• 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

2 billion? He’s obviously gonna crack the Championship.
 
His mother is worth 7 billion according to Forbes
When rich people buy clubs just for something to do it doesn't always end well, especially when they get bored and look for a new toy
Worked out ok for Chelsea though, so far

Blackburn , Sunderland etc
Lots of clubs have billionaire owners but they don't seem to like spending their money, Cardiff and Bristol city for example
 
Cardiff been promoted twice and just outside play offs now
Bristol City going reasonably well
Most clubs thrive on investment
In many sports there are salary caps to improve smaller clubs chances of success and increase the level of competition for fans or neutrals
 
Cardiff aren't owned by a Billionaire. At current £/$ exchange rates he's just over half that.

He must have lost some then, he was definitely a dollar billionaire at least on Forbes once
