SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Holy Joe]

Interesting to know where the money has come from - we can't have sold that many of the new training tops can we?

When would commercial sponsorship monies be due?

Has Ron put money in? Other directors?

 

[Smiffy]

Contracted players. So I wonder if Bridgey and Ralph haven't been paid for last month? Thats going to help persuade them to stick with us, huh?

I’d suggest they would of been the first to get paid.

Good news that the 'contracted players' have been paid. I do have a rather tragic image of King Kev and Co sitting in a lock-up in Westcliff supping cans, smoking and crossing names off a whiteboard.

I took that as to mean this who were contracted for the end of last month

Torquay wasn’t it

No definitely Solihull.

Most contracts are until the end of June so I guess they have.

In the past some signings were delayed until 1st August because under their previous club they would be paid for July if they had not signed for anyone else......Doubt Ron would have that clause in any of our squads contracts.

I believe the club was due a payment thanks to an installment or an add-on from a previous outgoing transfer fee. Somewhere between £15k and £20k. Was due to come in middle of this week.

No definitely Solihull.

It was Solihull as I remember a hotdog going flying in Ron’s direction. They weren’t cheap either.

Tasted ok once the grit was dusted off though.

And the rest! At this rate we’ll be on page 630 before most of us get to bed tonight.

Good news for the players what about the staff

Well obvious Ron isn't going to pay it himself, that would be silly!

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

This is going to make for one hell of a documentary. No wonder the Rock's interested!

 

[Booma]

Players paid, Only 41 posts from 11,000 about the sale of the club

What a time to be alive.

The way im reading this at the mo, is that there is gonna be no resolution this week or even next, i think another adjornment is on the cards,.
From the press conference i seem remember Tefron stating that he wanted to be out before this new season, my read is that as long as thats before 05/08/2023 it wont matter to him how long he strings it out.
He couldnt care less if the players leave, why should he? if hes out its someone elses problem, hes already shown he dosent give a toss by not paying the staff for months, as for fans he dosent care about us either, we are just a means to an end.
Nearly three years ago i stated that his long game was to get fossetts sorted and to hell with the club in fact it suits his aims to watch it be destroyed, i still havent changed my stance on this.
As for Kimura, just my take is that they have done DD and the extra 1.5mil liabilty they have found is just one of a number of hidden problems (for a bit of levity i was hoping they found the war-chest as well but no such luck on that!!!) , Im hopefull that in the end they might get there but the longer this drags out not only must they be getting uptight with the process but also thinking is this really worth getting any further into.
As much as i hate to say this (and im trying to be as positive as i can at this point) This is the way i see it .
1. There wil be no news before the 12th
2. The club will be given another adjornment for one last time due to the ongoing selling process I've got a feeling itll be until 05/08/2023.
3. We wil continue to amble along with no news until maybe a week before ie around 28th when either the sale will be announced or Kimura pull out.
4. Depends on the result of 3 itll either be a mad scamble to get players in before 05/08/23 or the club dies by the start of the season.
Its a sorry state of affairs and believe me it really pains me to say this after watching and supporting Southend for nearly 50 years through good and bad.
Just my take, im not ITK , all i want to do is continue to watch and support my team Southend United. UTB

This £1.5m seems complete rumour- no confirmation at all from those ITK when asked- but once again happy to be corrected
