Campbell downing tools after the poor sods now only left with 50,000,0000

Just reading Sol Campbell's biography and it's a fascinating insight into his personality and what has made him the person he is today. He is a self-made man from an impoverished background. Everything he has now has been achieved by his own hard work. He has no respect for charlatans and I can only imagine he has nothing but disdain for Ron at the moment. Why should he use his money to bail someone else out of a mess of their creation?

Ron chooses the managers with due diligence of course! So much of the blame for this season is at his door for the Bond appointment and then the holiday followed by 6 wasted weeks with the club in free all. Remember this is not the first time he has sacrificed a managers chances with non payments to players. With regard to the financial side all decisions for many years have been based on FF succeeding... which doesn't necessarily mean that during that process that all funds have been directed to the playing side. It was a gamble with huge rewards for Ron and the club if the promises he made with regard to future of club funding were met.Without ron we would have no club! Must be really easy running a football club and having to find huge tax payments on a regular basis?ron backed the managers and they was the ones who signed these players!! How they perform on the pitch is not down to ron!! and because they havent performed money isnt coming through the turnstiles so that must be rons fault too?
Oh yes I did.
Hope that was tongue in cheek because Sol Campbell, in the circumstances, has been an absolute professional and should be commended
Although of course, with the players barely training this week, one could be excused for questioning such managerial methods, and professionalism.
Especially considering the manager supposedly hasn’t been paid his wages.
I struggle to believe that even his doubters would not at least credit how he has conducted himself and how he achieving what he is on the pitch at this time. To the extent young players on who we are relying need a positive role model in adversity I would suggest they are getting a positive learning.
Or who knows even two or perhaps three.. :-)
(Sorry couldn't resist..)
If the government force clubs to play behind closed doors or delay the football season, Southend could be the 1st club to die from COVID-19! For your folks sake I hope your club get out of this mess eventually, it really does sound very grim this time.

I said as much on another thread, but actually there's also an alternative view (not necessarily one I subscribe to though).
Given how bad our crowds are at the moment I doubt our ticket sales etc. really count for a lot. Add to that the fact that Ron is (apparently) securing funds for the rest of the season and next we may actually come out of this rather unscathed in comparison to other clubs.
You can't believe a word he says that's the problem.I said as much on another thread, but actually there's also an alternative view (not necessarily one I subscribe to though).

Ron is securing funds for the rest of this season and next?
Ok, so does this include settling the HMRC debt, having monies set aside for the HMRC bills next season, player and staff wages and all other running and admin costs?
Anyone wish to place a figure upon the above, and then suggest where Ron is getting the funds from.
