Funny how every body just assumes Chris Powell would be interested in Southend job and all the Pressure that goes with the job. He may well be enjoying his new job of scouting for Spurs and doing T.V. work for sky no pressure in either of them jobs like he would get here and a lot more job security..
I don’t think it’s that. These things take time - contracts need to be drawn up, CP will need to approach whoever he wants in his back room team and then Ron will need to negotiate their contracts, have lawyers draw them up etc. These things all tend to happen in parallel and new managers tend not to sign on the dotted line until everything is in place. Completely sensible, completely normal and there’s no big rush - we know CP won’t be in charge on Saturday. I’ve no doubt he (if indeed he is the choice for manager) will have already had a discussion with Ron about possible player targets to bring in during this window. I’d say the action will be taking place next week, not this week.
