• 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

The question should be 'why would you recruit players with no manager in place?'

Managers are increasingly referred to as head coaches these days by clubs who expect them to coach the squad assembled by others. I haven’t a clue how much input our managers have on acquisitions.
 
I don’t understand why anyone thinks this isn’t the way we deliberately operate. Duff said more than once his job is to use the players he is given by the club.

Edit…as Lisa pointed out the other day, someone’s been reading moneyball.

Paul Watson - recruitment genius ;)

Because we’re a “data driven” club “building processes” and have a head of strategy implementing a “high performance culture” :lol:

Because it's not the manager picking or buying the players arriving at the club. Didn't Duff say something along those lines.
