Justin Rees podcast appearance

Well Luke im sure you have some questions for him also ,as in your pre seasons predictions i think you nominated Southend United to finish top or was it top 2 .
 
KM says he needs to bring a couple of players in.Can you confirm that there is money available for this.
hopefully a CD in the Barrett mould and a midfield general /take no prisoners type like McCormack was .thats just a beginning ,need an experience GK and a couple of wide men with pace to burn who know how to cross a ball and take an opponent on / run at the defenses.

Won’t get players like that at our level and with our budget, will be inconsistent experienced pros, kids on loan Ala pepple or punts on unproven non league finds.
 
As far as loans go, if we stick to the John still theory of it's best to take players that have already been out on loan, or something similar, then that seems to hold up in practice. Pepple had been out to Grimsby and Bromley, played a total of 17 games and not scored a goal. Grimsby fans in particular didn't rate him at all, but like a fine wine, he seems to have matured with age and I'm glad we are reaping the benefits.

I think you’ll find it was Stan Collymore who said it’s best to take players on loan, who had already been out on loan…
 
Could he define his definition of sustainable?
A). Treading water but financially sound.
B). Sustainable growth.
C). Treating the club as a non-footballing entity and securing the financial stability through development of the car park.
D). Recognising that the regeneration of the ground needs to be in tandem with improving the squad so that any new facilities and seats can be filled by people who see SUFC as a FOOTBALL club first and foremost.

Had lunch with six Mariners on Saturday pre-Wimbledon and they all liked him. Didn’t get much of a look in there is all.
