  3. Do we just have to accept we're stuck with Ron Martin now?

    I've posted something about this on another thread, but I fear it may get lost so think it needs a thread of its own. I'm concerned that suddenly yet another PR masterstroke - the likes of which we've seen many times before - has occurred and some people think again that everything's rosy and...
  4. Zone Update Box Office

    14 days to go before Ipswich match and we have 7 players. I just called the Box Office to ask what their policy is on getting season ticket refund....just for your guide, season tickets are non-refundable (oooh shock horror) but they will give me an e-mail address to put my request in writing. I...

  6. We Never Wanted the World Cup, Anyway...

    Well, you could see that coming, couldn’t you? Just as soon as the English World Cup bid gets off the ground, the English tabloids have set about dismantling it from afar. The news that Lord Triesman, chairman of the 2018 bid, has claimed that Spain and Russia are colluding to bribe...

    Scudamore Is A Mad Fool

    I hope you’ll ignore the sheen of cold sweat across my face today. I’m not ill, I’ve just been reading those interviews with Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore. It was a most disconcerting experience, rather like jumping into a cab and realising, as the engine roars and the locks...
  8. My Dave Webb Conspiracy Theory......

    I am beggining to think that Dave Webb's arrival at the club as "assistant manager" is a smoke screen for a more deeper role at the club. Let me explain my thought....Webb has previous Chief Exec status at L1 Yeovil, SUFC are up S&*t street and desperately need new investors- Dave Webb has...

    Storrie

    Was looking at Peter Storrie's wikipedia. Turns out he was Chief executive of Southend United in July 1999 on a salary of £120,000 p.s. Never knew that although i'm probably the only one haha.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Storrie

    The Price Is Wrong

    I think it’s time to have a look at that Fit and Proper Persons test. The existing document focuses heavily on issues of past fraudulent behaviour, but that’s not good enough. Given everything that has happened at Portsmouth and the horrors that David Sullivan and David Gold have inherited at...

    Nothing To Love At City Either

    I was delighted to see Manchester City lose this weekend. How appalling is that? It made me feel dirty. It is a truly sad man who takes pleasure in the misfortune of others, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to feel anything other than contempt for Roberto Mancini's men. They were well...

  18. Bobby Moore & Vic Jobson

    Random find from the Observer about our one time manager and England legend Bobby Moore. Apologies if this has been posted before but it's interesting IMO. History will always consider Moore a managerial failure, and his record at Southend was unimpressive: relegated to the Fourth Division in...
