• 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

Chris D the firm favourite and popular choice with ex-players and the inner core who have worked with him in the past.

pragmatic, insightful tactician, prefers winning with attacking go-fwd pacey football founded on solid defence.  a coach and manager the players, staff and fans could embrace.  

the antithesis of martinball.  a breath of fresh air.

let's hope Reading don't beat us to it.

If Reading are a more lucrative proposition than us, then we really are in the shit.

Has he had a manager's role before? I fear that he could end up in the category of being an excellent number 2 to managers but not able to take a step up?

Paul Clement comes to mind.

Coleman addresses the gist of it for you :

Does anyone know how many clubs are looking for a manager atm? Usually all those clubs who have been relegated, those that have underperformed and have ditched their manager and those whose manager has been poached. Maybe a few others too, just wondering where we would realistically be in the pecking order.

Personally I think the pecking order is dictated by the owner's and their ambitions. If their ambitions are high and matched with the right investment then we get a quality manager but we all know what our owners are like.
 
We're a mid-table Championship side and so will be attractive to a lot of people. But Davies ticks a lot of the right boxes.
