But how much of that actually makes it to Ron. Or is does it hit SK and go no farther because at the moment let's be honest he couldn't give two ***** about us. He is off to another club and couldn't care less who will be managing us.
The squad is not good enough.
My biggest argument over this post is not about whether Brown should stay or go. It is that i completely disagree that we have a good enough squad. Where do you get that from? Our squad is much weaker than last season (Ranger may or may not improve it) and therein lies the problem.
The Manager is struggling for sure. The squad is not good enough.
They definitely do.
I only briefly touched on Oxley at the end as nobody needs a reminder. King? Poor.
A very weak squad. Pep would struggle to get this lot above 16th.
Dear Ron, please act as we are becoming a laughing stock.
A guy at work said to me the other day "You are a fan of Southend Nil, aren't you ?"
Hurt.
Not sure I agree - we have lost Bentley and Payne in short.
Whilst we have suffered a number of key injuries, the squad is largely 100% fit at present (if not all match fit/sharp), and we have some players with impressive pedigrees at this level and above (Cox, Mooney, Ranger, Ferdinand etc..) - the fact that Brown cannot pick and stick to a system, formation, style or tempo to suit the squad is the driving force behind our being so absolutely terrible every week - ergo, we need to sack him asap and bring in somebody who can gel this group of players, who, individually, I believe, are decent, but, as a team, are utterly woeful when playing under Brown's stewardship...
Just imagine for a second if Ron walked in the office to find individual letters from everyone on Shrimperzone...

Its becoming clear that Brown won't walk.
What I am not clear on despite all the angst and repeated 'come on Ron pull the trigger' etc can we actually afford to sack him....? How long has his contract to run...? How much (approximately) would it cost not only to pay him off (and any associated staff) but also there is the incoming Manager's salary. We won't attract quality paying peanuts.
Any thoughts.....?
