Breaking News BOND RESIGNS!

[Phil_in_blue]

Was he pushed? Looks better on a CV to say resigned than sacked??

 

[Goughy]

Thank god for that

 

[Strike Force]

New manager has a lot to live up to in the fashion stakes. Sweater, slacks and sneakers will be Bond's legacy.

I would imagine Ron in the big swivel chair, stroking his fluffy white cat made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Playoffs here we come


If you can’t dream what’s the point of it all

 

[Yer Blues]

Who wrote that article? Great news terribly written.

 

[NZamba Legend]

Great news just as everyone prepares to get on the beers. Nice timing Ron.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

I would say a deal was done, as I think he would have got more of a payout officially if sacked. Anyway, most of us have said bad things about him the last week especially, and we don't need to slag him off anymore. We move on, we go again. Now the talk can be just about the new Manager. Here's praying Ron gets it right this time.

I really didnt like the way that some of our fans treated him, particularly the chanting at the last home game. He didnt come along to do a bad job here, but the situation here obviously doesn't suit his skills.

I will remain grateful for helping to keep us up, and he has strengthened our squad with his signings. He just wasnt able to get the lads to play to his philosophy, or seemingly adapt that philosophy to our league one level skills!

I wasnt convinced he was the right man for the job when he joined, but was fully prepared to back him. However, I think that he has done the honourable thing, while our season is still salvagable. I would still want to wish him good luck for the future, regardless. I think he is a good man, probably a good coach, but is lacking as a league one manager.

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Thank god. Terrible manager, terrible tactics, lack of respect when he refused to interview. I do not want him anywhere near Southend again.

Having said that, i wish him all the best for his future, hopefully he can go to West Ham to try and get them relegated.

 

[Shrimper]

Tilson caretaker please

 

[Stuart W]

At least we should now be able to settle the argument as to whether the squad is good enough or not (I still say it was 65% Bond and 35% deficient players that have got us into this mess).
Major changes required in next transfer window whoever is in charge.

 

[NZamba Legend]

Tilson caretaker please

I would feel whole again

 

[palexander]

I've heard something about a manager coming down from Scotland to talk to Ron, no idea who?

I heard its Paul Sturrock!! CONFIRMED!!

A wee birdie told me (lol - remember those days....)

 

[Tinks]

Let’s now look forward and not back

 

[Bluegoose]

Lets hope we get someone not a "fan's favorite", who actually knows what they are doing. As for the players, lets hope a few / most actually give up Sunday league and step up.

 

[Colchester and proud!]

My thoughts too!

I doubt his CV matters too much at this stage of his life. There will still be scouting opportunities available for him to top up the pension.

As for whether he was pushed I wouldn't be at all surprised if Bond has said "I can't work with [financial restrictions/players doing X/chairman meddling etc]" and Ron's gone in that case I accept your resignation.

If Harry gets another job he can always go back to putting out the cones. (Sorry, that's probably too harsh)

 

[Ernie Brand]

Tilson and Barrett ASAP please

No thank you, returning old players never works eg CP
