Simon Cox

[Barling Magna]

I wish Simon Cox good luck in his new venture and thank him for his spell at Southend. If the rumours that he is a bit of a barrack room lawyer have any substance then I guess it's good that he's on his way. One or two more will surely follow him out of the club.

Just seen on BBC website that Simon has left SUFC.

You are a class act Simon and thank you for all that you have done for Southend.

Wishing you all the best "Down under"

Yes- sure there is nothing stopping bring people in other than:
1. Ron/Sol have said people need to go out first- this is happening
2. We need to find players we want who want to come here

 

[Barling Magna]

Do we need three threads on this....?

 

[GBJ]

Would be nice to get a few wins and start turning things round, but don't even look at the league table.

This.

Forget the league table, and start judging the matches on a game-by-game basis.

Let’s face it, Sol hasn’t made us any worse, has he?

Was great for us- this year completely missed pre-season yet was played by KB anyway, really think this didn't help him at all this year

Jesus Christ, you actually believe that, don’t you?

Mate, it’s just simply not true - not even a little bit of it.

“Pre-season Injury” hahaha

Currently living in Sydney, not actually been to see an A-League game yet, tempted to pop along ??

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Hope its a great move for him personally and professionally. Maybe will also find it easier to get into coaching roles.

One thing I have increasingly noticed is he seems to lack the pace to go past people, play off the shoulder. Starting to look as he lack pace- but can still finish and create own a 10 role- I am sure great asset to his new club. All the best to him.

Probably shouldn't have pretended he was injured then

Good news hes gone ... A talented player who may be got too cynical and too much of an old pro to be a good influence on a young squad..

Let's have the truth then,what do you know?

i dont know why the overzealous mods changed the thread

Not really overzealous, the thread was just his name. As soon as it was confirmed the thread name was changed for that reason. This stops multiple threads being created. If you wish to continue this further feel free to PM me.

Nah it's ok. I accept your apology.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Yes, yes and yes...……………...that's me replying to all 3 threads together..

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Simon Cox at his best was a wonderful player for us.Personally I wish him well in Oz.We'll miss his quality.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

It is a shame it had to end this way, but seemed inevitable.

Been great last 3 years and kept us up on his own last year.

Work it out for yourself.

How many players do you know that can miss an entire pre-season with a double-injury, but then play the first 6-7 game of the new season?

Could there have been another reason why Mr. Cox missed pre-season? Another reason why he was seen out in Dubai?

Moving to an Australian team hasn’t exactly come out of the blue, to me.

 

[Mad Cyril]

I just hope he doesn't regret leaving Benfleet for Sydney.

 

[Sunnyshrimper]

Can he please take Milligan with him. And Ridgewell for that matter..

 

[Andy_S]

Could there have been another reason why Mr. Cox missed pre-season? Another reason why he was seen out in Dubai?

To be fair that's not the first time that he's gone out to do that training in Dubai.

Great servant and did a lot in the community too. 45 goals in 3 and a bit seasons in a pretty crap team is a good record.
