Sale of Southend United to Justin Rees and his consortium

[Strykr]

No idea, part of it must be doable surly. Give us the away bit then.

Main thing is to pack what we can out, standing room only. That’s the night to really protest big time.

Interesting. Maybe one game with a visual protest we should pack out the away end as well.

We want martin out chats from all corners.

The away fans wont mind theres usually only 15 of em.

Quite what?

Don't drink and type not "quiet" what I was going for

It's a different day, but still the same shyte.

RM thinks he is one off the Glazers and can ask 10 billion for SUFC

Are you sure you didn’t loose the plot? Maybe you have a screw lose?

 

[tommy tucker]

Is it empyy vessles make the most noise .Or is it empty wallet kills the club off .Lets hope its the first one .

 

[Hooly]

Well if he does there will be less opposition to the hiring of a Hitman than the bloody silent protest! Only said in jest obviously, honestly officer!

I'm off on my hols the end of the week @BEERMONSTER. There are lots of Albanians where I am going & I'm sure I could sort something out..................I mean only getting a little old lady to "tell him his fortune" or something similar.

Yes perhaps you could arrange for him to meet with this Albanian chap for investment!

Justin still wants to do a deal

Isnt he still looking for investors to join the consortium though?

Stan Collymore seems to have disappeared. Haven’t seen him at any games this season. Didn’t he say he could get a consortium to buy the club when he first turned up?

Yep feels that way. Realistically it's JR or bust. The fact he's back in Aus says to me were still far away from a deal and time is not our friend. I'm kind of checked out and resigned to it at this point but no doubt it'll hurt if the unthinkable happens.

Don't you remember? Ron said he won't let the club die. We're in safe hands

He’s part of the football department and has no role or insight into the financial matters. If even Kev isn’t being kept up to date then I doubt Stan is.

The question for me is that Stan obviously cares deeply about the club. He seems to have opted to stay on the inside with his existing role, even though there’s limited benefit he can bring in terms of the role when we’re under embargo. He must have felt his chances to hear about and influence events are better this way.

At what point though does he get worried enough to return to social media in the way he was in the months leading up to Tom and Kev’s appointments? His social media could really draw attention to the plight of the club and expose Ron to wider scrutiny. Surely if he felt the club was about to cease to exist he would do that?

No criticism of Stan intended here at all - far from it - just thinking aloud really. I kind of think that if Stan isn’t worried enough to speak out then maybe I shouldn’t worry too much either.

IMO opinion we also owe him a huge debt (including others such as Tom) for forcing Ron to recruit a proper football department - which of course allowed the team of staff and players, who are now representing the club so magnificently, to be assembled.

He's been at games. Maybe one of the many that have shown an interest in buying and got nowhere.

Yea... one of a number of good people that could have walked away but seems to be hanging in there in anticipation of better days. It gives hope, the only hope frankly, that something will happen. Everything else is hard to fathom.
