This is him as a youngster..
Firstly I don’t have a problem and secondly you are not my mate.
The supporters have been 100% behind him because he is a good player. If he had been **** they would have booed him off the pitch and you wouldn’t be bothered about him leaving.
He played on Saturday, he didn’t play last night – big deal. Why should he be loyal? If he had been rubbish the club would have dumped him – like they did with Maher and Black. Im not slagging them off for that but it works both ways - especially when he has been put on the transfer list without asking.
Maybe Ron has messed up, just like he has with Clarke. He needs to realise Southend United can't draw players to it like Real Madrid can, and perhaps you should view things from a real world perspective and realise not everyone loves this club as much as the fans do.

You mean by being put on the transfer list when he didn’t ask to be? Then when someone comes in for him, as he is on the list, everyone wonders why he wants to leave.
At the end of the day, the bloke needs to do the best for himself but because he did well for us last year people can't accept it.
I don’t see many posts slating the club off for the way they dumped Maher after his outstanding years of service.
I obviously don’t know all the facts, and I doubt if anyone on here does, but if the Club had made him a decent offer to try and encourage him to stay in the first place, he might not be leaving, and its great for Ron to come out and say “we only want players here who really want to play for Southend” but if you offered most of them a big pay rise and the chance to play at a higher level, they would be off like a shot, and I wouldn’t blame them.
Its time some of you people woke up to reality.
Let’s just say he engineered the move, by not signing a new and improved contract he had stuck two fingers up to the club, said he wanted more money then says its not about the money.
Toys came out the pram last Saturday so good old uncle RON had to have a chat to him before the kick off.
If he thought that SUFC was going to let him walk away on free in a couple of years time he was truly mistaken.
We have lost two many players that held out on a contract so RON had no opposition but to sell the spoilt ginger pratt. (sorry to all gingers that are not pratts)
I hope the wheels fall off his car on the way to Charlton.
What are these nuts doing on my desk.
This reminds me of the barry fry saying in the Echo how much he loves the club, only to walk to the station the next day and find out he had signed for the brum.
Bailey good bye good riddens
On the bright side who are we going to sign
I think you might get your wish on all three SARF.I dont like any top players who leave.. Eastwood , Gower, Bailey.. I hope they all fail miserably and regret leaving.. not very mature I know but bothered, its football **** em.. Players like Paynter etc I really want to do well .. again no logic to it thats just the way it is...
Ha - thank you so much for putting that on. Ginger hair and freckle on it and its the spit of him!
He had ages to go on his current contract, why offer him one so soon...Why should he not stick 2 fingers up at the offer???
well if a player has a good season you might and some clubs do, offer an improved deal.
this we did.
do you support southend?
is you brain in the wash?
you offer deals before the contract is up to keep the player, This relevant as most people behind the scenes knew after the donny game he wanted out and he has gone.
With luck we can get a good midfielder in before Saturday

I would love to have Maher back right now. At least he would have worn his heart on his sleeve and given his all for the club. He's twice the man Bailey will ever be and quite frankly Bailey isnt fit to lick King Kev's books.
