It seems our current owner and the next have never picked potatoes or played for Stockbridge. If they did the deal would be done by now.

That’s where Spud Taylor comes in.

Just had an interesting conversation with someone at work about the woes of being a Chelski fan... I told them I had no sympathy, it is a first world problem, to be careful what they wish for and to google Southend...

This is RM moving everything around to cover his arse.... Mezcal somehow shows in 2021 a balance of 6 million in their off shore account.. How that got there is, well dubious.. @Firestorm maybe able to shed some light on it all.

Nail on head there Cricko . I think the 6 million was actually a dollar figure which would correspond quite closely to the amount the CPS cited when they tried unsuccessfully to prosecute him for fraud.

If RM really has no money to pay staff and other debts and fix up RH etc, the MP's should call him out and tell him to release the detailed accounts of Mezcal for scrutiny. Until then I and probably others will asume there is a tidy sum stashed away in the BVI that he either doesn't want the CPS to know about or doesn't want to bring onshore and pay tax on.

Ronald, dear Ceaser Remember and man is not remembered by what he has done, but what good he has done.

And therein lays the problem. How one man has been allowed to carry on in this manner beggars belief!!?

Their should be, along with the Fit and Proper Test on initial owners buying football clubs, a further check, at a pre-determined time length, to assess whether that are still Fit and Proper. Legislation should be able to monitor these so called chairman, of the likes of Martin, and the Oyston family to name a few.

It keeps happening, and needs monitoring to when it goes wrong, a safety blanket to save the club from being dragged through the mud.

Martin has been doing the job of two men for years....Laurel & Hardy

It hasn't been just Ron at the helm of the finances of the club though?

Tara Brady & Steve Kavanagh surely had some grasp as to what Ron was doing at the club financially...?

Especially as when Kavanagh was hired, he said in an interview, 'I have known Ron Martin for a number of years and I have seen first hand his passion and desire to deliver success for the club and I am looking forward to working along side Ron, and the rest of the board, to deliver what is a really exciting future.'

Furthermore, we have actually had a 'Head of Finance' since 2007! Patrick Van der Waag & Nigel Brunning both at the helm of those roles at one point or another...

Just need hmrc paying now

 

[Tmeister]

At last! Wonder if this includes the July wages due soon. I'd be pleasantly shocked if that were the case.

I'd be even more shocked if they got any kind of loyalty bonus, which they so deserve.

Wouldn't of thought so mate, he ain't that good lol

And the small matter of a safety certificate still outstanding I think.

If the Trust's hardship fund is not needed in part or whole perhaps they could pay a loyalty bonus.

Thought this was done with one or two relatively minor conditions outstanding?

F##k, I forgot about that, far to much going on to remember everything, the joys of supporting southend lol

So the question is did Ron have the money all this time or had he sold some land.

Alex, we all know he had it all along, everyone on here knows he's tighter than a nun's ****

 

[CanveyCastle]

Well, at least that is one hurdle overcome.

Waiting for the next disaster. #MartinOut

No he did not sell more land to pay the staff .It was part of the money the court let the club have ..Ans it was said the poor staff should be paid by at least weds .So finaly the poor staff can pay there way with what was owed to themm .And about time to 4 months to late Ron .This should never have happened .
