Will the last one out please switch off the lights...FFS....

 

[Jam_Man]

Its ok, we can join a 5-aside league.

 

[C C Csiders]

Is there anybody there?

 

[Tin Bath]

OMG whats going on

 

[Clarky_Blues]

Fair play to Ron coming out saying he will not be held to ransom by the players or their agents.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

If players don't want to play for the club, then let them go and get new players in...

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

I was about to give J_M a thumbs up for his fishing .. then saw the linkage !!!

 

[Medway Blue]

What the hell is going on at this club. We;ll be ruined before the pre-season friendlies come around, all our best players will be gone. Shocking. Something's not right!

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Shocking and amazed but a good move......

We need to build a team to win us promotion not just to get into the playoffs...

ONE TEAM IN ESSEX
SOUTHEND UNITED FC

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

In my opinion thats our 3 best players from last season. Gutted.

 

[Pubey]

i'm trying my best to remain calm.....

 

[Rayleigh Blue]

this is crazy, we know macca turned down contract as well, has anyone got any boots

 

[BTS]

What the hell are the club playing at!!!!!!!!

 

[Jam_Man]

If players don't want to play for the club, then let them go and get new players in...

Certainly to an extent, but getting rid of our player of the season, our most improved player of the season and one of our only two centre halves doesnt sound like we are strengthening.

I understand where RM is coming from but getting rid of those 3 will decimate our squad...

 

[toellandback]

:clap: :clap: Fair play to the suits at Southend, if every club stood up to players over contracts and money we could start getting our game back

 

[Medway Blue]

Reading the story, well done RM I guess. Players who WANT to play at this club do not reject substantially improved offers and then hold the club ransome for more. It's not on. They can go swivel if they don't want to play here.

 

[bishmania]

This is astonishing news. I'm totally gobsmacked and don't really know what to say.


All I can add is players come and go but my club always stays so I will back Tilly, Ron and co in whatever they do.

totally agree. i just hope this doens't back fire on ron and we find ourselves struggling to get new players in especially as good as those 3.
