Just had an interesting chat with someone who is on Southends wage bill and someone who many people on this board know, what he said was,
Dan Harding: Southend have put their terms of £2000 week deal on table Harding wants £3500, when on loan from Ipswich they paid half of Hardings wages (he was on £5000), Southend are not sure if he is worth £3500 a week making him the top earner and other squad members would want parity.
Wage Bill: The wage cap at southend is around 100k a year for our top players, Ron sets the cap obviously.
Theo Robinson: Southend were willing to bust the bank and pay 200k for him.
Debt: Club is still 5 million in debt and all money from our big games last season and tranfers etc went towards paying that debt
Behind the scene; Surviving in league 1 is the priority this season that is what everyone inc playing staff has been told
I did ask who we might be in for after but information was not forthcoming.
Do i believe it personally, not sure, but this has come from a very very very reliable source. Not a great deal of info but from the horses mouth if you know what i mean
