SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[stewart]

LOL. Just Relax

Imagine if RON was an owner / driver of a Taxi cab, and he ran and drove his Taxi cab like he does OUR Southend United.

Would you be able to relax in the back of his cab if he was driving you home.

• Wreck less driving,
• Cutting off every corner
• Running his tyres down to nearly bord as he has no money to buy new ones.
• The Taxi cab looks and smells a pile of ****e.
• And then, To never ever try to make conversation with you in the back.
• And when you complain, he just laughs at you.

You would not want to ever get in that cab ever again.

What the f**k has driving a taxi cab got to do with the sale of SUFC.to begin with the sale of the club has been put into the hands of an American company, only when they believe they have found the right buyers and im sure RM before he hired them has detailed what he expects from the sale. Stressing over it can only cause in the long run a heart attack or serious illness , better to relax and let the process takes its course ,and it will be a long process im sure .

It's called an analogy. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/analogy

. The stadium is already designed.

errrr - some generic drawings have been made ...

Ron has woven such a web of cross connections, interparty liabilities, dependencies and risks. Who would want to get entangled in that? And all for a product which has already been fully defined by Ron and leaves the new owner with no blank sheet onto which they can start sketching out their dreams.

the simple truth is RM is skint and all his companies are skint ....

Offering for sale the club and Roots Hall makes far more sense for a potential purchaser. It frees them from Ron's tangled web and provides a blank sheet on which the new owner can start planning their dreams..

I agree

I know that someone else on here mentioned this already but just to reiterate, the club (well, Ron!) have stated they would not comment again until the club's sale was agreed, but I really feel, a very short statement stating there are interested parties would put our minds at ease.
I realise from some ITK's there are parties looking at us but to hear it from the club would help. They can easily state there are parties interested, discussions have started and we will not comment any further until suitable.

The 1st March deadline was almost unbearable at times with the silence, and then this was followed by waiting for news of any sale (all whilst knowing we have to be sold or we will soon be dead in the water)

Club Statements can sometimes not be worth more than the paper they are printed on, but its better than mugging us off each and every day with complete silence.

Ron
Won't
Sell

We need to think of a way to put pressure on Ron whilst also attracting potential buyers. (No idea what this would be)

We will 100% be starting next season with Ron at the helm.

Just seen on another that the training ground is looking very poor and not being looked after. Just shambolic

Absolutely see where you're coming from here, and it would apply in 99% of normal situations. However, trust in the Chairman from the fans has disintegrated to such a level that any vague update would be treated with scepticism at the absolute best. Personally, the only statement I want is the one that tells us he's sold the club and the new stadium to someone who's passionate about our potential and has the financial clout to untap it.

Happily put a couple of beers on it

 

[Rob Noxious]

Happily put a couple of beers on it

£3.60 a pint at the Golden Lion or over a fiver at the Marlborough Head (both in Rochford) this week-end just gone. £4 at the Cricketers so the prices/bets can vary depending on where PBT drinks.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Wanna bet?

Have you heard what I've heard?

 

[Rob Noxious]

Have you heard what I've heard?

Interesting ... but will it be "very interesting" with a Barry Davies exclamation?

Note to SeldomSeenShrimper - possibly best go with the Golden Lion rate for the bet if this has any legs.

Very true.
A statement from Ron wouldn't be worth tuppence.
A statement from Tom would be honest as to how a situation is at a precise moment based on an incomplete situation as he would be relying on Ron's story.
Silence is a basic safe plan.

 

[The Original Tribal Chief]

Yes exactly. He’s father is doing the sale leveraging. Steve’s eyeing up where in Southend to buy his first fish and chips.
This sounds like qanon level stuff.

So then it's probably true.

I had to Google it - apparently it's part of Lazio Regional Railways. Can only mean we're going to be a feeder club for Lazio - get the open top bus booked for the end of next season!
