SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[AlfaShrimper]

What you mean “if it goes ahead”

I'm hoping it does... But will it gain traction with the amount of people saying it's "pointless"

 

[SUFC2008]

evening, all. looks like we're going to be relying on this protest to be the make or break when it comes to RM's tenure as chairman. do us proud, lads

People saying it’s pointless we’re probably the same ones that wanted the trust to speak to Ron rather than the much better action of withholding season ticket money.

Ron and his family need to know that Southend supporters are not mugs.

Applying leverage to his weak spot is exactly the way to get this over the line.

I’ve not seen any details about the protest yet. When and where is it?

Not sure on a time but his house on Benfleet road Saturday! The only way it works is with a big turn out!

We don't have another choice now! Our club will go bust with Ron still in charge..

 

[Pak66]

Never underestimate Ron and his desire to walk away with what he feels is fair. He’s always been a stubborn bugger.

Never turn your back on Con Martin would be a better reply, he is sly, slimy and from experience deceitful but those are his only his good points

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

I will end up egging his house

You must have arms like Popeye, if you can reach it from the pavement??.

You do realise that Ron Martin is more likely to say 'Sod you fans', rather than, 'O.K. I'll sell at any price? Every protest has got absolutely nothing so far. He just digs his heels in and will not be bullied. I'm not anti-protest. It depends on whether I think it will work, or do harm. I did the Jobson protest and even marched into his office to have a go at him. But Ron Martin is a different animal. Why upset things when he has agreed to sell, and is in negotiations at a crucial stage?

Agree

 

[BigCol]

Back on topic please.

This is much more exciting!

 

[Jasrod]

Just a thought but does anyone get the feeling that Ron is waiting for the next series of Dragons Den so that he can make a pitch to Gary Neville for £2 million for a 0.25% share??

Does anyone know we near 98 per cent the deal is almost done or still at 95 per cent

 

[Hampshire Shrimp]

Ron Martin is like a petulant child, if he cannot have it, then he will make it very difficult or impossible for anyone else to.

" A petulant child is one who displays a bad temper and stubbornness, and who often sulks and pouts. A petulant child can be very difficult to deal with, and can often be quite demanding and uncooperative ".

I just hope for the players, staff and all concerned with SUFC, and us supporters that he does the right thing and agrees to what`s on the table?

Because what has been thrashed out, may change in due course, i.e. players sealing moves away for the security for them and their families, who can blame them.

The next couple of day`s are crucial, IMHO, and believe the silence maybe a pre-cursor of an imminent announcement. I`m certainly not in the know, just a gut feeling.

Good luck all

Oh how i hope and pray your gut feeling is right and it's not the squits

The only thing that’s keeping me going is the belief that the total (and I mean total) silence from the club regarding anything about the upcoming season (ie - pre-season pics, interviews, general media output) is not down to the club (more specifically the media team and whoever it is that tells them what to post) disregarding fans but actually not wanting to post anything until the takeover is done. I sincerely hope it’s the latter, and that the silence is a positive.

I'm not sure I agree with your reasoning (I'd like to!) but the silence is encouraging in a way because it means everything is still "live" so to speak.
The key personnel are still here as well. That's a positive.
