Kevin Hogg
President
Isn't it amazing that our esteemed Chairman has upset so many Shrimpers? At wembley I did not hear one positive comment about - and there can be few arguments - the most successfull chairman in 107 years of Southend United.
Under Ron Martin the following:
Only second Chairman to take the club into the second tier.
The only Chairman to take us to a major Cup Final (though the LDV JPT competition has not been around long) three times.
The only Chairman to take the club to Wembley.
The only Chairman to be in charge for a Play-Off Final victory - or loss for that matter.
The Chairman for our greatest ever result (on paper) versus Man Utd.
Chairman for the largest single gathering of Southend United supporters for a single game.
Yet, he makes the most baffling decisions, has the most useless PR and is pretty much despised by a majority of Southend United supporters. Indeed, he may take the club to its final days. Let us hope not.
I do hope Mr Martin does not add "the only Chairman to take us to insolvency" title to his - to be fair - hugely impressive CV in terms of on the field success.
Reviled despite the unparalleled achievements - football is a funny game and RM is certainly controversial!
