I agree with your sentiment but the thread has led to some interesting debate - deeply misguided from some quarters in my opinion but interesting nonetheless. The ridiculous (again, my opinion) question was asked but it seems to have been answered with a number of reasoned posts. I'm not a fan of the thread but I can't see any reason to lock it.
For the moment...

How dare anyone criticise Paul sturrock so soon . We should be thanking our lucky stars we got him here to sort out the mess the club is in. Who do we think we are let’s admit it managing Southend is not the biggest attraction? So to get someone like Paul who is busting a gut day and night, we should be helping him with our support not starting stupid unhelpful threads like this.

Oh! My! GOD! Run for the hills....
Probably didnt want to uproot his family without seeing how things go re the finances and I wouldnt expect him to do much on the training ground anyway, thats what TW is for - Mondays would usually be going over the Saturday game DVD, light work etc.
Why do people want to see problems and cause bad feeling where there is none?...

I thought most people who had gone down to the training ground had seen Sturrock around, but not withstanding that, I thought it was the way with most managers now that the coach / assistant takes training. Certainly you wont see the likes of Ferguson or Redknapp taking training in a regular basis....

The way i see it is the only idiots appear to be anyone willing to slag sturrock off. As i said b4 we are 5 games in. for god sake we are lucky that we even have some one of his calibre, why oh why do people feel the need to have a go, i just dont get it. look at the facts, the conditions surrounding his appointment, the decent players he has signed.... give the guy a break!

I think you'll find he is / was staying at the Roslin, unless maybe uncle Ron stopped paying the bill ?

He's barely been here a month.
Also, in what universe does commuting back and forth from Plymouth not demonstrate commitment!!!!!!? I wouldn't do that if you trebled my salary!

So you're quite happy to give Tilly the support when he was trying to make a silk purse from a sows ear last season - and rightly so in my opinion - but you think Sturrock is an idiot because we haven't had the greatest start with 90% of a new team with not a full pre season? Do you not concede Sturrock might have quite a tough job to do and deserves a bit of time before being judged?

Two Bulls were in a field. The son says to his father 'look dad theres a field full of cows over there, lets run down and s**g 2 of them'. The father says 'no son, lets walk down there and s**g all of them!'. The moral of the story is dont rush, because things take time. Micky Adams, manager of Port Vale said he has been there 18 months and it has taken this long to weed out the dross and sign the players he wanted to mount a promotion challenge. Whilst we all want instant success, regretfully patience is required. Something all football fans in this day and age, seem to have none of.

You might be missing the words "couple" and "of" in that statement...

It was a pointless cup game. We've got no serious aspirations of going far in it, nor probably the overall talent to go a long way when you consider the quality of teams like Arsenal Reserves (who ripped decent Championship outfits apart by 4, 5 or 6 goals in previous seasons). Lets hope the JPT is not considered a distraction and we can try tinkering with the formation in that whilst getting used to the regular standard setup we'll play in the league. Plus don't forget how the 2 cup-runs to Cardiff seemed to instil confidence in the following weekends games.
Although I am pleased we gave a good account of ourselves at Wolves and that another 120 minutes of football will aid the fitness PS says we're lacking.
Been too busy to really go over all the old stuff today (& also lacking the desire to keep being one of the only people to question how we've all ended up here no matter whether you're 100% positive about the new regime, indifferent either way and just want to see Southend United play football or still extremely hurt/upset/irate at how Our Glorious Leader has run (or can I at least say mismanaged???) OUR football club over the past 18 months?
Hopefully Moshni will carry on in a similar vein if/when he gets his league chance.

Not quite sure where we are going with this one, but everybody deserves at least one chance.
