[SUFCGoals]

Looks like some players have already been told they’re moving on

 

[Shrimper]

Finley Purcell?

 

[Smiffy]

The Academy exodus begins.

 

[Jim Levenstein]

Sandat only academy player who’s been paid

Hahaha what a **** Ron really is

 

[Willis]

I’ve heard that as we didn’t get promoted this season, the academy players are free to leave contractually (altho I don’t believe all academy players have been told this)

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Echo confirming this morning that Hobson is off.

 

[Shrimper]

Echo confirming this morning that Hobson is off.

Where'd you see that?

 

[Smiffy]

Echo confirming this morning that Hobson is off.

Have they? I've not seen that.

99.99% sure that is happening though and would expect him to end up somewhere nearer Manchester

 

[Shrimper95]

I’ve heard he’s being linked with Accrington Stanley, not sure if anyone else has heard this?

 

[Jai]

He's definitely leaving because he wants to move back closer to home. I don't know where he's going though.

Who are they?

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Was on the back page. Favours a move back up north.

 

[stewart]

I wish him all the best . Thanks for the service Shaun good luck for the future.

 

[rlb999]

Getting him will be hard.

Oh I don't know. I'm sure he's heard really good things about Southend and is keeping his many offers on hold in the hope that we may come in for him.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Is this Tom Bonner we’re talking about? 35 year old Dartford defender? No chance we would be interested in a 35 year old NLS defender.

It is worth distinguishing between "signing" a player and "registering" a player?

Under an embargo, we (Southend United) cannot register any players as I understand it ....... but does this stop the club from identifying additional players, negotiating contracts with them & offering them a contract? The new people can't play for Southend United until they have been registered, yes?

Or is that wrong?

This would a useful approach if the presumed sale was progressing well. Whether that approach would be of interest to the players the club is targeting is another matter.

Thats what Paul sturrock did .Signed many players on a pre contract .And if kevinn did the same untill the new owerners take over only time will tell .

 

[Amwell Blue]

The problem is how can they negotiate with players if they don't know the budget for next year

 

[The General]

As "revealed" by me on post 12 page 1 on this thread. I'm sure CPs known this for a while anyway so he's probably been sitting on this.

They have all been told to find new clubs u16 and down
