[Grayson]

hearing players still not paid and might not be for a couple of weeks still. also that teams now sniffing round players and daggers in particular after Miley.

Is the source you are hearing from this tweet or have you had the same information separately?

He'll be forgiven once he hands SUFC over to new, competent and capable ownership.

Hopefully. We cannot take it as read that the next custodians of our club, should we get there, will be just that. RM has proven to be an appalling custodian (especially the last decade or more), but that doesn't preclude the next to be worse. It is possible and something we need to be mindful of.

How would this London shrimper know anything like this? Friends with one of the ballers ?

Cav didn't have his best game on Saturday either. Stands to reason if he knows he could be gone very soon and who could blame him. Breaks my heart to say that but it's the reality.

We used to play Dagenham in preseason games and were a much bigger club who were visiting a lower league/non league club for fitness, now look at us!

I said this on another thread when Daggers lost Walker that they should be looking at Cardwell. It's now Miley. We cannot complain one bit. They are a better option than us now, end of. They are well run club who have a great reputation in the pyramid. Things we can only dream of.

Like many of my fellow shrimpers, I've run out of things to say about it now. I don't even have it in me to moan about Ron, it's a pointless task. It's just so sad and disheartening all round. All I can do is support the team as much as possible in the remaining fixtures, however long they last for.

Have heard they can leave after 14 days, so on Wednesday.

I read somewhere that its after the second missed payment, however 14 days seems much more fair to the player. Wish I could find where I saw 2 payments.

Yet he remains financally viable and on target to be a billionaire next year. I'd say her is doing ok generally. Agreed £15m for Thurrock sounds little steep!

No when he knocks there ground down and builds houses on it it’s not

 

[TJC]

No when he knocks there ground down and builds houses on it it’s not

Correction for accuracy:
No when he knocks there ground down and puts caravans on it it’s not
If thats his game, I suspect it won't take him nearly 25 years to get there

yes he is

Clearly this must be why the players are meeting with Ron this afternoon.

Hopefully it is the second payment.
This'll be the biggest test of the coaching staff's reign, persuading the players to stay!

As they'll be leaving their contracts outside of the transfer window, the opportunity for them to move to an EFL club is at least off the table I believe.

Give Kev a text mate maybe he can shed some light

if they are free agents cant the then be signed by EFL. sure i saw that Everton are trying to bring in a couple of free agents

i do chat with him on twitter but of course he is very careful what he says

Pretty sure they would be granted a status same as players released before the transfer window closed, I.e they can sign as a non contracted player to any team

 

[Maldon Blues]

Only if you leave your contract during a transfer window. Whether that differs under the circumstances, I've no idea.

 

[Shrimper]

Believe FL clubs wouldn't be able to register them

If the rumour is true that Ron is waiting until last minute because of the interest on the bridging loan, he needs to ****ing draw it down pronto

If we end up with a phoenix club, we'll be hoping for a cup tie against clubs at a higher level... like Great Wakering Rovers, Canvey, Concord and many others.
