SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[mattytheshrimper]

Why would Powell need to hand his notice in, he's out of contract isn't he?

 

[Beefy]

I assume your pals with Tom Lawrence and I assume the other bid is around the club being made insolvent and then being purchased by Lawrence and some others including PG site services for a small amount am I close ??

If the Club is wound up then no one can buy it.

If it were to be put into Administration (which I don't think is an option) then Ron Martin is by far the biggest creditor and would have to approve any sale.

Why do we think it’s Powell? And how do we know the water has been turned off?

I'm sure I read somewhere that he was wanting out - I could be wrong! The water at Roots Hall isn't turned off.

No still has a year left

So is anyone actually going to this protest at 6pm tonight? There is no point it being 10 people again

One person 10 persons 1000 persons be your own man your voice will be heard everyone seems to have you same attitude … it’s someone else’s problem … you all wore masks for someone else .. I’m going tonight for my mate Bens son gabby who loves Southend

There is always a silver lining.

Agree he's not good enough but I always like a player who works hard.

My understanding is Lomas, Powell & Mooney have all slung their notices in.

Lomas is gone regardless, but I believe Powell maybe having second thoughts on the notice.

Suppose what happens tomorrow could dictate some more departures too.

Based on what?

Based on what?

Based on what I’ve been told.

Not in its current state it's not.

We’re a car crash of a club, but that in itself will generate interest among football fans.

We also have one of the biggest fan bases in the league which makes us a lucrative proposition to the NL’s streaming service.

And let’s not forget, when attracting sponsors, you’d certainly want some big names headlining your division. They don’t come much bigger than us at this level.

how would you all react to an adjournment?

It’d be frustrating that it’s still not completed, but an adjournment would tentatively suggest that something is happening. That’s better than being wound up.

Apologies if I’ve missed it, but on what basis would an adjournment be granted? We’re led to believe Kimura’s offer is only on the table until tomorrow, and if we go into the hearing and they’ve pulled out, we won’t be able to use them as evidence that a deal is close. Is there another group who are close?

Unfortunately, only Ronald can answer that. Would it surprise anyone if something else had been going on in the background?

I think the club will be sold in the next 24 hours, but not to Kimura group.

As above, nothing would surprise me.

Wouldn’t it be lovely to have an older wise head at the planned protest tonight? Someone from the trust, doesn’t have to be loads just a face to say yes we back this, would be totally respected amongst everyone attending too.

 

[Callum]

At this rate we won’t have a squad

 

[Shr1mperBlue]

I've been told it hasn't been done, they intended to but were unable to access it

You are right. My apologies. Just B&L turned off. Stadium lives for another day.

 

[JB Shrimper]

Or the club could be dead and it would then be TOO LATE!!! ****ING HELL, I actually give up. **** it let it die. No one bother

As soon as Ron made his mind up what he wanted to do it was too late. Protesting never bothered him and never will. Protesting the night before the court case is going to do naff all to change the narrative. Take a night off feet up and worry about tomorrow like most sensible folk would!

Old wise heads wouldn't bother protesting because they are wise

His not even responding to kimura. The blokes a moron. If he don't get a golden egg he would rather see our club die.

Been thinking all sort of things today about the club and it's goes without saying I would be devastated if the worst happens tomorrow but I can safely say I attended every protest that I could. I knew it wouldn't achieve anything but I couldn't just sit there and moan on shrimperzone about it. I just wonder IF the worst happens how those who have done nothing, and those who mocked those that tried, will feel knowing they were a bystander when our club died.

I'm in a bit of a angry stage at the moment after seeing the Ron videos today and his quite frankly pathetic excuses said last night but I'm also angry at our fanbase for just a few hundred actively showing our support to our players and staff in showing our disgust in how we feel they've been treated. There's of course some that can't make it due to work, kids, illnesses etc etc and that's understandable but there's also many who just couldn't be arsed and its you that this post is aimed at. Hang your heads in shame.

Possibly. But we can get a squad, quickly if required. We can’t get a club. Bigger picture.

Least of our worries at the moment mate.

The Trust only put out a statement showing they support the protests but NEVER attend. Brilliant considering they're for some reason got the heading as speaking for us all.

I doubt whether Kimura would be chasing him. As stock value goes there's very little left in the club and I'd imagine they are already having second thoughts about any bid the've placed.
