[smudgster]

Any link to confirm this?

Not a great example in behaviour from one of the management team it would seem.

I bought the echo but havnt read it yet, saw the names of the players, didnt see about Penny. What was he arrested for?

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Didn't someone say they were there and the person arrested had got in an argument with over-enthusiastic doormen?

Sorry OBL, just read it the old fashioned way, in the Echo and left on the train.

Southend radio reporting Penney involved in an incident on seafront in which a police officer was assaulted.

 

[Pubey]

Shouldn't hit a copper, Penney.

Shouldn't hit a copper, Penney.

That's just dropped.

Front page of the echo.

Incident outside Rendezvous Casino

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Oh Penney, dreadful behaviour.

 

[fredheim_holm]

Players are ;

Prosser - activate extension
White - activate extension but also reward for longer
Worrell - as per White
Timlin - 2 years
Corr - 2 year
Deegan - offer (length not stated)
Atkinson - as Deegan
Thompson - offer, but includes a clause related to his current injury

Personally I'm delighted with the 2 years for Corr and Timlin (Brown describes them as massive players for the Club). I also like the fact that we are offering longer deals to white and Worrell. One a quality player and the other a very misunderstood and underrated influence on the team ! Prosser also adds continued stability.

Man arrested, Penny !

Interesting. Happy with Prosser but I wouldn't take him & Barrett unless we're not hoping to strengthen at the back. Deegan again I can understand but was thinking he might be let go, but trust Brown on this one.

Most worried that it looks like Williams & Bridge aren't being offered new deals? Both players seem to have done well on loan but not yet broken through, would be sad to release them, I'd definitely give them another year each and loan out if not deemed ready yet.

 

[Paddington Blue]

How complicated can the situation with Barrett be? Just offer him a year at least and a coaching role if we can afford it!

 

[fredheim_holm]

The thing with the coaching role is that we don't need a defensive coach. Similar to how people saying we should have Paul Smith as a coach, we don't need another goalkeeping coach either. What we really need is an attacking coach if anything.

 

[mrsblue]

Williams if released will be crazy considering the club gave numerous appearances to wannabes who rarely scored !

Remember the speculation is the club have offered deals,these deals can often be derisory which the player refuses.

Think you're right there mrsb, he will be very cross.

Agreed,

Next season we need to be sharper in front of goal.

Another Kightly scenario !

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Dave Penney was charged with assault, assaulting a Police officer and criminal damage at the casino. Sounds like drink was involved.

That's on the money.

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Are both Williams and Bridge out of contract though?
