Sale of Southend United to Justin Rees and his consortium

[onceknownasrab]

Really nobody gives a **** about The Rat anymore. I doubt many would carry out their potential threats though anyway but you seem to be missing the point of anger out there atm. He is killing our club!

This isn't a game of lets be nice to him, it's about our survival...**** him.

That is a disgraceful response. We all want him out but, regardless of the level of anger the threats are unacceptable. You should be setting an example for site members. A good one that is.

No, I stated the threats are just that empty threats as far as I know, but we have no control over people, they do what they think. Do you really think we are promoting some sort of violence?

That is ridiculous on its own without your own post belittling us for not being some godlike evangelists, who have people in the palm of our hands.


Jeeezzz.

How on earth you try find a way to try to defend the rat in all this is beyond comprehension. Open your eyes.

Hardly a defensive, just being objective to the current position.

 

[GBJ]

A deal finally being agreed? Not saying it will be but negotiations continue and small steps are being made, so not completely beyond the realms of possibility. Never a bad thing where RM is concerned to expect nothing though!

I am reliably informed that Ron is still trying to find the money himself & has been making calls this week. It’s unclear whether this will prove fruitful, but what it tells me is that he isn’t treating JR’s bid(s) as his only option.

He does say he's playing devil's advocate!

The only outfit/person willing to give the rat a U Boat would be Wonga.

I just can't see anyone willing to loan him a penny given his reputation.

Christ.

 

[cerbera45]

So what was the Rat (and son of Rat) doing at the Emirates today?

probably mates with Daniel Levy.

Even if he does pay the debt, it’s just more can kicking. FFS rat, no one’s going to pay what you deem suitable, take a hint, learn to compromise, and do one

That doesn’t mean the sale won’t happen though. It could hinder it tho, as it would take the time pressure element away

Maybe he has finally realised that no buyer is going to pay off the debt he has created and the only way a sale can happen is when he has settled the debt himself.

Him acquiring the funds is a different matter, especially with staff wages due as well.

 

[dusterman]

Working

What would that involve exactly? Tapping people up for money?

maybe that’s why he was at the Emirates today - had his begging bowl out whilst lording it up in the executive boxes

Mad as a box of frogs.

 

[Cricko]

Death by a thousand cuts has nothing on us.

 

[Shrimp and two veg]

Constantly trying to buy more time to get his pound of flesh out of this club, destroying everything in the process. Sickening. Get him out

 

[BEERMONSTER]

Have you taken the Shrimpers Trust survey? That question was asked at the end and it's useful to know how people feel about this.

I know its very much 'Hobsons choice' but if Administration occurs sooner than later, given the upcoming due wages and the spector of Eon looming large, I am deeply concerned for the effects it will have on the players and Management team. We know all the shared adversity has formed the 'glue' that keeps it all together, but further point deductions surely would be a sledgehammer to the fighting spirit. Relegation becomes a realistic outcome, what motivation can there be found to keep everyone engaged, yes I have no doubt about their professionalism but this is about emotional engagement and mental wellbeing. They go from looking up a steep hill to climbing a mountain. For me Administration is very much a poisoned chalice. That's why I answered the Trusts Survey as not in favour, but I am realistic in it's acceptance if it comes.

As horrible as the other outcomes are, the thought of the can being kicked further down the road while RM pursues his FF dream is awful.

 

[Shrimper]

Another adjournemount would be just another cut. Just sell and **** off

 

[tommy tucker]

No other adjournment will be allowed. He can't keep doing that time and time again It time he get stopped taking the **** of these judges
