Sale of Southend United to Justin Rees and his consortium

[Napster]

Over the course of RM’s tenure, I’d hazard a conservative guess of close to 100 people, contractors, businesses, charities, agents and so on that he has let down.

I’m surprised that more didn’t join the WUP, or more haven’t joined previous ones…

Some of them have gone out of business in the meantime.

I think there are probably X3 that amount as I have spoken to a few people who has done work for him and he never paid and some of those people were self employed. The man really has no scruples.

You would be correct no doubt!
People way down the list who haven't a chance and individually not worth pursuing it! Collectively a lot of money however!

Is there any truth to the rumour there is another Aussie in with him now anyone know?

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

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.

I actually arrived in Albania this evening (yes, really!) and am working here all week. There’s lots of Albanians here too!

I'm really surprised that no one in that category, haven't paid some bruisers to pay him a visit over the years?.

As it stands no sale imminent. Ron still won't reduce his price that had basically ruined all sensible offers.
Justin trying to convince others to part with some cash.
Good thing the trust and firth are enquiring about community fund etc because that's option no.1 right now.

 

[Billy is the best]

Let’s hope that he fails to pay the security guards at his house.

WHEN WILL ALL THIS SAD READING ABOUT OUR BELOVED CLUB END

I hope you’re wrong . I’d heard another aussie was in with him? Or is that just someone he’s trying to get on board?

There is no sale imminent.
As I shared prior to the last court case nothing would be paid and 10 point slap was coming.
As it stands we get wound up on the 4th. Perversely that's my dad's birthday....No sane business man will give up what Ron wants, he literally wants you to pay his debts for starters.

The £2.5m ? Or is it more? Or is this for FF too?

Irrelevant....any way you chop it up rat is handing over debt associated with it. Was always a rubbish 'opportunity' and the fact that there is no deal shows that.

Also it doesn't help being bottom of a league which offers next to nothing interms of income ie tv revenue. If we were still in the efl I could see more interested parties willing to punt us due to bigger revenue streams which can be obtained via promotion. Where in the hell would any potential new owner get a return buying National League club in which they would have to spend several millions in sorting out the current mess. As we have seen this league unforgivable and could take years to get out, from that perspective it doesn't look very appealing.

 

[alansufc23]

When is the next protest....

We will have no club in less than a month

I get what the shrimper trust are doing

But its not putting pressure on the rat....

I read the comments on here and people are so quick with there crappy responses

Ron Martin doesn't want to sell the club

And I honestly feel like we will have no club in a month's time........

I've been a blues supporter for 42 years

Let's hope we have a club to support

Because seeing Roots Hall packed out

There isn't anything like it

Curious to know if this is ITK info or just a hunch ?

The League this year is poor and our best chance ever of getting out…… unfortunately Rat Martin has scuppered all that just like the little dictator he is.
No big teams this year, any investment this year and we would be back in League 2 however with him hanging around like a bad smell we are more likely to be wound up or dropping down. Rentokil need to visit Benfleet ASAP!

ITK to a degree, I'd say. I'm hearing that there isn't a deal yet. Doesn't mean that there won't be, but there were never any guarantees that there would be. I don't believe that the club will be allowed to die though.

My source has been spot on throughout.
Also look at the evidence, no deal done.
Trust/firth asking government for special funding, this doesn't exactly smack of successful takeover imminent.
Ron literally doesn't care.
He'd take the winding up.
He was only too happy to take 10 points off.
I'd urge all those boycotting to get to the hall this month. Say goodbye.

Not saying your wrong but why then get everything done in time to start the league? Could have wound it up then or many times in the past.
