COLLYMORE -MARTIN SUMMARY

I echo many fans by saying thanks @stan collymore after last nights despair, my 17 year old son was in tears, thats how much it hurts this is a breath of fresh air and although a long process its a start and with news of the CEO and Ron meeting next Tuesday already some progress has been made

As for the protest, we will be their on the 08.05.21, maybe by then there will be further positive news, but the fact is we shouldnt have been in this position in the first place and thats why a show of support for @Save our Southend , a show of strength is important as a fan base. Im looking forward to just being near Roots Hall and having a sing song with fellow shrimpers. Lets be positive, get the message across in the right way and show hoe much this club means to us all (but also in safe manner)
 
Thank you Stan for taking the time, it was my hope that Ron may listen to someone with your knowledge and experience in football. and be willing to accept your offer of help. It sounds like he did, so credit needs to go to Ron too.

Dare we have hope for a brighter future?
Agree credit to Ron let’s hope that he views this as a way to pull SUFC supporters and club into a collective that prospers
 
Hang on. What is that strange feeling I am having. I think its called positivity about this terrific club of ours.

Hopefully it is the first baby step towards making some future happy memories. Much needed as my little old brain is struggling to recall past glories these days.

Cheers Stan, we owe you a pint or several!
 
Thanks Stan, sounds like a positive first meeting.

As someone else mentioned, let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Ron has got to like the proposed person and the proposed person has to like Ron, plus the financials have to make sense for both.

Can I ask if the long term sustainability of the club was discussed? Ron's succession plan? Income from new stadium etc?
 
Stan did you feel that Ron would be more than happy to pursue the property side and allow others to help on the footballing side? Probably not a fair question to ask at this stage I guess.
 
Stan you have achieved in that 50 minutes much, much more than I thought could be achieved. And that’s not in any way a put-down whatsoever, I just didn’t believe Ron would be open to many - if any - suggestions on accepting help and how best to move the club forward. The update you’ve now posted is fantastic and I’m sure gives all of us hope that the future will be much brighter than the present.

You gave us so many great memories on the pitch Stan, hopefully with your help we can now turn this club around. Thank you. UTB!
 
not to put a damp quid on the protests aimed for next sat .But such action may just may under mind what stan is trying to do .I like to say Stan need the help of every supporter to make Ron martin sit up and take notice .The club Is in need of a CEO .Please do shoot me down im on the side of everyone of you in the get rid of Ron but from what i have just read its not going to happen .But with Stans help the club may turn the corner .
 
It does sound very promising and well done for getting this far.
Lets not be negative here as the man is at the least willing to listen but, i will still hold my breath.

I think the planned demonstration will emphasise the urgency and importance of what Stan is doing.
 
Hi Stan,
My god he actually listened , well thats gotta be a big first step so fair play to you Stan for all you have achieved so far, the idea of you being an ambassador for the club has got to be a boon in itself after all!!
Im still a bit sceptical about Rons motives as we have all heard a lot of crap over the years but hey lets stay posistive and long last hes willing to be open to ideas.
so for now Ill just say thank-you Stan and lets hope this is the start of some better days.
Hope your mums ok
Rememeber guys and Gals Together we are United
SOUTHEND UNITED !!!!!

Check post #17 on page 1 ?

The protest is also about change, not get rid of Ron.
