• 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

There remains a school of thought that believes had he remained at Swansea and been "backed", that he'd have ultimately been successful. Anyone still promoting that view is certifiably insane.

He's gone to Southampton and played his tedious shit whilst blaming anyone and everything but himself when it hasn't worked. Now he's gone to Rangers and seems hell bent on doing exactly the same thing.

That last few games of the 22/23 season are definitely the outlier of his entire career. The rest of it has been almost entirely shite., and he must be running out of chances.

I still don't know how he wasn't sacked after a run of (I think) 2 wins in 23 games
 
He’ll eventually release a book on how he fooled the football world into thinking he was a football manager to make a fortune.
 
Why are people still talking about him? He's moved on and we've moved on.
Thing is Gwyn, he's a bit of a fraud, stealing a living but a multi millionaire. Terrible footballer, awful manager, but a handsome bastard with the gift of the gab! I hate people like that Gwyn 😒
 
Russ publicly rebuking his players today. Didn't take long. That'll engender team spirit. Any bollockings should be in the dressing room. It's going to end in tears.

"We had too many on the pitch today who just did what they wanted to do. When you want to just jog around, there’s a big problem. Some of them have to drop their ego. I’ll look at us tactically and accept my responsibility but today wasn’t really tactical, it was a mentality problem.

Today, we go ahead and play some OK stuff. Every time we get in the final third, we turn the ball over and make crazy decisions. They’re either selfish decisions or they’re based on anxiety, so we need to get to the bottom of that. Because there was far too much stuff that we haven’t worked on

Too much ego, too much self-preservation, and you’re either all-in all the time or you’re not. And if you’re not, you just won’t play very much.”
