• 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

Should it turn out that the photo of LW at Bristol airport is not a generated AI photo I will take my hat off to him. I don't think there have been many ex-footballers or head coaches who would have placed himself in the public domain. Best of luck Luke hope you get back in the game stronger and wiser.
 
He always has been a good guy and nobody will argue that fact.
Leave it at that.

The holier than thou tone, mainly. Hard up Luke doing honest work to put bread on the table to feed little Timmy, only a heartless wretch could find anything humerous about this etc. give over.

No idea why you’ve taken it that way.

It’s good that he’s gone out to earn a wage and people wrongly take the piss. As has happened to others. No one is saying that he’s hard up or struggling to live. It’s just a bloke doing some honest work and people pointing and laughing is a bit childish really, just because he used to choose who kicked a ball around a field for a club you support.

I don’t know what his payout was but I doubt he’s set for life, as someone else said it’s probably enough to buy a house mortgage free.

I guess it depends what the terms of his payoff were. Some get a lump sum, others remain on the payroll for the duration of their contract until they find alternative employment.

I thought the bloke was a bit of a prat as a manager but can't fault him here. As some have said, it probably beats sitting in the house going stir crazy. Not sure how it'll look to prospective employers within the game mind.
 
Met him countless times working around the club on media duties… absolutely lovely bloke, wish it worked for him but he was really struggling towards the end of his time here… the stress of it was really getting to him.

Fair play to him for not sitting on his arse at home and doing something worthwhile.
 
Well done to Luke, his work ethic is unquestionable, it didn't work out for him with us in the same way most of us have had jobs that weren't right for various reasons.
 
I really liked Williams when he joined. A really positive, open personality, impossible not to warm to. Then he clearly struggled to get buy in to his ideas, probably mainly because he had the wrong players to implement his game plan. At that point he lost the plot, starting with the home game against Portsmouth where he had a meltdown at pitch side. I hope he reflects on that and works on the mental side of things. He could do no worse than talk to Bellamy about changing his mindset. He showed at Notts County that he has some good capabilities, but he needs to learn from his time with us.
