  1. Pre Contract Agreements

    Not sure if this is the correct place for this question - or if it has been asked in another thread - at what point can a player walk away from a pre contract agreement? What conditions are in the contracts (are they standard? / each one individually negotiated?) I seem to remember reading...

    Worried about "pre-contracts"

    Is anyone else a bit worried that with some decent performances tonight, there are some players that could probably play at a higher level or are great prospects (i know you can't base it on one pre-season friendly, but probably true nonetheless). Only being on pre-contract terms means they can...

  3. Theory

    Lets say I have loads of money and I want to become a chairman of a football club. Now lets say I don't want to buy a club but build a club from scratch. I have enough money for a 40,000 seater stadium and there would be a decent size fan base as there are no other league club in the vicinity...

  4. Are we never happy as Southend fans

    I often have a read on here on most topics. How ever, we always seem to moan, if its not about Ron, its about us releaseing players, oh hang on its now signing players. IMO Sturrock has done very well to have 7 players lined up, on pre contracts, would any of you go and take a job, at a company...

    Difference in Embargos

    Was reading the Metro on the way in to work this morning, and it had a small piece on Portsmouth's difficulties and the embargo they are currently under. However, it then stated that as they only had 18 listed players they were allowed to bring players in? Now obviously we have a damn sight less...

    2010/11 Squad Numbers

    I know I'm in a minority, but I find the allocation of squad numbers in pre-season quite interesting... Whether it's the tradition of a number associated with a position, or player superstition... etc etc What do we reckon? Based on last year, with the couple of new additions: 01...

    Taxman seeks temporary Admin

    The Taxman has changed tactics in a bid to get Southend United to settle it's debts...In it's latest High Court claim HM Revenue and Customs has applied to put the club into temporary administration over unpaid tax debts of 200k. The application differs from previous attempts to wind the club...

  9. Thank you Steve, for the best 6 years of my Southend supporting life.

    My football club has changed, and I feel sort of empty today. For decades I supported Southend, and people would say "Who?" or "Southampton...?" or (most painfully) "Why???". And I dreamed of the day when I could casually mention my slightly strange affiliation, and people would nod, and look...

    Question Worried of Southend...........SEASON CARDS

    There comes a time and I think it is rapidly approaching if not already here when a persons position within any organisation may become untenable. Bringing an organisation into disrepute by what is said or by action that is not in the best ineterests of the company would and should in most cases...

    Are we in danger of.......

  16. Contracts - Scott Spencer signs one and Steve Tilson wants one

    http://www.echo-news.co.uk/sport/theblues/8224254.Tilly_yet_to_open_contract_talks/ I guess these are the best bits of news we've had in a while. Scott Spencer has put pen to paper and despite lots of people suggesting he may way out Tilly appears to be open to getting a new contract.

    Liverpool Are Doomed - With Or Without Rafa

    Rafa Benitez deserves to be sacked. He’s had six years, hundreds of millions of pounds and Liverpool are worse off now than they were under Gerard Houllier. But if George Gillett and Tom Hicks think that his demise will make any difference to their stricken football club, they are very much...

    Jamie Stuart and Max Porter

    Both have been offered new contracts by Rushden & Diamonds.

  20. What do you expect from Tilly next season?

    We will see how good Tilly really is over the coming few months. He has to try and persuade the best players to stay on reduced contracts when up for renewal. Some have already made their mind up, and are off no matter what he says. He has to rebuild the team and squad under severe financial...
