You two are Bad Boys......
Genuinely makes you wonder about all the other assumptions that have been made over the years.....it’s almost like no one has any idea about what’s actually going on.....
interesting comment ... are you implying that some of our ITK posters are prone to talking bollox ?

Not quite, as I don't think he'd describe you as ITK
Gotta agree with the above - look at the team news for the Newport game - plenty of updates on other injured / suspended players but no Sim.The fact that the communication between the club and fans has been so poor for the last decade or so, with such negative news as embargos, unpaid players, court appearances, winding up orders etc., that anything that comes to light that didn't directly come from the club causes a greater rift between the club and fans, leading to more distrust.
Therefore, of course fans will put scraps of information together when there is little being given to us.
Fact 1: Akinola suddenly stopped playing under Phil Brown after the Exeter game, with NO reason given. Maybe that is down to those asking.
Fact 2: Phil Brown said he thinks players are "hiding in the treatment room".
Conclusion: Akinola has fallen out with Phil Brown and is off soon.
Not a single mention of Akinola being unavailable in any of the pre-match team news or pre-match interview with Phil Brown for the Colchester United, Leyton Orient, Barrow, or Newport game. In fact the last news on Akinola was that he trained on the 9th April before the Crawley game, which he didn't make the match day squad for.
While we don't need to know every detail about what goes on at the club, I think important details such as a transfer embargo and knowing if your best striker (not difficult given the current state) is injured and requiring surgery are very important details to fans.

BIG PREVIEW: SOUTHEND VS NEWPORT - News - Southend United
Hopefully the club will learn from this PR fiasco and keep us up to date by posting x rays and CT scans so we don't jump to any conclusions in the future.
Sure. Wanna meet at Snappy Snaps? Or there's a public convenience that's pretty nice.Come on! I’m your man - a ray of sunshine if you will! Give me your credit card baby and I’ll give you freedom!
