Breaking News Kensdale gone

[Richard Hearn]

Probably a good job for him our current squad is as it is and it wasn’t in the days of Deegan, Timlin and Barry.

Or Big Roy

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Such sad news. Cant condone what he did and it left the club with no where to go. However i hope he gets the help he needs. Doubt he will be playing football again certainly not at this level

The fact that Lee Hughes, Ravel Morrison and Mason Greenwood all went back into football after their previous tells me he will have a new club at some point in the not too distant future.

I feel sorry for Kevin Maher, so now we've lost a key Centre-Back and a key Centre Forward. Some people are still trying to figure out why we're currently struggling.

 

[southendkid]

On the off chance we have a target that we can't quite meet the demands of, could this free up some money in the transfer budget?

 

[Booma]

I won’t confirm what he has done, but I’ve seen suggestions since this broke that it’s for throwing matches/match fixing.

I can confirm, it’s 100% NOT to do with match fixing or throwing matches.

We’re perfectly capable of losing for free, no need to pay us

 

[shrimpzfordinner]

what are the rumours of what he did?

 

[Shrimper95]

Hopefully he’s done nothing that could get the club in trouble at a later date?

And hopefully it’s not something that destroys the good atmosphere that was/is in the squad!

 

[Shrimper95]

what are the rumours of what he did?

I’ve seen stuff from match fixing, sleeping with Jack Bridges missus and stealing from team mates to fund gambling but who knows if any of them are true!

 

[Target man]

The speculation needs to stop. It's just damaging to others. Just accept he's gone, like the club have, move on and get behind the boys.

 

[thenobster]

It has to be something ‘legal’.. speculation of match fixing, drugs, arrest for any reason. Non of our business.. let’s move on.

Definitely.

The Kensdale situation is one thing, but how anyone could share a dressing room with the likes of Greenwood, Hughes or that prick Luke McCormick, **** knows.

Maybe a good note to close the thread on?

 

[Roger The Alien]

Rumours on Southend United Facebook group that he stolen moneys from others players wallet, in the changing room, when no one is watching.

Best time is to close this thread ….

Genuine question then. We signed Crowther, Gubbins, Waldron and Walker before Cardwell and Kensdale departed.

Wind isn’t going to challenge Gus.
Hillson isn’t going to challenge Collin.

If they are not good enough to fight for the position or replace them, what is the point in signing them? It’s poor recruitment and poor tactical set up to blame for our woes.

When the ‘football department’ was set up with John Still, they said there was a whiteboard in the training ground with 20-40 names on at any given time. Ron was the blame for 3 years of no signings, what’s the excuses going to be now?

 

[CrippsCorner]

Surely just injury cover? Though you don't want players coming out without any minutes under their belt... maybe they were just extremely cheap!

Wind is probably more one for next season, who will for now fill in when Gus is injured/suspended. That seems a sensible addition.

Hillson is our reserve keeper. He enables us to have a keeper on the bench.

Waldron and Walker are currently injured. Gubbins and Crowther are playing.

 

[Uncle_Rons_Teapot]

Shame but we don't need tea leafs around the club

 

[leeblue]

Best player gone...for nowt.
Hope he gets himself sorted off the field before he gets another club.

We have signed players though (granted we could still do with more). Any Manager at our level would think their wildest dreams have come true bringing in Bonne & Moncur. Also bought in KAF and Pepple recently took. Now if the players aren't good enough or we don't have the management to get the best out of them....that's an entirely different question!

Hope Kensdale sorts himself out and finds another Club. Image he will have to take a big hit and go part time at first.

I don't think the problem we're having currently is a lack of money for transfers, given that most players at our level don't cost much. The issue is the lack of available players who are genuinely going to enhance us, which relates to the time of year.
