• 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

Joey Allen into a coaching role ..

Fergie used to heavily support his former players when they started management careers by loaning out his up and coming youth players. For a while it became one of the reasons to give them their first opportunities in management.

If Joe gets a job like that then League Two would be a decent level to send those who are too good for the u21s to get first team experience under the eyes of someone who knows how we want to play.

I don’t think that worked for Fergie. I can’t think of one of his former players who’ve successfully made the jump into management. Solskjaer is probably the best. Jury’s still out on Carrick, but he’s not pulling up trees.

The likes of Keane and Robson had limited success and who knows how Giggs' career would have gone if not for his off the field behaviour. Robins has done well outside the PL. Blanc won plenty of league titles in France. Probably the two most successful, certainly in longevity, were Bruce (476 games as manager in PL!) and Hughes.

Bryan Robson?
Mark Hughes?

They may not have reached the top of the game but they certainly had helping hands from Fergie when they started out
 
First time manager being announced next week.... so is it Joey.....
 
It's not Joey Allen, but it's a Welsh man, and its his first management job!
