SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Sparte]

On the plus side we're nailed on to go past 1000 pages on this thread.

At 1000 pages, the thread name should be changed to “SUFC, new investment sought”.

For anyone who understands business or basic economics.

The purchase price, publicised for Southend United is more than the price Charlton has been sold for. With ZERO debt and higher valued assets in a club in a higher league with more fans.

Honestly, it’s time we all get real, and make sure the pressure is not dropped. To all the people that have asked has RM been offered what he put out publicly, no ofcourse he hasn’t, has he turned down offers (I don’t know), has he ignored offers YES!

Then there is the reason he hasn't sold it yet. If he is holding out for that figure then making lower offers is not going to interest him.

You said that the goalposts were moved but it seems like no one has actually got close enough to tell yet.

Agreed, as much as I want him gone and nowhere near this club, if buyers are offering him much lower thinking he is desperate to sell up and will accept anything then we are all very much mistaken

When the time comes! I will share everything I can to prove everything that has been said! Again, the goal posts are on a different pitch currently.

Everyone knew the slimeball Martin was lieing all along He got himself plenty of media coverage saying he was selling up.Also he fooled the courts applying for exstention after exstention saying the club was up for sale . He should be brought in front of the judges for living to the courts .And put put away where he belongs

 

[Avl1983]

So do we think he has enough money to keep the club crawling along this season without a buyer or are we just going to take -10 points however many times and die?

 

[CRATE]

Sorry just to add, based on conversations that took place last night! Which I’ll share with a few trusted posters on here to confirm! I am still very confident, we get bought!

Wigan players do a “Lopata”

Going slightly off topic here, but two players at Wigan have “done a Lopata” as well as Will Keane doing it earlier in the summer for repeated late payment of wages.

Doesn’t say if these are consecutive months, or what the situation is, but I know there was talk of Mooney and a tribunal, I wonder if we will fall foul of this again.

EVERYONE who can should also be at court end of August and face this prick making him understand he is not, and never will be welcome at our club.

Public protest outside Rolls Building on the day of the hearing?

I appreciate your posts CRATE. They provide some insight and some hope. But why the need to talk in riddles? Have you caught this verbal disease from Ron Martin?

Could be too late by then. Our fans need to turn the screw with our next protests, starting on Saturday.

Agreed but I think we should keep it as an option to drag Ron's name through the mud in London if he lets this drag all the way to the 23rd.

RM public statement said RH was up for sale so at that time the goalposts were at Roots Hall. So I’m reading this that the goalposts on a different pitch means it’s now the FF pitch. I might be wrong??

To clarify these posters also know what conversations took place, or you’re informing them so they can confirm on here? It all gets very confusing, well for me at least.

If I am honest I have given up caring to a degree, buying a season ticket to Braintree for the coming season

 

[RHB]

Ok, the protests should continue and be kept as high profile as possible in the press and media, but let's not kid ourselves that Ron is fazed by what we are doing. Probably his wife and family are fed up to the back teeth, but he is proving, time and time again, that he's in his own untouchable Ronny world, where only his opinions matter.

What really matters to me is that my/our Club continues to exist and plays in the National League. To that end the High Court and the National League committee are our best hopes of finally getting a grip on this total shyster and forcing him to pay his debts and finally sell the Club. They absolutely must give him nowhere to go. That said I will be continuing to grace Ronny Manor when the call goes out, crutch and all.

Let’s hope sooner rather than later

One of the groups interested in buying the club is about all i can say.

Cricko, now you seem pessimistic about any ‘consortium’ - I guess this didn’t pan out- are you able to reveal any more about who this was that approached you?

 

[Tampa Blue]

Every day this drags on I fall out of love with football a little bit more, congrats RM

I think you'll find this has been the case the whole summer, not just for the last couple of weeks.

It's good that you are sharing your inside knowledge with fans, but I feel you got fans over hyped that we were close to a takeover when in actual fact it was a consortium trying to come together to table an offer.

However the reality is that they were always going to have to take on Ron, and that was not going to be as easy as i feel you thought it may be.

I'm not calling you out in any way, we all have the clubs best interest at heart, but I don't feel you constantly leading fans on to believe something good is just around the corner is doing anybody any favours.

So many conversations, so little action.
