Sale of Southend United to Justin Rees and his consortium

[dbailey3]

Pretty sure I saw Prior say before he wouldn't get involved with Ron in any circumstance. May be wrong though.

As long as they bring the Four 'n' twenty pies with them

Hard to find it here in Oz. Carlton Draught is a fine pub beer. Would happily drink that at RH next time I come over. Er, if we are still in existence......

a nice Parma meal and a beer mmmmmmmmm

Hopefully not yet another waste of time trying to deal with RM must be like trying to ski uphill with one arm and leg behind your back so I hope and that this lot are real and the finally realises this really is his last chance and accepts a realistic offer and not the fantasy amount he thinks he deserves.

If he conducts this the way he usually does business we really are dead and buried

 

[nick12]

I don't believe anything any more

Me neither, the seems to have no problem lying to a judge or the NL and certainly the people who pay for his club (us supporters).

So many lies and so much fiction yet he still believes we should all be so grateful for all the money he has put in to the club and keeping us alive. He is a serial liar and completely delusional

If he really gave a flying one about SUFC, the town and the supporters he would have sold up for a reasonable price and done one long ago but his final payday is all that matters to him

How many times doies that cheating wezzel have to keep saying the deal is almost over the line .What deal what line .The only line i can see is the line he leads between honesty and lies .Sadly he does not know what being honest is .But he does know a good line in porky pies .

Well, Mr Rees. I really hope that your takeover of our beloved club goes through.
On our part, as the new custodian, you will get the total support of many thousands of fans, helping you turn round this sick, but still wonderful, football club of ours.

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but Ron said the talks were at "an advanced stage".

Has anyone who has any contacts to Mr Rees or the consortium heard any of them say the same?

I had heard, and this was before knowing any names, that the “Aussies” had been to Boots & Laces, Roots Hall, met players and staff and done various zoom calls with them.

That’s all I’d heard about the Aussies. There was a rumour they were “investors” as opposed to buying the Club outright, but who knows if that is/was true.

Also, I was under the impression it was the “Aussies” vs “Famous 5/Magnificent 7”. The Echo article is suggest it’s an Aussie plus locals, maybe a combination between the two.

As long as one or all do something soon.

Maybe this is one of the reasons the players and management team are sticking around. Maybe they believe there is concrete evidence that they are buying the club. The fact that they’ve been to B&L, RH and met the players and staff, proves to me that they want this club. They wouldn’t have done all of this if they didn’t let’s be honest.

Another thread of a possible take over. Oh Christ no!!
I don’t think I can handle trawling through thousands of pages just to find out it’s another dead in the water possibility.
OS, keep me posted when you hear something please.

 

[Mad Cyril]

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…

Which is pretty impressive.

I wrongly inferred from RMs post that the chap was using previous banking position to imply that he was some sort of major player.

chris philips maybe need to do some digging .Ie asking kevin or the players if they has met these so called people .Is it true or yet more Ron maRTIN LIES .

 

[in the know]

Can confirm some playing and coaching staff were definitely introduced to them a few weeks ago.

Justin Rees and the Kimura guys are known to each other.

London Shrimper has also mentioned Kimura guys as part of the consortium. So it does seem that it might be Josh Rees as an individual businessman plus other local individuals (none of which may be Australian, or maybe another one or two are).

Right now communication is everything. It really would be very sensible for club and buyers to be putting out a joint statement to cool things down and give some clarity.

Josh Rees or Justin Rees?

Josh Rees is the overweight footballer that plays for Daggers. Justin is the consortium leader.
