Latest Rumours SUFC up for sale

[Mad Cyril]

Does anyone have any info on who the other 2 parties are?

Tony Stark and Bruce wayne

 

[palexander]

Think people need to take a breath. As if the Rock is gonna be a part of anything to do with us.

If you think you're gonna see Dwayne Johnson in a Southend scarf standing in the directors box ala Ryan Reynolds on a weekly basis, then you need sectioning.

Probably don't exist. Trying to drive the price up and compare phallus sizes.

Presumably Kimura (local consortium aka The Snooker Bid), the Basketball Bid, and the London Consortium (no known names?)

Story leaks putting pressure on Ron to sign, this Rock story- how would CP find out, surely its being fed to build pressure. .

Ron points out not so fast there are three bidders (aka sharpen your pencil there are others chomping at the bit)

Reference to NDA (slap across the knuckles maybe).

Sounds like squeaky bum time for the negotiations. Don't forget even if Ron isn't the worlds best negotiator there are no flies on Moxley and crew and they wont be "bounced"

Rigsby and Strumpet Steve

Wish they could announce the sale sooner rather than later - I'm not sure how long I can get away with constantly refreshing this, Chris Phillips twitter page and the website continuously while at work

It says he is set to produce a documentary not invest in the club? Presumably because if he produces it then it opens up wider global visibility incl. the US

I have wasted nearly half my life waiting for a SZ thread like this.

I get scepticism, but it sometime's feels like it's for scepticism's sake.

Chris has a contact or two within the Kimura/ISM group, so this isn't speculation and he's heard it from a primary source.

Exactly this, if he is now mixing with some big names his ego alone will make him play hard ball. Let's hope his game playing does not come back to bite him...

He was creaming his pants over Harry Redknapp, God knows what he will do now..

And now you're in danger of wasting the other half on it...

I mean, not being funny, buy... "why?" is my question;

But it can now also be revealed that the group have made contact with Johnson and his production company, Seven Bucks Productions, are interested in making a documentary on the National League club should the takeover be confirmed.

The Wrexham one I get to a degree... it was a novelty and Ryan and Rob are proper hands on, so it has that appeal to American audiences.

I dunno.... I'd love to know what source Phillips has for that information cos it sounds like he's getting fed garbage just to put the screws on Ron accepting the bid. Get the fans excited/onside to put pressue on accepting etc.

 

[E for B and Billy Best]

Hopefully this means tied to one of the oars, rather than operating it?

Or screwing one...oh no, sorry you said oars.

 

[Mad Cyril]

I can't imagine Ron is looking forward to the prospect of an SUFC documentary.

 

[Batman]

I think the Club are trying to curb the excitement and expectation never a great thing when you are trying to negotiate, I think the story of the Rock was the final straw. Hold your nerves this has got a few twists and turns before its done but blimey its not boring is it!

 

[Napster]

I can't imagine Ron is looking forward to the prospect of an SUFC documentary.

I hope Rio Alderton makes a cameo

I know one of the interested parties - they pulled out but are still I think under an NDA. I wonder if Ron’s included them in the 3.

 

[1966 and all that]

The offer everyone has been talking about for 2 days on this very forum.

The one mentioned in national and local press:

Local group in talks to buy Southend, Ray Winstone could join board

A group of local businessmen are in advanced talks to buy Southend United in a deal that could result in English actor Ray Winstone joining the club’s board. The Essex-based team were relegated to the National League in 2021, bringing an end to 101 years of continuous membership of the English...

Yes, but what’s the offer?

I can picture Dwayne surreptitiously sitting in a MacDonald's carpark in a Buick secretly recording his call with Ron.
