SUFC: The Future It's DONE! COSU Own The Club.

[Colblue]

Genuine congratulations from a Col U fan. I stated before, the situation you were in overrode individual club rivalries and I look forward to one day resuming normal rivalries.
I may retain my membership to this forum for some resumed rivalry banter when the time is right
Have a few beers tonight one and all, you definitely deserve it

They’ve just announced it as breaking news

Late again.

 

[Swiss Tony]

Now the baton can passed. On to our kids and grandkids wonderful.

What an absolute relief to see this. I am making do with an old bottle of sangria left over from hols. Even a glass of water would taste brilliant at the moment

 

[Seaside Shrimper]

Get in! Lets make sure this good feeling lasts all season from the stands! Expecting a carnival atmosphere every game at Roots Hall and sing the boys to promotion!

 

[Che's Left Foot]

With that in mind, we would like to extend our thanks to Ron and Jack Martin, who have acted with integrity and professionalism throughout our dealings

lol

Told my daughter when we were walking home. She cried, I cried.... my wife called me a knob!

That's a bit harsh - it's not your wife's job to call you a "knob" ........... that's what your fellow Shrimpers are here for!

 

[rayleigh dan]

I’m absolutely delighted and relieved it’s finally over the line. Thank you to all the COSU guys for sticking with us when many would have walked away.

Fair dinkum

 

[Chaucer]

Finally!!! Well done COSU and all concerned! Great news to end the week.

 

[Rayleigh Shrimper]

What an incredible feeling this is after all the pain we have had to put up with . We all deserve this and just a massive thanks to COSU , Kev and all staff and Players for sticking with us.. Up the Blues !!!

Excellent news..............Interesting comment from Nick De Marco KC on Twitter, he is a leading Sports Lawyer and has represented Southend for 20 years.

Been checking most of the day for updates on the future and season tickets. I cycle up the shops and it all happens!!! Should have cycled up there a month ago. Close to tears. Can't wait to be back at RH. COME ON YOU BLUES

 

[Jacob Sladder]

One suspects this was added through gritted teeth......

Bit like thanking Harold Shipman for helping look after your mum!!!

So pleased for Southend United that the takeover has gone through.Southend have been a client of mine for the best part of 20 years, and there have been various difficult cases - but nothing compared to the stress of the last few weeks. It’s public knowledge that the National League imposed a bond, requiring the Club to pay £1 million to compete in the forthcoming season. There were times I feared for the future of the Club. So I’m delighted things are now resolved & look forward to the Club going forward & returning to the EFL. Whatever the publicity and profile of acting for big PL club or player, there is nothing quite like the highs & lows of acting for a club, over 118 years old, fighting for survival. Many congratulations to the new owners and to all the staff & fans of Southend but especially to Tom Lawrence, the CEO, who as I know has worked round the clock in very challenging circumstances doing everything to get this result. There shall also, soon, be at least one published decision arising from a hearing which should be of interest to some

Get in!

Although does appear to be a typo in the statement “thanks to Ron and Jack Martin, who have acted with integrity and professionalism”

I think that's just down to COSU having class, something that's going to take a while to get used to after a total lack of it over the past years. Now I think a brisk walk down to the Leigh Brewery is called for ... and a slow weaving walk back.
