Sale of Southend United to Justin Rees and his consortium

[Jack_23]

Working till 5 so preferably want news closer to 5 as possible

 

[Medway Blue]

Is something happening today?

Likely to be, yep.

Justin Rees on the pitch before kick off with a fold out table and some fake paperwork. Old school to seal the deal in front of the faithful.

I’d settle for Justin taking the mic and starting a song….

Looking as youthful as ever John!

 

[Ian Benjamin]

Da

Likely to be, yep.

I do so hope you are right. UTB

 

[M_Simps]

Likely to be, yep.

Are we talking 51% or 99% likely?! Not sure I (or my F5 key) can take it!

What a day today is going to be. Come on Southend we are getting our club back and hopefully ending this extended period of torture we have all been through. Every single one of us deserve this and Maher, the management, players and back room staff must be feeling amazing today.

Let’s hope Ron doesn’t **** it up at the last minute as that would be the comedowns of all comedowns.

Can’t wait to be at roots hall tonight!! Come on you bluesssss.

It's difficult to get excited when you know one man can ruin it all.

One thing this saga has shown is how the fans have come together. If this deal gets pushed through I think we might find some public interference in Fossets from our fans who want to punish Ronald for the mental anguish he has caused us. Can’t imagine he’ll just get it easy, far too much has gone on. You don’t do what he has done to people and get to walk off without a care in the world.

From the day Ron arrived he was always going to have an earner from SUFC or the club would go bust. That hasn't changed and applies even today.

After the takeover we will still be relying on his £20m funding. That wont happen if he doesn't get his houses at FF.

People need to accept that and move on. I was fan for 25 years before Ron, 25 years with Ron and I'm aiming for another 25 after. No one should be wasting their time on Ron after he has gone.....I certainly won't, more important things to do including meeting up with good friends and cheering our team on tonight.

What we should all do is try and get to the ground by 7:30. The boys in the West in full voice before KO and the Hall rocking.

 

[danbowen]

I really hope the media team are very creative. Announcing it upside down, getting players and staff involved and ending with Justin Rees being revealed in a kangaroo outfit wrestling a crocodile before being unmasked like he has been on masked singer!

 

[londonblue]

Likely to be, yep.

Well nothing's happened yet so you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

(Thought I'd get in first before some idiot says that and means it.)
