    Lets get behind tilly!

    When you look back over the season the league does not lie does it? We have showed brief glimces of skill and some games of total domination but in reality we have flattered to deceive and been generally very poor. We can all point the finger (including me) and it does not matter how we gloss it...

    Worrying Soundbite from Tilly

    Tilly's interview on BBC Essex was a little conerning for the following statement (I can't remember the exact words). "League 2 is tough, and its going to be difficult to attract players to the club" Does this mean no cash next season.

    Where will we finish next season in League 2?

    Given that relegation to League 2 is imminent where do you think we'll finish next season in League 2 and why? IMO it seems obvious that we'll struggle to keep hold of some of our better players over the close season season.Also given the well documented late payment of players for much of this...

    Buttons

    Just head Ron getting a bit wound up on BBC Essex about a comment made by the presenter who said Tilly was given "Buttons" to attract players. Ron seemed to get really irate about that. He never said, yeah we never had a war chest or anything. He kept banging on about us having a high wage...

    Articles Typed Up (For those who don't have access to them)

    For those of you that do not have access to the Echo, I have typed up some of the sections in the paper. I hope these are of interest to someone, and also hope it's OK to post them here. If there not - remove them.. I have posted them in the Echo thread, but people might not see them in there...

  6. I hope we go down

    Just as any other Blues supporter, the thought of staying up still lingers, but if my reading of the situation is anywhere near right then I feel it will be for the best if we go down. Lg 2 is not as strong and with the current financial upheavals we could probably better afford a possibly...

    British Suicide Bombers

    British suicide bombers are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the amount of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda management have so far failed to produce an agreement. The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the...

    Your preferred vision for Southend

    Jim Worsdale's Echo article has prompted me to wonder what direction Southend Council should be steering the town. Vote or add your own vision including the type of people you would like to attract.

  14. Will the flood gates open now?????

    Everything that I have read regarding the "debt" owed by the club mentions only the HMRC debt, which is in relation to unpaid VAT. It is inconceivable that this is the ONLY debt the club has, but it IS the only one referred to as being in line for settlement on Friday. So, knowing a little bit...

    The swelling band of English football clubs in crisis has a new member and it's my own team, Southend United.

    Question Something I have never managed to get my head around

    Just a question, the last couple of years with relegation from the championship the accounts show losses of about £2.5m a year? During that time we have had a squad of around 18/19 players, and attendances averaging 8000. According to RM these players are on very good wages (even championship...

    Why are transfers so hard to conclude in the modern era and where does it leave us?

    As it's all doom and gloom around here (perhaps a little unsurprisingly) I thought a topic to discuss in the meantime might be in order. So I thought we could discuss WHY transfers are so hard to conclude nowadays. Here's my lot: For a start, I think it's due to escalated prices. The top teams...
