• 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

Thought I’d canvass my Millwall mate’s view of the only player I’ve heard of from Notts that has gone anywhere. I hope we can buy the ‘championship’ over the air upgrade or plug in.

Langstaff. Great player at Notts County, headless chicken at Millwall. Probably a league or two out of his depth. 1 goal in 28 appearances. Not a good return for a striker.

There is a reason he was playing in lower leagues at his age. Can you imagine we'd spunked 700k on him.

Him and Jenny Yates up front would have been fearsome.

Sad thing is, Cullen and Vippo… you can guess the rest
 
Very impressive interview and despite my current mood, it gave me a bit of hope that we may have ambitions to be a serious outfit.
He mentioned the “weight given to certain data” a few times. I’ve had a feeling for a while that we haven’t been doing that.

Yet most of our fans were going crazy that we didn’t spunk that money on him in the summer - yet I kept saying that we and Williams weren’t actually interested.

Williams knew he wasn’t a championship level striker.

Yep. Serious indeed - serious money demands serious success

So now we have football folk at our football helm, and most likely a proper football manager managing (instead of the self-indulgent fraudster idiots like Martin-Williams) - it will be fascinating to see where some of our more challenged passive supporters lash out at next.........

Yep, my thoughts as well.

If Williams had rated him at this level, he'd be in our squad.
 
I thought he spoke well on the interview and what was interesting he did cover its more than just data on recruitment and he focuses on character of a player for a best fit. Although, not sure how you evaluate this until the player signs and beds in.

Always a gamble. Yiu can see why they took a punt, but that's shocking numbers. 1 in 28. Wow.
