Sale of Southend United to Justin Rees and his consortium

[Mad Cyril]

85 employees- to give an idea of size

So about the size of a primary school?

According to that article he used to work for Westpac (my current employer) before he started his company. I work with a lot of people who’ve been at the bank a LONG time and some in quite senior positions.

Total long shot but I’ll see if anyone worked with or knows him.

I have worked at banks for a long time...

Vice president or director sounds very impressive but they are middling roles and the end of the line for many.

Oh totally. My own job title taken in isolation is a lot grander than the reality.

Which is why I’m trying to do some digging in exactly what it was he did.

Of course that doesn’t mean he didn’t do a fairly low ranking job early in his career then went on to form a very successful and lucrative business.

What he was is the Co-founder (owner) of a software company with 170 staff that was then sold to an industry major player.

Who cares what he did previously…really…

Once again, of course. You’re a 100% right.

But be interesting if I know and work with someone who knows and worked with him. Which is a long shot but not impossible, it’s a pretty incestuous industry here.

So he is heading up a consortium of local business people, is he part of the 7 that's interested in the club, or is this a different group of local business people.

The Magnificent Seven?

You can still get a sense of what kind of person someone is from their early roles. Hopefully honest and we are in a better spot

The Magnificent Seven?

Can’t imagine what you are getting at. You’ll be rattling on about Trojan Horses next…

Or the four horsemen of the apocalypse

Or the four horsemen of the apocalypse

That would make 11..at least it’s an odd number…

I Know someone with a relative who I think might have worked with him at NSW. Will see what I can find

Surely this points deduction will have an impact on the asking price!
Goalposts move, Ron doesn’t like it, Aussie and his gang pull out!!…… u know it’s gonna happen

Also, Ron has all his eggs in one basket, that’s in the national press, buyers could move goalposts and take advantage

Just can’t see it happening…….

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Absolute cod's, like so many have said, it's a desperate move to take the heat off, nothing more.

The guy is a lying t a w t, nothing more, nothing less.

But a 10 point deduction shows Ron doesn’t care less about the club (it’s now underlined for anyone who believed the rhetoric). Lower the price too much and he’ll let it burn.

No one has mentioned Spencer Prior he has been in Oz for yonks Simon Cox played out there for a year?

I’m not sure what’s more concerning, the state of SUFC or the fact you’ve been working in banking for a long time.

This, i didnt have you down as a banker cyril.

Great 41 days for Ron to mess this bid about and to chance his luck for another offer to come in and f##k it up, just like that Bury tw## of chairman did.

 

[wiggy]

Never had any intention to sell and still hasn’t.
Loves the attention and unless he is forced to sell ( not sure he can be)…..40 days and he will let it all fold….cannot believe the points deduction was allowed so he is capable of anything, the man is sick

Don’t think he’s involved. Or if he is he’s very good at poker
