I've put some money aside from April this year to buy champagne to toast getting rid of the rat. This would be unbelievable toast at Christmas time if this can get over the line this week.

A priority to the lawyers and accountants? Probably not.

The consortium will be doing everything they can. But as I mentioned earlier, it is not all down to them.

Indeed they will be pushing like everyone else.
I can only talk from many years of contractual negotiation in the private sector. I've always avoided public sector - too frustrating. Thing I have always found is that if there is a clear deadline/drop dead time set, and its driven correctly by the principals, lawyers and accountants do what they need to do to get it done. I've done a few all nighters (these tend to concentrate the mind of all parties) to get the job done.
 
I’m hating the word ‘close’ this year, I’ve learnt that close could still mean a month or more away with our situation 🙃
 
Superb by Anna Firth. Brilliantly written and perfectly explains the current predicament affecting us, the management and especially the players. No other politician has gone above and beyond for Southend United. Teddy Taylor tried a bit, but not on this level. No, I'm not a Tory supporter, but when someone shines like this and tries so hard for our football club, then I have to call it out. Well done Anna Firth. Absolutely brilliant.
 
Of course absolutely correct as most of us have been saying throughout. I doubt it will make a difference. I hope the new regulatory environment promised and that may come into force (most promises are never delivered on as a norm) effectively oversees the league bodies. Often they are more of a problem than the clubs themselves.
