Breaking News Members of the Consortium

[chadded]

So who are the consortium?

Completely unfounded, but I'm going to guess that the owner of Adventure Island is one of them, Philip Miller

I'd also hazard a guess that someone (pl?) from Insure and Go are also part of it.

Can anyone else think who might be involved?

In the echo
five of the names are...

Phone Entrepreneur, Paul Athaesen.
Danish Commodity Trader, Lars Steffenson.
Accountant, Gavin Simons.
Office Service providers, Rob Stillwell and
Mark Gordon

Danish Commodity Trader, Lars Steffenson.

Is 'Danish commodity trader' management speak for Pork Butcher?

If so I like the cut of his jib - the bacon rolls are sorely missed.

to takeover any club the football league under their rules will need to run a fit and proper test on each of the individuals so the question is would they all pass? are all their financial affairs in place and have any of them ever had problems before with tax people etc so its not all simple i have personally never heard of any of them
hand over your quid and you can sit in the directors box...

eh oh jeez how do we run a football club?

my belief is martin will pay the bill and southend will go on and be promoted to the championship this season

who are the other 5

 

[Onion_Bag_Dave]

I think it gives a few figures in the echo on page 2! but we will never know how much anyone who runs this club or any club has! But it almost seems certain that they have more dough than Uncle Ron!

The first will happen.

Second one, hmmmn. lol

 

[wynyates]

I know of some of these names, one very well. Not an SUFC fan, THFC in fact, but I'm not sure this is important.

There is a strong mobile phone link - mpc I think. Anyway, good to have more than one option available.

I honestly don't believe it takes too much to pass this test looking at the owners of some football clubs, so wouldn't see this as an issue.

 

[mattytheshrimper]

i reckon insure and go have got something to do with it. gary lockett is a huge fan and he was a director but left because apparently very unhappy with the way ron was running the club. so would make sense.

I know the guy who devised the test. It's been watered down so much that it's now a complete waste of time.

Mark Gordon

In 1995 Mr Gordon began a franchise business called MPC Mobile Phone Centre which started with a single retail unit in Enfield. The business grew over the next few years under a franchise model until there were 15 MPC outlets in the UK. The business was consistently profitable, with a turnover of £8m at its peak.

Today this same business has been reshaped to deliver 60% of its turnover from B2B mobile solutions and consumer from its own managed UK based call centre and continues as a Vodafone Premier Partner and a profitable business, now re branded as Evolve Telecom.

Why? Does the board need more creepy old men?

The amount of alcohol i've consumed in his nightclub must surely entitle me to a place on the board?
