SUFC: The Future Consortium and Ron exchange contracts... so when will they be signed??
- Thread starter Cricko
- Start date
Our hopes and visions for the rebirth of Southend United, plus any plans published by the consortium for discussion
The planning committee sitting today makes you wonder how many spare days the Cliff Pavilion had available to host a big Q&A.

A few dates here and there with the biggest gap next week, but then the odd date throughout February

Doubt it - no planning application has been submitted has it?

Reading Chris Phillips article in the echo it’s saying the plans will be rubber stamped by the council in February at which point the consortium will take control , so that answers a lot of questions

It's not a planning application as such that needs to be rubber stamped, it's the principle of developing another 500 houses on that site. It will need to be legally watertight so as to prevent problems further down the line when full planning permission is sought. The council will be doing background work on this at the moment, which takes a few weeks, then it will need to be ratified in public by committee.
That's how I assume it will work anyway, having covered plenty of council business during my time with the Echo.

think you will find that just before christmas The leader of the council met withRon and the new planed move of the propetys from roots to fossetts had been agreed So i guess that is the planing that is needed .

I think that's the financing agreement - not planning.

Just seeing if there is any update on this? All the talk seems to be that it will be a 'formality', however until the sale is actually completed there's still the fear that something could go horribly wrong at the 11th hour. So much positivity going on and I'm loving it, but will only be able to completely relax when that 'sale completed' club statement comes out...Reading Chris Phillips article in the echo it’s saying the plans will be rubber stamped by the council in February at which point the consortium will take control , so that answers a lot of questions
We should absolutely not, thank you. Angst has now been transferred to standing room only!

We’re now into February and everything has gone really quiet on the completion of the sale of the club.
Can the Shrimpers Trust or Anna Firth put pressure on the Council/the rat to outline what exactly needs to happen to get the sale completed and what the timeline is for this?
I think they’re all content now the club has survived, however the real business of rebuilding can’t continue until the deal is finally and completely over the line. There are also businesses and charities that are waiting patiently to be paid.
I’m fed up with it dragging on and on, and also fed up with the radio silence from our local council. I wrote to Councillor Matt Dent about this several weeks ago, as he was very vocal about saving the club. I didn’t even receive the courtesy of a reply.

That was one of my questions for the consortium, wasn't answered at the evening so should receive a written response at some point. But as the consortium are 'passengers' at this point (ie they are not party to the agreement) not sure they'll answer fully.
