Breaking News Official at last. Maher,Currie,Bentley.

[South Bank Hank]

At half past by the sound of it. If Stan has got the main Head of Recruitment target he hinted at (initials DR from what I managed to work out) that will be a very interesting appointment indeed.

Dave Regis if we're still into ex-Shrimpers.

 

[stopwhispering]

Couldn’t be happier! No guarantees it will work out but thank you Stan for driving this, & also important to thank Ron, Tom & Gary for supporting it too.

 

[Callum]

I’m fired up for Saturday come in first team time to turn up and get us out the bottom half of the league

 

[Derbyshire Blue]

Genuinely excited, haven’t said that about our club in a while ? UTB ?

 

[CanveyCastle]

3 inspired signings.

We must get behind them and allow them time to work their magic.

 

[Wingnut]

Was not keen on Maher but having currie and Bentley it’s posit

 

[The Big Dady]

Dream Team

Kevin Maher the new Southend United's First Team Head Coach will be joined by new Assistant Head Coach Darren Currie and new First Team Coach Mark Bentley!

 

[KevinJH]

Aye, that'll do

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Great combo but what does each role involve?

 

[overseas shrimper]

Looks like a coaching team with great potential.

 

[Blue Yonder]

What an extraordinary evening. With two more to come if the five YEEEEESSSS is a clue.

 

[loz]

My favourite thing about that club statement (apart from confirming what looks like a strong coaching team) is that Ron is nowhere near it - Tom fronting up for the club as CEO an important signal that Ron maybe stepping back on football matters and is bought into the new structure. If that plays out, that's as big as any bit of news for me.

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

The man who turned his own Southend career around

The man who has been knocked back from this job previously, but battled back again

The only Southend player who’s name I’ve had on the back of my shirt

The man who has come back to manage us before his own testimonial

On top of all that is an absolute proper bloke

Delighted. ****ing delighted. Welcome home King Kev

 

[sufc4life21]

Looks decent setup ? just need stan to be announced as head of football operations to put icing on top of the cake.

 

[LennySUFC]

This just feels so good. I forgot what it feels like to be excited about this football club!

 

[NZamba Legend]

I love this so much. It’s going to work this time!!!

Proper Southend

 

[amsemp]

What a ****ing team ? absolutely buzzing with that. Feels like we’re well on the way to getting our club back. 3 good football people who know these leagues and know this club. Well done Stan the man and team!

Very surprised Currie has come in as assistant though. But not complaining!

 

[OrangeyBrown]

Doesn't get much better than that! It might not turn things around immediately but feeling more positive about our direction recently thanks to Stan

 

[South Bank Hank]

Very surprised Currie has come in as assistant though. But not complaining!

Something like Tilly with the more experienced Brush supporting him?

 

[kentblues]

Better than expected- and I am a resident optimist! Three very very good coaches. To get Maher and Currie (where either or would have been expected) is a great coup. Mark Bentley is a whopping great cherry on top. They all know the local area, the local leagues and will be locally based. Experience of the NL? Kev has managed NL South, Currie NL and Bentley at Canvey of course. All boxes with a huge great flashing tick! Well done the recruiting team. Really happy.
