SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Jmayhew32]

Slightly off topic, but is Ron's Bentley a dark coloured convertable type with a rather large clue to the owner on the number plate? if so I just saw it heading in the general direction of Southend. Means nothing other than at least he's not in hiding. Unless it wasn't him, in which case it means even less..

Last I knew, it was a Continental Flying Spur, not a convertible

you sure about that

Yep, you post regularly....Nuff said!

The National League will have their own deadlines to meet. Very soon. Do you think we'll survive with a 10 point deduction? Because it's entirely possible

We won’t have a club if we don’t get the takeover what don’t you get …. Unless our players will play for free!!

No such thing as a silly post on ShrimperZone. The Zone exists to enable folk to post what they think.

Where's ShrimperSteve when you need him!

From a personal perspective, and looking at it purely from a business point of view and taking out the football emotion, I would have thought that the end of this week should be seen as some sort of crucial deadline.

One of the few things of any value that a new owner would be getting is the player asset value (regardless of how small!). If it runs on into next week then a lot of these may not get paid meaning they can walk away as well as the horrendous continuation of non payment of backroom staff. Not to mention the ones who's contracts expire and will be free to leave for nothing, Bridge arguably being our greatest asset.

On top of that there is the embargo that is stopping us from assembling a competitive squad and the impact on pre season training and we all know how that ends up if you have a poor one.

If you have agreed HoT in principle, then losing these assets would fundamentally change your stance on the amount you are prepared to pay.

I don't think either party can wait much longer before they both suffer negative consequences of further delay. It become a lose-lose situation.

I will remain hopeful of news before the end of this week purely on that basis, any delay into next week and beyond can only be detrimental.

Great take this, completely agree

Sussed it, No sign of Shrimpet Steve or Wolfy, Wolfy's identity mystery solved.

I think Steve was driving Wolfy all the way to his holiday destination.

Maybe the wrong thread but have we heard anything about who was at training today? Bridge? Ralph? Jd?

Saw Colin this morning as I went to b and q and said any news, his reply we haven’t been told anything. Of course he could have and not be saying lol

Obviously doesn't expect to get paid if he has swapped his green jersey for an orange apron

Surely AR54 OLE?

Can't remember the first bit, but the second part was a very loud and proud RON which grabbed my attention!

Probably sent out to search for the ball after kicking practice........Only joking Colin.

I'm a realist

I think when it comes to SUFC there is little room for realism - as evidence by much of the subjective and emotional material on this thread. . People are now either optimists or pessimists. We either believe it will all come good....or we believe it will be a huge mess. Most of the "realistic" category of posts are actually pessimistic.
