Sale of Southend United to Justin Rees and his consortium

[dusterman]

How did we find that out ?

Kimura plied him and only him with false information about the Cayman Islands or something and then he spouted it to all and sundry…

 

[Tommy2holes]

All the signs are positive.

I'm sure that if the deal is done and JS and his consortium are new owners, that they will want to let the fans know.

They will also need all the revenue that the fans can muster. I really hope when this takeover goes through that there is a huge surge is support for the club and our magnificent management team and players.

The midseason season tickets will be sold, that's for sure

I'll be getting mine if done

I believe that was the case. A great move to expose him for the charlatan he is. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I don't want to put a damper on things but nothing has been finalised or confirmed, until then I will not open the champagne. It is not just Ron Martin to blame for what has happened it is the state of football in this country as well. Look at Scunthorpe, Sheffield Wednesday, WBA and a lot more. Until sanity reigns and clubs live within their means Southend will not be the last club going through hell. How many clubs went bust before the Premiership came along with the FA's blessing? Fill out Roots Hall tonight, get behind the team and help the players get the three points.

Unfortunately everything is focussed around what is good for the Premiership. The gap to the rest is so huge now Championship clubs near bankrupt themselves trying to get there. L1 clubs who get to the Championship near bankrupt themselves to stay there.

If this goes ahead, and if FF happens and we get that £20m rumoured (btw who on earth would want FF not to succeed?- I will get far more happiness watching him hand back £20m than I would the club being screwed one more time..) then RH will become a stadium that can sustain us into the future. If combined with the current approach of the football dept we will be well placed to succeed where others fail.

Meanwhile regarding football governance and finances talk is cheap I'm afraid. I suspect it will probably end up as something else that was no more than a good idea. I hope I'm wrong.

I think in this whole saga. This is the thing that pleases me most.

The old girl has been shamefully left to decay. The fact they want to stay is music to my ears. Roots hall is our home and hopefully now, it will be for a very long time.

It's tricky to improve but not insurmountable.

Wolfy - who turned out to be pretty much bang on … it’s the way he said it that was the problem almost enjoyed the bad news … but you can’t fault his info he was spot on

But where’s the over concerned and very anxious Joshy boy gone

Sorry mate - what a bummer! I’ve been in your shoes before. Typical! You get sod all holidays and then when you do, something comes along to make you desperate to be home… especially given your own efforts to help get us here.

Still, being abroad you can watch the match in full. Hopefully that will be a decent alternative so you can get a feel for the atmosphere etc

A number of things, but best left on the scrapheap of history (next to Jack and Ron).

Me and a fellow shrimper leaving Diss St early this afternoon. Beers on train and straight to the lay post. Here’s hoping for a party!

This is it. I hope everyone remembers this!

Me too. Whether or not I think I’ll be able to get there for many games.

I’ll get pops, my brother and his kids half seasos too - if the rat is gone, this could be a hell of a great season. Not promotion or anything, clearly, but great crowds, great atmospheres, total unity from boardroom to dressing room to terraces and all points in between. This year could really entrench the love for SUFC in my little neice and nephew!

Not necessarily I'd the debt is paid

4609 tickets sold for tonight so far. It will be interesting to see the final total if good stuff happens.
