• 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

Selling him for 15-20M will allow us to bring in 3/4 players, plus we already have Obafemi who can reach 20 goals.

Vital put on twitter earlier that they have also heard there is interest, and that it is holding up progress on other transfers. Very similar to what I've heard and they are usually spot on.
 
It would be madness to sell what ever the price, if oba starts firing blanks we are fuked, Piroe is a class act and i could seriously see him scoring 30 goals for us this season

That's the financial reality unfortunately. The last set of accounts released showed that we can only stay in the black by selling players for big money or by taking out more loans, which no fan should want. Offloading Bennett and Fulton would be a big help considering their wages, but it doesn't look like either are leaving.

With Downes gone, Piroe is the most likely to go. Get £15m+ for him to keep us afloat and reinvest on a couple of £1-1.5m signings (like Downes, Darling, Obafemi, Piroe) and hope to repeat the cycle. That's the aim and if we manage to somehow cobble together a good enough team to get promoted while doing this, that would be a huge bonus for the owners.

Plus PIroe will have 1 year left on his contract next summer and would presumably be worth less, even if he does have a great season.
 
I am always bemused when some club is reported to be “considering” a bid.

They must be considering it out loud or the reporter is a mind reader or it’s bullsh1t.

To loan the club even more money at 5%?
no, to give not loan if they don't do something we will languish in the Championship for years and they'll never get their money back, sometimes you have to speculate to accumulate.

You'd think people would have started to understand that by now, wouldn't you?

I’d say that’s a lazy link based on that freelance story on Twitter, and to piss the Swans fans off because it’s that 🛎 end.
