SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Medway Blue]

Sue him for what lol?

It’s pretty common in business deals to use one bid to track what could be possible while still talking and considering others.

Anyone but Ron was what 99% of this forum said originally

Gross financial mismanagement and negligence. Not acting in the best financial interests of a company he's a director of. Trading whilst insolvent.

Just been down to Roots Hall to take some pics in the car park in case the worst happens this morning. A bloke got out of a van and told me and another chap doing the same. "No photos allowed at the moment". We both ignored him and carried on anyway. I stayed a bit longer but my every move was being watched.

Can anyone eles smell a rat .To many people have suddenly been paid .All but the belgered staff that is .The biggests rat is Ron .

Are you sure they been paid and its not another sodding rumour

 

[Target man]

I agree. The judge agrees to a 40+ day adjournment request, the knock on's will be catastrophic.

We have 24 days till the season starts. 13 players remaining, who haven't trained or played a pre-season game. Let that sink in. If we are adjourned anything beyond 7 days, we're screwed anyway.

staff hadnt been paid as of last night

 

[borientater]

Chelsea fans prevented the club accepting a gambling firm as kit sponsor so maybe they do care

Well they can afford to be fussy now can’t they , wasn’t too fussed when Roman turned up though. Once we’ve won a European cup we can pick and choose our sponsors too

I hear you. I totally agree. But gut feel is the adjournment will be longer than 7 days for sure. Ron will string it out as long as it suits him and his "preferred" bidder. **** everything else.

Just how do the club survive, we are already slipping down the pan at a great rate of knots without a pot to **** in. Is RM suddenly going to put about 2 mill into the club...I don't think so.

 

[fredheim_holm]

It’s a shame the judge seemingly won’t see sense, the club is done if it allows Ron to play games for another 42 days, there will be no NL membership and no staff left. It’s in the interests of the creditors to grant a very short adjournment at most.

 

[Target man]

Sadly me too. IF we are adjourned (again) it will be longer ro accommodate Ron's favoured consortium which keeps his fingers in the pie. It just means more stress on us all continuing, more uncertainty for the players and staff, and I very much doubt the NL will be as graceful as the judge.

Shoot me down by all means, but if feels the tube would have been half pulled out from the life support machine already.

What's fueling this confidence we'll get the adjournment @Smiffy and co?

Don't see any reason for it being approved.
We're further from a deal with Kimura than we were, we still haven't paid the majority of our football creditors, Ron has no money.

The only slither of hope is this second consortium I'm assuming

 

[WestStandBlue]

I don’t know, hence the “I hope Ron has royally ****ed up somehow”

Does it matter really tho if we are sold eventually to someone else?

Good luck with that one

Yes. Have you heard of the term “justice”.

A second consortium involving Ron's son and his pals isn't offering hope, just an extension to the circus.

Exactly. If you add everything up, then there must be compelling evidence that a new party is ready to step in. The judge will need to see this this morning of course. Which should mean this new party is named in court. If so, then the judge is likely to give some time (not sure he will agree to 40 odd days to be honest) for another party to get ducks in a row or for Kimura to adjust offer (v.unlikely). Thus an adjournment should follow.

Now, whether this alternate party is going to fill us with confidence will be up for debate if/when named. Let's see what occurs in the next few hours...

Yea that won't go down well surely.

lol be great if he did but do not see that. Personally i hope the judge asks what happened to the bid he said was close at the last hearing. he will then have to explain surely?

 

[danbowen]

PG Site Services to pay todays bills and discharge debts and become the new owners of Southend United. Can’t wait for the ****ed up social posts!

Really hope these ****s aren’t involved. They are no better than Ron.
