Statement prediction:

Southend United are in advance talks with a potential takeover

Statement prediction:

I, Ronald the first, have today, in the spirit of worldwide co-operation, given away the football club that I ****ing love to a boomerang slinger. For good measure I have included the stadium and training ground for the price of half a pint at the Blue Boar.

This being my final act of charity, said slinger has generously offered to build a statue in my honour, which despite my insistent objections he plans to build and place upon the new Ron The Great East Stand, which I and my beloved family shall generously fund.

I appreciate many of you will wish to express your thanks to me in writing, but I ask that you refrain from doing so as I've been warned by Royal Mail that if I receive any more post they may start charging me for the delivery, and I would hate for Jack to have to pick up the cost for that too.

Forever yours, Ronald.

only 107 words but hey ho!

We can confirm that an agreement for the sale of the Club has been reached with a consortium led by Justin Rees. Everyone is working towards a completion date of 1 November 2023, that is when the consortium will formally take control of the Club.

The collaborative approach to agreeing this deal would not have been possible without the support of creditors and the assistance from the Leader of Southend City Council.

We recognise that this has been a stressful time for all associated with the Club. We would like to thank our staff for their incredible loyalty and also thank all our stakeholders for their patience.
