• 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

Yes, it’s a balance, but your answer is glib. Does our solvency depend on selling Piroe? Tell us….

Either we sell and then have to replace his goals, or we sell and consider that we have already replaced his goals with our summer signings. Which is it?

I'm of the opinion that our transfer business has been done in the expectation he would be sold, and we'll be in a tight spot if he's not. We've brought in three forwards, two for significant fees, so if two end up sat on the bench that's poor use of limited resources considering we don't have a left wing back still.

Without regular big player sales our solvency depends on the whims of the American investors. If they keep pouring money into the black hole then we'll be fine. If that stops large loans are hard to come by (because banks know Championship clubs can't pay them back) and we can very, very quickly end up in a Reading situation with points deductions and embargoes for not paying bills on time.

I think you may be right, and we may have already replaced Piroe bodies wise, but whether we have replaced him goals wise remains to be seen. We spent a huge chunk of change on the two strikers and even if we sell Joel for the numbers we are hopeful of we’ll only be about 5 million up and if we factor in the original Piroe fee we’ll be about 2.5 million up. Massive sums of money but not enough to keep a haemorrhaging championship going for long.

State why you believe it.

The same source who called the Grimes extension before it was public is making the same claim as Piroe as you have just posted.
 
New contract was only going to happen if no one came in for him before the window closed imo.
