contracts

  1. Slight concern

    Hi Guys. First of all this effort is not designed to provocate nor put anyone down. My concern is there has been no talk of new offers being made for Barker, Mohsni and Grant when there current deals expire at the end of this season. Also the contracts of Hall, Ferdinand amongst others are up...
  2. Steve Tilson

    Breaks my hearts to have to post this in 'Ex-Shrimpers'.... Now the Tilson-era is over, what do you consider to be his greatest achievement at Southend United Football Club?
  3. the problem as I see it

    Like most passionate fans supporting their own team, we tend to be blinkered, into our players/managers ability. Whilst many on here might think such and such is "class" etc etc, the reality is that most of southends players , are really players plying their trade in the lower leagues or worse...

    Football Manager 2012

    Lincoln's fans are unhappy with Tilson not getting players in!

    Lincoln City have only 10 players under contracts, with few on transfer list, not one new signing haven't arrived yet .... I starting to see why we got Paul Sturrock in charge before July 2010 for his contacts, to build a team from scratch...

    Question Is there a pecking order for new contracts?

    Observing that Hall and Sawyer have signed new contracts and that they may be considered as amongst two of our most promising players, it lead me to thinking whether there may be a pecking order for players to sign on the dotted line. If there is...........who will be the last one of the present...

    Players signing on

    So we have had Ferdinand, Hall and now Sawyer sign contracts/extensions. If we are in such a bad state, players not getting paid on time again etc etc, why are players signing contracts/extensions. Is it really as bad as we are led to believe? The 3 players that have signed are a good calibre...

    Who would you get rid of over the summer?

    It's getting towards that time when discussions are taking place with regards to new contracts. If you was the man in charge, who would you be showing the door this summer? I'll start with: Evans Bouzid Soares Phillips Herd James-Lewis (Harsh, but PS obviously does not rate him) Gilbert...
  9. Developmental Contracts

    With the news that we have offered 6 contracts to youth team players, does it mean the end for the four players who are currently already on developmental contracts? Can anyone shed any light on whether Adetayo Osifuwa, Merrick James-Lewis, Marcus Milner or Kyle Asante deserve to get a pro...

    Haye vs Klitschko

    So with the contracts finally signed, finally we'll get a chance to see what David Haye is made of. Personally I've thought for a while, Haye is overrated at Heavyweight. This will be an immense test for him. Thoughts?

    2011/12 Squad and Contracts

    Thought it would be interesting to see where we stand for next season contracts wise. GK: Evans 2011 Morris 2011 RB: Clohessy 2012 Comminges 2011 LB: Gilbert 2012 Herd 2011 CB: Mohsni 2012 Barker 2012 Phillips 2012 Coughlan 2011 Prosser 2011 CM: Anthony Grant 2012 Craig Easton 2011 Kane...
  12. update on Ilkeston Town

    Since the news of Ilkeston's demise appeared on the site and we all need to keep an eye on what happens when the HMRC judgment finally goes against a football club....... here's a quick update. The club were taken over by a locally based sports education company (SR Education who also do...

    Pre-Match Thread Southend united v Gillingham JPT trophy 1st round

    Well what a difference a year makes. This time last year we would have been not overly bothered about this tournemant and would have been eyeing up another shot at the play-offs and a route back into the championsip. Gillingham respectively would have been looking to finish comfortably...

    Stobart news

    Trucking group Stobart, whose Eddie Stobart lorries are a common site on Britain's motorways, said its business had made a strong start to the year thanks to new multi-million pound contracts with Irn Bru maker AG Barr and Tesco. The haulier, which is recasting itself as a transport group by...

    How much can we read into contract lengths?

    I was really interested to hear Phillips say he was on a 2 year deal. I thought he would be our third centre-half, but now I'm not so sure. Paul Sturrock needed to assemble a squad quickly, so he may have had to compromise on quality in order to get bodies in. There appear to have been lots of...

    Bit quiet on the embargo front....

    I expected a big announcement on the OS followed by a pic like this of everyone signing their contracts!: PICTURE CREDIT TO http://www.southendunitedpics.co.uk/ Anyone been in touch with the FA again to find out when it will be lifted?

    Paul Sturrock Can do No Wrong!

    ..... Well he can't can he? If it's not doing a great job to keep one player satisfied (Granty), or showing great determination to get stuck into a sticky project, or his ability to bring in a whole new team of signings, or his ability to show he has thought of using one extra formation, then I...

    Tommy set to say goodbye

    ...is the headline the OS chose to use to feature tonight's game at Salisbury. Going Widdout Go on admit it, with the blows we've got used to taking lately, the parlous state of our club and the abundance of pre-pre-contract pre-contracts, that's got to be the most insensitive headline yet...
