Ron Martin is listed as subject on tomorrow’s Price Of Football podcast. Not spoke about us for a few weeks, wonder what’s gone on there?

Randomly was asking a question from a fan about would RM get his debt back if putting club in admin. Felt like travelling back in time a month and a half. Nowt to see hear.

Hope it goes ahead but selfishly can wait till Tuesday. Got Peter kay tickets over a year ago trust happens to be on potentially biggest day in club’s history

Like most things Southend related it’s bound to drag on past the 17th .
my personal view is it will be early December, nothing goes to schedule with our club.

Transfer embargo, new ownership dragging on, its killing this season. My god how many years has it been since we werent under a transfer embargo?
I'm going along on Saturday to support the lads but knowing we've little chance of three points.
Actually in a league with no transfer windows to worry about, what a waste of an opportunity.

Agreed. The only glimmer of hope is next season we should say goodbye to Chesterfield who are and will be runaway Champions. So with a proper pre-season, no embargo or off-field crap. We should hopefully be well placed to make an assault on the title 2024/25. That is where I am at anyway. Whatever will be will be this season.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

I dare say things will be sorted out by the end of the year with the embargo finally lifted in January.

Certainly hope so!.

Hi all, all seems to be very quiet. Yesterday on the pitch was a disappointing result but this week is so much more than any football match. so question is, will the takeover happen Friday as planned? I’ve not seen anything to suggest it won’t but nothing concrete to say it will. Anyone ITK got confidence one way or the other? Ticket sales already good fir Saturday. If we get good news Friday RH will be bouncing Saturday even more than usual

 

[JAL]

Won’t be finished this week, but the only good thing on our side is that the National League transfer window doesn’t close, and we’re coming up to January in which the EFLs window does open and clubs will be moving players around. Meaning we should be able to recruit and make a big push in the second half of the season, it definitely probably won’t be automatic promotion (how this league still only has one of these spots is beyond me), but hopefully a strong push in the playoffs or a strong start of building for next season will be in place.

its allready been said we will almost sure we will still be a natinal leauge side next season . But with the right bobys in the summer like wrexham we could be up there at the top next season .

 

[tommy tucker]

the right bodys it was ment to say we can be challangen for top spot .

Not the way to look at it. First it was Stockport (and Grimsby), then last season Wrexham and Notts County, and now it is Chesterfield. We can’t take the attitude of “let’s get rid of these sides because then we will get a good run at it next season.”No, because next year it will be someone like Oldham or Hartlepool or even Tranmere.
We have got to believe we are good enough to go up THIS season, and realistically the play-offs are very reachable. Still 81 points to play for. Think positive!

I was talking more about the off field stuff, but yes getting rid of Chesterfield won't be a bad thing either!
