Sorry I have just listened to the article twice. RM clearly states that it should have been picked up by senior management but also that apology was not conditional and he didn’t shirk the are you embarrassed question either.
Very well said Jai, however there is no stopping the man's ego. I am expecting to hear any day now that he has just personally invested 2mill into the training pitches.(which of course would be added to our debt to him)Ron's got a bit of a nerve going on the radio about this and criticising the people who are working hard to bring much-needed income into the club.
Not only does it keep the story going (It was very funny when it was OUR story but once the media has got involved it's now just very annoying to see other clubs' fans mocking us etc), it also undermines the people that have saved Ron's arse over the last 14 months.
Over the last couple of months he appears to be creeping back into the fold which is a worry. Things run much smoother without him. Stick to the stadium Ron.
Haven't quite got enough time to trawl through the eight pages (so far) on this but just in case no-one else has shared this ...

But it's not, is it? It's named after an Estate Agents. The rest is in the heads of those that remember Rose West.I just find it strange how know one picked up about the name at the time..... Surely someone would of look at it thought that doesn't look right we can't sign it off. Ceo has got to take his fair share of stick in this unfortunately situation we have found ourselves in. Having a stand named after serial killer is wrong on many levels.
It's words of an estate agent with a side of the compass put together, I can guarantee nobodies first thoughts were that they were naming it after a serial killer, evidently. This has been blown so far out of proportion by people and mainly the media), it's really not that deep and is just a bit of word play, christ almighty.I just find it strange how know one picked up about the name at the time.....

If I were in TL's position I would be the first to say I'd ****ed up. It's a genuine **** up and it happens to everyone so RM shouldn't have called him out but it is also the reality.Hung TL out to dry on that. Not great from Ron IMO… learnt his man management skills from Phil Brown.
Far better to say, we missed it as a club. We are changing it.
I guess but surely they would of saw the rose west bit and thought "not sure about this" I do agree the media have blown it out of proportion.It's words of an estate agent with a side of the compass put together, I can guarantee nobodies first thoughts were that they were naming it after a serial killer, evidently.

I don't understand why people think it would've instantly picked up? I reckon no one would've probably realised if Napper didn't notice in the first place, it is literally just an estate agents name before 'West Stand'. It only got attention once someone from The Athletic picked it up and tweeted it.I guess but surely they would of saw the rose west bit and thought "not sure about this" I do agree the media have blown it out of proportion.
Tom has probably thought, like most people, that it was just an unfortunate combination of words. It's been blown out of proportion. Ron should have said WE should have picked it up, not singled out senior management. Southend UNITED?If I were in TL's position I would be the first to say I'd ****ed up.

I'll be honest I don't how it viral but everywhere I look online it's their. Simon jordan on talksport pretty much hammered the Chairman and the club for naming a stand which has the name rose west in it. I kind of agree with him, it should of been picked up by someone in the club before it was printed on tickets/stadium plan on the club site. All blow over next week I guess.I don't understand why people think it would've instantly picked up?

By far the most embarrassing bit of the whole episode.
