    In Ireland, a Picture of the High Cost of Austerity

    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/29/business/global/29austerity.html Ireland has slashed its budget, abandoned infrastructure and raised taxes to pay off with the deficit - with the result not only of deeper recession but an actual increase in borrowing. We're hearing a lot about the fate of...

    Shaving

    Southend 'tache XI

    The beard XI (mascot Mark Beard) need a team to play. Obviously Billy Best had a goalscoring record nearly as legendary as his 'tache, but otherwise I think the pickings may be thin as it seems to be more quantity over quality. Excluding the late Jimmy Walker's pathetic effort, was Donut the...

  9. Lionel Messi's NOTW Interview

    On a Sunday I usually get a copy of the News of the Screws as well as the Observer purely for the actually impressive football coverage, and today the supplement has an "exclusive" interview with Lionel Messi. Good, I thought. During the interview, something came up that i've certainly not...

    Green shoots

    I genuinely believe economic green shoots are starting to appear. This time last year, we made redundancies. Several months ago, we got 10% pay cuts. Now, theyre talking about reinstating our 10%, and increasing our product range. Car sales are up, and from the FT this morning, France and...

    Ron's Blog 3/7/09

    Chairman's Blog I promised to let you have my thoughts upon my “likes and dislikes of the football industry”. I can sum this up in one four letter word beginning with f… yes you’ve got it FANS! My immediate thought is that the most likeable part of football is winning. However on reflection...
  12. Breaking News Chairman's Blog 19/05/09

    I promised to advise on the frequency of blogs at least through the close season. Following a number of emails from supporters on the subject I have settled on three weekly intervals which will take us into the end of the first week of the season (9th June, 30th June, 21st July, 11th August)...

    Chairman's Blog 12th May

    Chairman's Blog I believe I have now answered all those questions – either singularly or combined – that have been sent to the Club’s media department. There were one or two “stragglers” but these points were covered in earlier responses. I have yet to come to a...

    Ron's Blog 6/5/09

    Haven't seen this anywhere else yet...... Chairman's Blog What a good day Saturday was and with nothing to play for I thought that the team performed well and remained committed to the cause right to the end. It was also a day to celebrate the success of the Club’s youth policy which, I...

    Rons Blogg

    Chairman's Blog Firstly before I deal with Q&A there are one or two things to clear up. The first relates to Peter Clarke and an article in today’s Echo. In last week’s blog I set out the position, once again, surrounding Peter but for the record there have been no discussions with Peter...
  16. Chairman's Blog - 24th March

    Chairman's Blog As promised the Club’s media department has sifted through all the emails received to date and amalgamated these into the most frequently asked questions including some unusual ones. I am told that some of the emails have been paraphrased but I am sure they include the gist. I...

    Surely selling off Royal Mail right now is sheer stupidity?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7906418.stm Apparently, the Government is thinking about selling off Royal Mail. Now I find this baffling. Throughout this entire financial crisis a lot of the blame has been put at the doors of online companies for robbing the high street of passing...
  19. Zone Update Ron's Blog-17-02-09

    Chairman's Blog This week’s topic – Youth Development – is one of my favourites. This is probably in recognition that the Club’s advancement must be from organic growth. Over the last couple of weeks I have talked about player purchase and the increased structure that we have, and are...
