• 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

The bidding war for Whittaker supposedly starting with 4/5 clubs after him. Hopefully the price will be driven up
 
This thread is like the ‘for you’ side of Twitter, headers the lot of you 🤣

Cracking game, I've been playing it since I was 15 and have no intention of giving it up now 🤷🏻‍♂️

I remember the earliest version of Football Manager, Kevin Toms Football Manager on the Sinclair ZX81, written in basic and you could print out the program.

I printed it out and converted it for a PLC controller system Basic Module at work in Fords, Jersey Marine, something to learn and with a bit of interesting working code at the end. Got bollocked as other maintenance guys were distracted playing lol.

I've lost years of my life playing this game, depending on who you speak to 😂
 
I hear the FM team are looking for a new Swans researcher. The last one quit a couple of months ago (it was me). Get in touch with them if you're interested.
Wow, did you really do research for them?

I'm impressed 😍

I started around the same age as you then. We had our first family PC when I was 13/14 and I had 2 games to go with it. One was a strategy war game about the Napoleonic wars which I was probably too young to understand how to play properly and the other was Championship Manager '93, the second release in the series.

I dread to think how much time I've lost to the various editions since then, although I'm still playing FM20 these days!

Jasper, nice work being the researcher for the Swans for so long, I've heard a fair amount of work goes into it.

I stumbled across the first release. Even though the players names weren't real the game play was the best there had ever been for a football manager simulation and I've been hooked every since.

The next release in November is supposed to be the best one yet.
 
I used to love these games, I haven't played any for a good 15-20 years or so now.
Maybe I will try it out the new one in November :)

Treat yourself to an early Christmas present, you won't regret it 😊
