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

Pretty mad.
When you consider that two of those transfers alone add up to almost 100m euros (Gylfi to Everton and Bony to Man City) it says a lot about how we rarely got top dollar for our players, especially before and after Birch's stewardship. The periods outside of their stewardship saw many players either run down their contracts and leave for free or sold for whatever the old owners could get to line their pockets.
Signings on unsaleable contracts were also a significant problem and forced our hands in a number of circumstances to sanction sales of players for fees we would never otherwise consider just to keep the lights on. In this respect Huw carries a significant amount of blame, the likes of Bony and Ayew not having relegation clauses in their salaries crippled us for almost a decade and you could argue that only now are we starting to show signs of recovery.

Just goes to show how badly run we have been since 2015 really. Without the stupid, crippling wages we gave to several players whilst in the PL, the kind of money we raked in on sales should have been enough to allow us not to run the club on vapours, as ended up happening.
We may not have done a Reading or a Sheffield Wednesday and for that we should always be thankful, but that's still not to detract from how poorly Jenkins and then the Chuckle Brothers ran things.

You're absolutely right so I've edited your quote to make us all feel better.
