Embracing the national league

[Tommy2holes]

At the end of the day.

We will need a monumental clear out. An experienced manager, be it brown or another with much lower league experience and to recruit within our means.

One of these days we'll finish a season and not need a total clear out and a new manager :(.

We need a proper manager with some success in his past, who knows ron, the lower leagues, the budget, and wants to stay for the long term.

You could easily argue Phil Brown is the man to do that.

On what I saw yesterday I could be persuaded that he is. However, has he any experience of National League?.........and a bigger question still, would he want to have???

We are going to have to embrace it because I don’t think our slide is anywhere near ending. I think we will be lucky if we get mid table!

Yep its more then likely whether pb wants to or not, and what budget ron would give him.

I imagine brown is the kind of manager who broadly speaking thinks football is football no matter the level.

As PB has just come back from managing a club in India, I don’t think managing in the NL will phase him and for us it’s better the devil you know rather than the last three odd ️ ? ? we’ve had.

If/when we get relegated, we should start wearing Blue and yellow again.

That should facilitate a swift return to the league.

 

[Zeuss]

I noticed in PB interview he made a reference about Oxley and about other clubs coming in for him - is he planning something ?

Totally unsurprising—excellent keeper—so obviously our player-of -the-year. Hobson second,Demitriou third.

 

[OllieSteph44]

Well all Elvis ever does now is go backwards, used to bomb up the wing

Was that around the time that most Southend fans spent every week complaining about how poor a defender he was?

 

[Shrimperjohn]

In a bizarre sort of way I’d much rather be supporting our club in the National League than be a fan of the money grabbing group of six premier clubs who are selling their soul in the setting up of a European Super League.

100% this. It’s time.

 

[NZamba Legend]

I've not read anything yet about Southend's involvement in the European Super League. Are we playing a PR game here like Bayern or PSG? Can anyone update?

Can't for one minute believe Ron wasn't at the top table for these negotiations. Plus we have won the same amount of league titles as Spurs.

This.

It's more important that the players that are here next season embrace the NL. They need to roll their sleeves up and get their hands dirty doing everything they can to get us back up.

If they go into the season with the attitude that "we shouldn't be here, we're too big a club", they'll struggle.

His age wont help but we already have Goodship and Akinola. It would appear there is more to it than just signing hungry, scoring for fun, non league rough diamonds.

He is 29, hardly old. He is playing in the NL where we will be next season dont you think he could do a job for us (assuming he want to join us)? Also he appears to stay injury free unlike our strikers.

 

[Amwell Blue]

I just hope we can get 10 points before all the leaves drop off the trees

His current club appear to be quite stable, so he would be used to relying on regular payment of wages and stuff like that.

 

[Seaside Shrimper]

Ron tried that nearly 20 years ago it was called kid for a quid in south lower I doubt more than 50 turned up and it would be interesting how many go now as adults.

Me!

Howard is King Lynn best player, as they took him on loan from our U23, he could start for us next season at RB.
