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

Ah another ex defender, please fix ours Mr Duff. Welcome to Swansea and wish you every success. Hope the yankers back him.

Good luck pal. Wouldn't have been my choice, but clean slate n all that. As others will say....sort the defence/keeper situation cos we cannot take anymore suicidal crap at the back. Hope you get backed.

I'm glad we're sticking with giving a chance to younger coaches. Good luck, Michael.
Welcome aboard - I am hoping for a similar impact where we went from one underwhelming manager in Sousa to Rodgers who took us to the next level needed to get over the line and into the Premier League.
Objectively speaking ours isn't a bad squad, it was just poorly coached with a slavish adherence to possession stats and suicidal football to achieve said stats. Of course we have lost every fullback we had in the squad (except Naughton who signed a new 1 year deal and Ogbeta who was very obviously disliked by Martin) and face the highly likely prospect of losing our number one striker who has pulled in over 40 goals over the past two seasons.
Our summer shopping list right now has to be at least three fullbacks/wingbacks and at least one striker, probably two assuming we end up selling Piroe. An attacking midfielder with an eye for a pass and good set piece taking would also be hugely beneficial.
