Pretty decent article that.

It’s come to the time where we would have to move some people on to bring people in. We’re looking at that at this minute,’ he said.
‘We’re looking at a lot of people on loan as well to bulk up the squad. Until I can financially turn over some players we’re going to have to soldier on.’


N'Diaye is presumably one, but who else will he be looking to "turn over"?

This little snippet stood out for me. " Southend are set to move in to a new 22,000-seater stadium in 2015".

 

[ooh-andy-ansah]

Is this true ?

"‘There’s been obviously the finances of the club for a wee spell were a bit rocky, but they’re much better now, so that’s a great benefit."

Having already had a late payment penalty from HMRC this summer I have to question this.

possible responses...

a) FOUR YEARS! Bloody hell that's a long time
b) Ha! It'll never happen.

Anyone got a time machine I can borrow to go and find out the answer?

Well if you've gone from having no money having enough to pay something albeit a few days late, I would call that "much better".

Just depends on the how you would class "much better" I guess...

However much I love them both, we need to sell Grant, or Kane.

 

[borientater]

sell both , along with gilbert and crawford .

 

[thewhelk]

sell both , along with gilbert and crawford .

the thing with Peter and Young Micheal is you would get no money for either of them I would think??

That jumped out at me as wall! Do the Daily Mail know something we don't? I thought that the idea was moving in 2013???

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Its a misprint it should say 3015.

Was it not the other day Tara telling us work on the ground would start this October. So yes 2013 would be the move date & not 2015. However who actually thinks work will start this October??

Crawford about the same standard as Johhny Herd, non league!

We've gone from being taken to court and just meeting a deadline after some negotiations with Sainsbury's to being only a day or two late. That is certainly an improvement. However, I would say things are "far less bad", rather than "much better".

perhaps 2015 for the full 22000 seats?

Yes, 2 crabs down the cockle sheds worth about a tenner. Grant decent when he's putting in 120% and not falling over like a big girl, and Ferdy a much overated youngster that would't know how to go forward if he tried. Stlll, both fit in well with the ultra defensive Sturrock!

 

[davidovolic]

Interestingly it also said in the Accrington programme that we are due to move into the new ground in 2015 - wonder if they both got that info from the same source?

Wouldn't say they are the most crab like players we've ever had, but fair enough! Kane has the weird ability of being in the right place at the right time to break up play, he also scored a few last year, personally thought he'd been getting forward a bit more! Grant also does that but in a more attacking way. When Grant is on fire he's very good! But we need to sell one to get some dough in!

HA!
Get out of it!

It frustrates me that Sturrock talks so much sense - it certainly hasn't translated into his job over the last few weeks.
