• 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

Because some 'fans' had made up their mind about Sheehan very early in the season (or even before that if they wanted someone else in the summer) and they won't stop going on about it.

I do wonder what their excuse will be if we sack Sheehan and are just as middling under another manager? My guess is some will register under new usernames and others will say it's the club's fault for making another wrong appointment. Maybe one or two would admit that these players aren't as good as they claim.

On the flip side of that, if we did appoint another manager and he gets these players to the level they can apparently achieve, I'll hold my hands up and admit I got it completely wrong.
That’s the thing though, we aren’t middling are we? We’re lower mid-table and the stats say we are the worst attacking side in the league. That’s not just midtable, that’s relegation form potentially if it drags on for the rest of the season. The likes of Southampton and Norwich will not be down there come the end of the season. We will have to get better if we want to stay out of trouble. Lucky for us we’ve picked up a bit the last two games, if we can take those performances into the next month, we should see some more points picked up.
 
To be honest, in my little fantasy football world, I wouldn’t allow any mid season changes in players or managers. You assemble your squad and pick your manager before the first game and all subsequent movements are allowed only in the close season. Job done. No pissing about, no speculation no unrest, just get on with it.

As it is, I really couldn’t care if he stays or goes. I will not be bothered either way, as I really do think the shout is 50:50 in its chance of better or worse over the rest of the season. Let the clockwork gorringe make the shout. That’s his job.
100% with you on players. The window should shut on the eve of the season in every league across the world.

Not sure I'm brave enough to commit myself to saying the same thing for manager.

Phil’s traffic would be f****d.
