Sale of Southend United to Justin Rees and his consortium

[Spaceman Spiff]

Right that’s tickets for me and Dad sorted. Let’s hope we do better against Oxford City than we did against Fylde (the last game we went to)!

 

[OldWilliam]

I am sure the meeting at 4pm will be where Ron will handsomely reward all back office staff for going months without pay. I mean he did promise after all

 

[rowe23]

he is in Spain today im told

So is @TrueBlue coincidence I think not, TrueBlue you are part of the consortium aren’t you.

 

[Hampshire Shrimp]

I think that this is the positive news coming from down under

Southend United FC branded Didgeridoos would sell well in the club shop

 

[tommy tucker]

Hope he has the sangria on tap

If he is in Spain no take over tonight then

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Surge in away ticket sales !!!

 

[JAL]

If he is in Spain no take over tonight then

What are you talking about?

 

[Mad Cyril]

There is a flight from Amsterdam into Southend today? ( I am kidding I don't think he will be on that)

He will probably be on the ferry enjoying a few continental strength lagers.

 

[londonblue]

Is it a rat per chance?!

Is JR the Pied Piper?

 

[shrimperjon]

If he is in Spain no take over tonight then

why? He will have his legal team working on the deal and with modern technology will being constant contact. I doubt what will be announced tonight will be the full takeover, just what is needed at the moment to get us past tomorrow

Exactly. Nobody surely expects the deal to be completed, shares transferred and Ron to be gone today??

We're weeks away from that. Best case scenario is Sold subject to DD, winding up petition settled.

Still cause for celebration IMO.

Obviously not heard of Teams or video calling.

The deal is done, just not the sale.

 

[Target man]

You won't get anything from Justin at this point, but you would expect a club statement on the lines of

" we've accepted a bid to sell the club and the transfer of ownership is in the process of being concluded over (said period of time)"

Short and sweet.

 

[fredheim_holm]

If it drags on another few weeks it’ll be painful but we’ve held on this long so might as well hold on a little longer.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I’ve been told something out at 4pm

Knowing our luck it’ll be the lights as that NPower warrant got heard at another court or something.

 

[henry18]

I think people need to dull the expectations for the announcement today, I can’t see a full takeover going through today

 

[1966 and all that]

I believe there'll be an announcement of some sort before tonight's kick-off.

 

[Napster]

Oh ye of little faith. I've heard that Rio Alderton is on his way down the A13 with the rest of the consortium.
