I can see it going to extra time

 

[Holy Joe]

It's strange how talks are described as positive, if we've had Ron stating to protesters that he'll agree to council demands and citizen housing reportedly agreeing subject to some negotiation. It sounds like we've gone backwards over the past 24 hours - I don't describe that as positive - unless the positive is that no one has murdered anyone - yet.

I hope they just close their suitcases and tell him he has until 6pm to agree or there is no deal whatsoever.

Let's hope they also do it Walter Sobchak in the Big Lebowski film when he resorts to plan B (but around the rats head).

Needs to be done, let him hold onto his FF land (and never let him build on it) Let his debts keep accruing more and more interest. Only thing I dont understand, how can a person be in so much debt and yet live up essex way and drive around in a Bentley. How is he not on the streets.

He's basically saying if I go down, im taking Southend United FC with me.

Yeah I can see Rat man kicking the can down the road for the millionth time & getting away with it.
Its not looking like anyone involved with the council has got the cojones to hold him to a strict deadline

Let me be wrong please

I think we are all drained beyond comprehension now, we need some form of finality one way or the other.It has gone on to long and we have all been worn down to oblivion with quotes of DD and progress.

I'm not smart enough to know how these shysters do it. The amount of debt he's in would force the average person to sell his house, car and anything of value.

I know. Soo draining, isn't it. I think i'll relax by watching the highlights of yesterdays England match. Then again....

Looks like Ron's been watching too much Succession.

Shame he can't die on a plane.
Too much?

The car is probably leased (paid for by the club) and it wasnt there last time we were, the house is now in his wifes name and rat sons will no doubt cover bills, but i still think he has syphoned money over the years to Mezcal.

When Rat talks to fans outside his house, he tells them what they want to hear. He is playing games, it means people go away thinking it's going to be ok.
But we all know his narcissistic ways and what he has told people is utter tosh.

It's the way he works and for this reason no one should ever trust a word the man says.

The thought of Martin huddled in WH Smith’s doorway, absolutely potless, on a bitterly frosty cold January night with only his burning resentment to keep him warm cheers me up no end.

Was there a deadline of 5pm or anything? Or just 21st June?

6pm apparently

If our beloved club weren't at the heart of this deal, I'd love to see SCC & COSU walk and watch the fun as his creditors come for him.

 

[old leigh shrimper]

This seems like the longest day.....

 

[Richard Hearn]
