2024, the year of the Shrimpers ⭐🦐
There is absolutely no denying that we are at a disadvantage compared to every other side in this league. Obviously I don’t know the full ins and outs at other clubs, so I’m happy to be corrected if that’s not the case.
We started the summer under a transfer embargo, and as a result, lost out on numerous targets. I can give you a list of some of them, but most have been mentioned.
Our training ground really isn’t fit for purpose. We have got the right infrastructure at the training ground to make full use of it. The gym is hand me down bits and bobs, the pitches are a disgrace, they aren’t properly maintained and so on.
We’ve lost a key member of the coaching team in David Martin, who we want to replace, but so far we haven’t. Whether that’s a case of not finding the right person, budgetary constraints, or a combination of the two, I’m not sure.
Our physio department, and this isn’t me just slagging off JG again, isn’t fit for purpose. Forgetting JG, we don’t have the back up to him, the right people in the right places. I believe Stef Russo is still S&C, and he is excellent by the way, but we don’t have a proper department there.
Kev is frustrated, frustrated at this takeover and the length of time it’s taking, frustrated about not being able to get in the players he wants at the moment, frustrated about the training ground, just generally frustrated at the moment, like we all are.
The deal is progressing, but obviously hasn’t been signed, sealed and delivered. That’s frustrating people both in and out of the club.
Once it’s official, I imagine there will be a whole wrath of changes, money being spent to improve areas and so forth.
We are in a much better position than last summer, however we aren’t sipping on champagne. It will come, and the sooner it comes the better.
