I would like to think that the members of The Zone had a lot to do with this interview happening and it is fantastic that Justin and the club have taken this onboard.

Very well done to all.

Bernie Friend will also be doing a more depth interview on Shrimperscast later this week

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Good start there Justin - many thanks Keep it up!

 

[Strike Force]

Hopefully there's more interesting stuff said on the Bernie interview because that was boring

I bit harsh i feel, at least we are getting communication now.

 

[Shrimperborn1957]

Now, that was not difficult was it.

That's all we wanted.

How refreshing it is to hear from our chairman after decades of nonsense. Justin is astute, measured in what he says and being as open as he can be. We are very lucky to have him and COSU at the helm with Kev & team on the football side. We’ll get there step by step. It will never be enough for some but Rome wasn’t built in a day. Let’s all enjoy the journey as he says

 

[Thundersley Blue]

I thought a big well done. However, it would seem you can't please everybody.

 

[Fairport]

The most refreshing interview from a club owner for decades. The biggest task will be to reach sustainability given the nature of the football industry but at least the club should survive without the constant financial gymnastics of the past years.

Doesn’t take much…

Doesn’t say much, but enough.

On we go.

 

[Whispering Bob]

Good to hear from him, but we didn't really learn too much there......and I'm sure he called me unbalanced at one stage ?!?

Hopefully the more in-depth interview will reveal exactly what restrictions we are facing re rebuilding Roots Hall.

 

[ChicagoShrimper]

Wow I support a proper football club!

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

Assume this thread will be folded into the COSU Communications thread?

Anyway, my take on it was that Justin didn't really want to have to do it, but has done it to stop the noise. Didn't really say too much apart from we know what needs to be done, and we are getting on with it. We need more players but will depend on what Kev wants and we will have a way of getting feedback collected easier. Which will probably enable Matt to stop viewing SZ ten times a day.

A few word salad parts but I'm sure when the plans to redevelop the North and West Stands (including the closed corner bit) have been finalised, a bit more will be said. And in a happier way.

 

[Cricko]

Never assume anything, we are the Dark side.

 

[BEERMONSTER]

Now, that was not difficult was it.

That's all we wanted.

Apparently it was boring so obviously not for some ! Personally no issue and look forward to the bonus of the podcast.

“Let’s stick together, let’s enjoy the journey”

For me, that one closing sentence is exactly how I feel about it. I just can’t help but feel good times are on the way with these guys in charge.

 

[Rock Lobster]

all well and good but where's the Harry Cardwell money gone?

[dannyboy25]

Very Impressive and always comes across well when ever I hear him speak, key takeaways are it's a work in progress and we cant change everything overnight.

 

[annie1954]

Blimey with the club signing players the chairman giving interviews what on earth are the shrimperzone moaners going to do with themselves???? Please let me knows who’s next to have a go at
