SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[gpd]

Never has 95% felt so looong

On this time basis perhaps Lionel Richie would rename his song "95% of the night long"? Im sure the ladies would be happy with that.

Finding out what's going on is worse than trying to finish a crossword.

2 down is what killed us

Of course the question posing the most angst amongst us all is whether this thread will reach 11,000 posts before we hear of a takeover or not, or will will all implode by then.

Bit of both. There was a meeting between parties tonight regarding outstanding issues and the initial steer I’ve been given is positive. I can also see the effect this is having on some posters, so wanted to try and boost morale. We all want the same thing and being out of control and out of the loop is clearly having an impact on people.

Thanks for cutting through the ‘I know something you don’t know’ meme based culture BS as ever. Much needed and much appreciated.

2 up is “dangerous”

My pleasure mate. And trust me, there are some exceptionally well connected posters on here that are pretty easy to identify. If they post something a little cryptic, you'll at least get a sense of whether things are moving forwards or backwards.

Guess who

Good morning all, hoping for good news today

Top billing on this again.

I hear that Kelvin has put some £’s into the Trust support pot.

Also raises some concerns on Kimura of their wider business…. Worth a listen (first 5 mins).

Just one day of having a normal football club.. that’s all we ask!!

Always be wary of an animal backed into a corner. By interesting do you mean RM is digging his heels in and ignoring advice?

Would love to be a fly on the wall in these meetings

Are not the other directors responsible for club debts as well .

" Lord i pray thee to bless my football club in its hour of need ,and pray that you can give Mr Martin the sense to finally do the right thing by not only the club ,but also the city of Southend and all its constituents and supporters. Give Mr Martin the sense to sell the club to the Kimura Group so that the supporters can finally rest and the club once again become a solid part of the community . I thank you Lord for all your blessings, please help to save our football club. " AMEN.

Amen to that. Let's hope the coming days bring the good news we all need.

What's the record?

We need news today

EXCELLENT!

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

We need news today

I'm not holding my breath. I think the first we'll hear will be during/following the hearing. My money at the moment is on an application being made for yet another extension, pointing to the concrete progress that has been made with Kimura. There is of course no certainty that the judge grants it, but on balance I think it more likely than not, the key point being able to convince them that there is a genuine prospect of a sale, which would be in everybody's interests at this point.

There are a few in the pub higher but this is probably the biggest ever in chit-chat.

I understand, it’s just got a little hard work but any snippets are always welcome no matter how difficult to stomach.

Unless Kimura have set a date with RM to complete or not.
