Maybe PB with Maher and Fagan assisting, maybe PB in the dreaded Director of Football role with a coaching team of suitable died in the wool Blues until I die coaches (one as Head Coach)..

Phil Brown as director of football would be more irresponsible than putting Harry Redknapp there. Let's not forget it was Brown who began this tradition of signing overpaid has-beens.

Odds up already. Know it‘s early but think they’re way off the mark. No Maher or Fagan and Gary Waddock at 14/1?!

 

[SUFCStu]

I will say thanks for improving things compared to Bond or even Waddock. Of course Martin not paying wages hasn't helped..

For the love of all things now Ron, you have no excuses to wait X amount of weeks to appoint someone. Someone who is the right fit, not just a big name.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Fantastic news. We need someone who is committed to the club to the point of knowing what team they are managing and getting the players names right!

I'd hope it would be someone who isn't completely up their own arse and social media obsessed

 

[amsemp]

Just put a tenner on Adam Barrett, All the noises being made point to that. 10/1 as well!

Some great banter names on there:

Mark Milligan 20/1
Robbie Fowler 20/1

haha

Looks like Barrett now gone from 10/1 to 2/1 because of your tenner!

Sol not Bame then?

I’m talking about the next manager and getting financial help for the next appointment.

That tradition started long before PB and has continued since

 

[FiremanBlue]

Some one I would like to see is Tommy Wright, has worked with little money within the club , reduced an aging squad and help nurture the youngsters to first team
Has no ties to Southend and to me worth a punt

No idea? His family are NW- not sure what would keep him in the area. Rigsby might know :-)

cant talk right now as I’m in the bookies with a months rent from my new tenant ?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

He could have taken a pay cut, given that he’s a multi millionaire. There is more to it than this, I think he was fed up with it and Ron not pleased that he was fed up. Better for both parties to amicably split in these circumstances

Of course he was fed up. Do you think Ron's pitch to him was come and join us - I'll sell your best forward, get rid of half a dozen experienced players and you won't be able to replace them as we'll be under a transfer embargo oh and I can't afford to pay the wages and we'll probably get a points deduction next season because of it? (And all that happened before Covid hit). The signings he had lined up (Vassell, Osadebe and no doubt others) weren't going to happen because we are under an embargo. What sort of trust do you think he had in Ron and in Ron's ability to deliver the budget they discussed?

I hope this situation at least means that his replacement comes in with their eyes open and with a plan that doesn't get torn up because Ron's out of money. As fans we know the situation Sol inherited was bad but even we didn't realise quite how bad.

I joined with £20 at 6s which got it cut to 2s and I know nothing!

Another few quid must have got cut to evens. That's how little money moves these things. It can be completely ignored.

I thought he and his wife split

Fagans odds are suspended

 

[Cricko]

Nathan Jones ?

He's been gone to long.

 

[Moley]

Absolutely buzzing. Bring in Barrett & Maher now! And for those saying we need an experienced manager, take a look at Crewe with David Artell, not done too badly have they..

Thought I read that he was living somewhere near the Cotswolds probably where he was whilst Swindon manager.

You corrected that from Afghans just as I was putting proof up. Thought you were tapping my phone for a minute before you changed it to fagan

 

[North Devon Shrimper]

Glad he's gone. Never was or ever was going to be a Southend Man' Obvious he and Ron never got on.
Personally as other posters have said, would be well happy with AB or Maher at the helm. Tilson if he's up for it maybe.

Looking forward to a new era!

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Well I didn't see that coming and hopefully it won't have cost very much at all, if anything. Ron I am sure will be looking at all options.

Not sure, who I would like to see, Brown for me a big no thanks. Adam, can't see him leaving Millwall at present. How about Tilly with Craig Fagan and Mark Bentley as assistants.

Mind I would have Chris Powelll back in a flash, he was hard done by, plus he would be brilliant with the youngsters.
