Although it can also be said that league football wasn't on the table when the club did reportedly make an offer. There's nothing to say making an offer wasn't the trigger for the EFL club coming in, or being alerted to the potential that a deal could be done. We just don't know; I'm sure this sort of thing has happened hundreds of times over a number of years, but the difference in the social media age is that more people become aware of things.

Is data being the reason we dithered confirmed from an ITK, or is it just a scapegoat people have decided on?

Fair enough, but the way you worded it made it seem like you were saying we had no chance and this situation proves it.
If all you're really saying is that you shouldn't count your chickens before they're hatched, then I completely agree. But, that still doesn't mean we wouldn't have signed him.

@Scapegoat supports Oldham squire, so it is partially their fault.

We were significantly above Oldham av attendance. Stop sneaking in those ribbers me little scummer, i'm watching ya
I assume you're taking your attendance figures from Football Web Pages. For some reason, I don't think their average figures are correct. If you extract to an Excel Spreadsheet, our crowds were the highest in the National League. If you look at all home games (including cups) then theirs (including their play-off quarter final) is 6408 and ours is 7139.
If you exclude cup and play off games and just look at the 23 home games in the regular league season, ours is 7339 and Oldham's is 6073.
Whichever way you cut it, we had the highest crowds in the National League last season, not Oldham (and by some distance too).

Hopefully he'll be kicking himself when we replace them in League 2 at the end of next season.

No mention of Cashmans agent
Any agent worth his salt would still be flouting his client possibly saying “Southend have made an offer obviously thinking Cashman would be good enough for a step up to the EFL with them, so can any of you EFL clubs offer him a better deal?”
Or am I just being cynical

I'm not sure, I was just correcting our friend from up the A12 who was under the misapprehension that we weren't the best supported club in the National League (although he's not disputing we're the biggest club in Essex!).

It’s because for some reason, that page has included Wembley as a ‘home’ game for Oldham and as part of their average attendance.
As you say, ours was much higher.
Anyway, back on topic now, any more transfer rumours?
How about Spasov? @Magnum PI made a cryptic comment about an overseas signing and he would seem to fit the bill.

Not sure that is 100% correct. The stats appear to include Oldham's home play-off game against Halifax. We had to play this round away at Rochdale. Whereas across the regular season I believe Southend's attendances were higher. Happy to be corrected I have got this wrong.
BTW, I write this as someone who lives in Colchester!

Er, no it didn’t! We were 1,000 up on them on average. Something has gone awry with the calculation of Oldham’s average on FootballWebPages’ NL attendances page. I’m guessing that’s where you looked?
Oldham’s average was around 6,000 going into the last game - on FWP and everywhere else. We were 1,000 + ahead. One attendance of 10,000 in their final match does not add 2,000 to your average over 23 matches!
If you click to see their game by game attendances there were loads with 4k and 5k attendances. We certainly had a higher average than them last season.
