• 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

Would make sense all around I think.

Nice steady club for Cooper, less stressful than managing the Swans and something to build on, safe pair of hands for MK and likely to be in with a shout of promotion within a season or two. Plus, whatever deal was done in the boardroom to allow Cooper to walk away would have financial impacts - probably a proportion of his wages until his contract was due to expire, so a move to MK Dons and a restructuring of those terms could help us with the Martin compo?

I might be wrong but I thought MK Dons had some quite good links with the England set up at St George's Park? Deli Alli and a few others came through that way I thought. Good reputation with young players there. I think James Loveridge was offered something there a while back but he'd rather play golf and park football.

You never know in football it’s possible he could go there he’s on peanuts and he hasn’t got nothing lined up, he thinks he’s a Premier League manager so would be a surprise.
 
Can't see him as a PL manager. Could be suited to international football? I've said before I would be happy to see him in the Wales setup.
 
Would absolutely love that after listening the experts tell me how he was going on to bigger and bigger things.
 
It's been quite amusing watching the ever increasing hype over Cooper's future prospects from some quarters in the same summer that he was getting rejected left, right and centre by any club with a job opening.

FWIW I wouldn't bet against him getting the Wales job in the end. His style of football is much more tolerable and effective short bursts so he'd probably do quite well.

I’ve said about the wales job for a while and I actually agree, I think he would be a good fit.

Oh ffs, haven’t they suffered enough?

He""ll only be a PL manager by taking someone up LBH.

This, bottled two play offs and even automatic last season
Thinks hes better than the club and couldnt handle being rejected by top championship and lower prem teams
He'll go back to the England set up or some other international team, his style of football will get him sacked anywhere else
 
They're a slightly deluded bunch, John Terry, Jody Morris and Roy Hodgson have all been mentioned
I think they may go for Kenny Jackett whos at Leyton Orient
