• 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

Russell Martin

Finding stats is quite difficult due to it being a pre season friendly :D
Could be sacked by September if he gets off to a poor start and Rodgers gives his side a good rodgering in their first meeting of the season

I don't follow Scotish football but I get the feeling from the comments on other sites that they are very much impatient. He won't get the time he did under us. Nor Southampton. Problem with Russ is, he will start throwing players under the bus and blaming the lack of players that suit his style. I give him to December.

He is unfortunately the definition of failing upwards. I know you could claim parity with Soton, and that the sweaties league is a bit pants, but each of his jobs has been a step up in terms of our current place in the greater scheme of things. He has generally left most of his clubs in the same position or worse position as he found them, which is some epic snakeoilery.

There isn't a single season he's had as a manager where you could say that he's overachieved. Where his teams have done better than expected. It's usually the opposite.

Finishes of 19th and 13th with MK, 15th and 10th with us. Squeaked the playoffs with a Southampton squad and budget that should have been fighting for an auto promotion place. Embarassed himself in the Prem. No doubt he's planning to have a couple of easy, successful years in Scotland to rehabilitate his reputation, a bit like Rodgers did when he first went to Celtic.

His problem is that he's nowhere near as good a coach and will probably damage his credibility even more.

Here's a team for Russ to further develop his theories and possession stats ; and actually that team is more entertaining than when he was with us 😂. Ps also love the dive at 21 secs !!

I’m sure he’s happy enough to pick up a payoff cheque every 18 months. Now that’s overachieving 😉
