[The General]

Just confirming what we already knew then really!

 

[Gremlin]

Perfect timing, Tilly.

 

[Badger74]

Really miss tilly even though Sturrock has done an amazing job.
Wish Martin would pay him up what he is due.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Shouldn't this be in Ex-Shrimpers ??





** dons tin hat and runs away **

 

[Fish]

nice of the journalist to raise the question in the leadup to the game. Hope it doesn't distract Tilly between now and 5pm Saturday.

Seriously though, feel sorry for the man, I really do. Telling that Brushy kept counsel pointedly in the foreground.

 

[Bolton Shrimper]

Liked the way Tilly used the inferences we,and us in the interview.....Always a Shrimper....................Pay him Ron,NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Just doesn't look right seeing Tilson with a Lincoln crest on his jacket.

 

[shrimperhosk]

If we are as skint as they say then id sooner pay the current crop than Tilly anyday, YES he was a great manager for us etc etc but right now the fact is we cant afford to pay him **** i hear even cheques for like £50 are bouncing no NO CHANCE

 

[turkishm]

So if the players have been paid, if the Revenue have been paid, and we are looking to lift the embargo, does this stop it. This bloody Chairman, o when will he bugger of.

It's the same situation as with HMRC, and all of our other creditors. We won't pay them until we physically have to in order to keep the club in business/out of administration. Unfortunately morals don't come into it, least of all from Ronald for whom Tilly was just another employee. Like it or not, our ability to pay HMRC will always be prioritised, followed by other more pressing creditors, then the current players and staff, followed lastly by Tilly.

It stinks and is not the way to treat one of the greatest servants this club has ever had but at the moment it seems to be the way we have to operate to keep the club afloat.

 

[grassroots]

Remember that nice Ron Martin who was deeply upset that people were saying nasty things about him. Remember how he (almost) managed to smooth us sceptics over at the Palace Hotel meeting? The man is a property developer and as slippery as they come - there are no limits to the depths he will go and the future of our Club remains in his grubby little hands!!

 

[Fairport]

I really hope Steve goes ahead and reports Martin who needs to be shown up for the way he runs his businesses. I am sure Tilly will get advice from the League Managers Association.

 

[Swiss Tony]

Tilly and Brushy Southend legends,not bloody half.

http://www.southendunited.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10444~2313042,00.html ::::::::::::::::::OS response!

 

[McNasty]

Someone is not right if one party says they are owed money and the other side say they have been paid.

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

interesting....
IF what is said on the OS is true, then well done Ron for handling it. I suspect this may be down to the difference between "gardening leave" and sacking. If we paid Tilly his basic salary up until when he joined Lincoln (or as the OS says he CHOSE to join Lincoln) then they will say why should they pay him to the end of his contract.

Obviously in football the custom and practice seems to be to pay up a contract (or an agreed proportion) when a manager leaves "by mutual consent" and this is probably where the dispute lies.

Personally, legend or no legend I do not wish to pay Tilly scarce SUFC funds for wages after he has started to draw a salary from another employer.

I'm guessing that there is still a dispute over the remainder of Tilly's contract to be paid up.

Well who do you believe? Tilly or Honest Ron ?

The tone of the response is uncalled for too.

Without knowing the facts it's difficult to comment meaningfully, but the suggestion that Ron deserves any credit or congratulations for his behaviour in this sorry saga, beggars belief.
