.
 
That’s why I have stopped watching any other football games other than Swansea. On the other hand, it may be the start of a global money inflation in football but it is too early to tell, but meanwhile, the situation is bad, really bad.
 
Football is unlike any other business in the land.
The money involved has become scarily unreal and surely unsustainable.

I was watching the Damned United the other day. Clough, Taylor and a couple of others who took training(well Taylor did 🤣), signing, scouting and selling players, nutritionists, 1 kit man and so on..today there are well into double figures with people working underneath people and so on.

If you actually sit down and think about what the players get paid and the amount of people and their roles in the club then you just think WTF!
 
Excellent film. I wonder what Cloughie would think of it all now given the Trevor Francis 1M story.
