Ron Martin Statement

On the OS now

Recognises communications have been poor, announcements on "behind the scenes management" this week. No word on reasons for Gary Lockett's departure.

A message from Ron

So, is it positive that Ron has stuck his head above the parapet? Thoughts?

Lots of words, says nothing!

 

[leeblue]

he really may as well put a steaming **** on the website and signed underneath it

 

[Earls Hall Blue]

I do not wish to put Paul Sturrock under extra pressure but the ‘feel good factor’ will certainly stand this years squad in very good stead to complete the job we so nearly achieved last season. There are areas where reinforcements are needed and Paul will be supported when he identifies the right players to join us.

Im sure PS has identified plenty of players, Ron just needs to sort this bloody embargo out.

yep that is a crap statement that really means nothing and explains even less, he is the same idiot as normal and is just trying to keep eveyone sweet for that bit longer, utter gash mr martin.

"Communication (from Latin "communis", meaning to share) is the activity of conveying information through the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behavior.

Communication requires a sender, a message, and a recipient.

The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the message of the sender."

Sorry Mr Martin, what you have done does not equal communication as I do not understand what message you are trying to send. You have used many words to communicate precisely nothing!

 

[tottenham541]

the only thing that i can understand in that is paul sturrock gets promotion this season or he is out, give him the funds then mr ron martin eh.

 

[Kent Shrimper]

I await with baited breath the other exciting announcements being made this week!!! Hopefully they will be more informative.

 

[jamesmut2000]

I'm in mourning for the black and white photo of Ronnie baby.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

There will be further announcements this week, which surround behind the scenes management as we gear up to move to the new stadium.

This appears to be the only bit of news that could be of interest. 'THIS WEEK'.........I wait to hear.....new investors??? :dim:

 

[Napster]

Costco was out of Timotei this week. Could Ronnie be flogging them as a sideline?

Southend United chairman Ron Martin writes to Blues supporters in an open letter.
At a recent meeting with club staff it was felt that there was a lack of flow of information to supporters.
"I've been looking on ShrimperZone"

I think this is a valid criticism and I must, in part, take a responsibility, but with the recent departure of Gary Lockett as CEO at the club (Gary will remain a non executive director) inevitably creates uncertainty in supporters’ minds. This coupled with a ‘lack of information’ is unhelpful.
"I don't want to say anything because you won't believe me"

There are changes taking place at the club but these are positive, exciting changes and it is right that fans be kept informed. However, at times I hope the majority of supporters understand that I am unable to openly discuss the clubs plans without risking damage to the clubs interests. Unquestionably the future is exciting even though the club continues to wrestle with its short term cash requirements to ensure the on field investment to get us out of this league is maintained.
"People keep leaving, I am skint and please stop asking questions"

There will be further announcements this week, which surround behind the scenes management as we gear up to move to the new stadium. My focus for a long time has been completing a major ‘jigsaw’ to enable development of our future and which everyone will understand has been made all the more difficult during these challenging economic times.
"Please wait, my next load of spin will be out soon"

However as our ‘line of sight’ grows ever clearer the changes that to take place will positively compliment the bigger picture. I am determined to get this club firing on all cylinders behind the scenes to ensure that Paul receives the support that he needs. That said he has already assembled an excellent group of players and created a brilliant team spirit that I have not seen at Southend United Football Club for many years. It is a joy to watch the goal celebration and long may that continue, starting tomorrow!
"I will be sacking a few more staff so I can pay the players --- other staff will have to continue waiting for pay. Keep scoring goals , it keeps the plebs off my back"

I do not wish to put Paul Sturrock under extra pressure but the ‘feel good factor’ will certainly stand this years squad in very good stead to complete the job we so nearly achieved last season. There are areas where reinforcements are needed and Paul will be supported when he identifies the right players to join us.
"Sturrock , get my club promoted or you are out!"

In closing I just want to reiterate that if the club has been lax in communicating with its supporters then this will now change. Of course commercial sensitivities will still be protected but we are one group of people, United in Southend’s success.
"I have managed to avoid you lot for ages, but now I need your money more than ever because no-one will lend me any.
Keep handing your cash over and don't forget to pay for next year's season cards by the end of October, love Ron."

"There are areas where reinforcements are needed and Paul will be supported when he identifies the right players to join us."

Oh well, that explains it! In the end the failure to strengthen the squad is all Luggy's fault for not identifying the right players. For Christ's sake Sturrock get your finger out and sort out some targets. :winking:

 

[Jam_Man]

At least he is saying something....

Lets see if this weeks sees any news that amounts to anything....

 

[leeblue]

[Dick Bate's Protege]

Go Ronnie go go...Ronnie b Goode.

It's so long since he's had any compliments to complement the abuse, he's forgotten which is which.

Disregarding this basic error, "changes will positively complement the bigger picture" - wtf does that mean? If you want to communicate try using proper sentences.
