Correct Robbie is subsidising the club less and less to the point where in a couple of seasons we will have to be totally self sufficient. He has spent a lot of money on the two training facilities and youth set up but he will recoup that outlay with the few hundred houses he intends to build in Tiptree!
great I'm looking forward to seeing col u back in non league football:omg:
 
latest tweet from CP has PB stating that the meeting with the striker today "would be a very intersting signing, if we could get it done."
It never seems to change, does it. Instead of calmly focusing on our trip to Fleetwood on Saturday, we find ourselves rife with speculation as to whether our first choice goalkeeper is leaving and whether we are going to manage to strengthen our almost bare bones of a squad. :sad:
 
Ron has had to give out very good contracts to those who have renewed from last season as well as pay top dollar to the new signings.... budget issues are the reasons for lack of numbers....

sign him up!!!!!
 
Most of that stuff he was found not guilty of. I know that a lot of criminals get re-housed in Southend, is this why we are signing him up?
 
Doubt this means the striker is from Blackpool, when else has CP got opinions from other fans about potential targets? He's also asked people from Barnsley and Burton to DM him. He's probably just getting together a season preview with views from fans of other clubs.
