The Jacks

Mon Aug 10, 2026 12:43 pm

Seem to be having quite the ruthless summer window, academy boys like Cullen, Cooper (who was once supposedly better than Rubin :lol: ), and more surprisingly Congreve shown the door. Noticing a few of their fans on social media a bit worried about the direction they seem to be taking. None of their signings apart from the permanently injured Stewart seem to have any experience in English football.

I had quietly tipped them to do disappointingly well this season, but a growing part of me thinks there could be a glorious disaster on our hands

I think they'll do quite well. Manager seems to be good.

Fingers crossed, would love them to decline further :thumbup:

Their coach keeps saying didn't bring in Stewart as replacement striker almost trying to convince himself he's not going?
But suspect he'll go if 15m,+ is offered

Swansea turned down a bid from Hull for him today, not been reported how much it was though.

Birmingham's manager, after playing the Jack's last week, says no team will have more possession that Swansea at the Swansea.com stadium this season.

Wonder if we'll have something to say about that?
