I wouldn't say it's good news!

I think he was being sarcastic.

Ron Martin please go away......you are killing this club with ******and sod all to back it up!

 

[DTS]

Cant actually recall the last time I saw some positive news come out of our club?

 

[Shrimper]

Not good. Either he's got a job lined up elsewhere or he's fed up and not been paid for a while and left.

 

[Tampa Blue]

Heard that it was a job in North London

 

[TrueBlue]

Do we need him though as head of coaching when we now have coughlan?

The Stadium deal 'is just days away'!

This is true, I think people are a bit quick to jump on anything as necessarily "bad" news.

 

[The Blue Stig]

No news is good news any news is bad !! Simples

 

[McNasty]

Seems like that is spot on at the moment.

Quite a big loss to the academy set up by all accounts....

 

[bucket&spade.f.c]

Oh well thats our youth system down the pan

 

[Cricko]

Wasn't he head of the centre of excellence?

 

[teabee1]

Are prople not allowed to leave our club for opportunity elsewhere without everyone jumping on the bad news bandwagon? From what I have seen none of the posters so far actually know why he left but we are already well on the way to another thread about the demise of Southend United!!!

You clearly don't understand the implications of this happening.

It may well be a combination of Both. Tampa has commented that Luke could be heading to a Club in North London and if that is the case then he has taken a very good opportunity. However as things stand with the money issues it possibly didn't take him long to leave here. So a bit of both sides of the coin.

I believe so yes. Shame for a few of my Manor lads who were picked up. All the parents said he was superb. Perhaps Dave Johnson will take over now.

If I'm allowed to say yes Luke Hobbs was the Head of the Centre of Excellence. Not to sure why trueblue suggested this deaparture may not be too much of a problem because of Graham Coughlan being here. Don't think he'd move into the CEO post but I guess Football is a funny old game at times.
