He'd sell the club before it went under.
If he sells the club he is finished.

Why would he have built up all that debt paying off the taxman if he wanted us to go under?
If that was his intention then that was the time for us to fold.
He has sorted everything else out by borrowing from Sainsbury.
Unfortunately they will bail out the second they can, which will be when 3 sides have been built, which makes you wonder how we will ever finance building the main stand.
Have Oxford United or Huddersfield Town been a laughing stock?????It will exist but it will have no means to move on.
We wont be able to afford to build the main stand which was meant to be a money spinner.
How will our crowds be affected by a stadium which will be the laughing stock of the country?
I do hope someone with money would come in, but what would be their incentive? Ron came in to make money from the development, a buyer in that situation would simply come in to have to spend millions just to get us on our feet.
Love the optimism though!

Given that it may be difficult to get a straight answer from the chairman regarding this matter, I have sent the following e-mail to the case officer for the planning application:
If I lived in Southend then I'd fire something similar at my local councillor - those of you who do may want to do this as they are your representative on the Council!
Thank you for your email. I can confirm that negotiations are still ongoing with the applications with regards to the S106 Agreement, however these are close to conclusion and I expect completion of the agreement to be imminent.
Kind Regards

Well folks, I didn't expect such a prompt response, but got one this morning - and it seems to be better news than most of us were expecting!
Have Oxford United or Huddersfield Town been a laughing stock?????
Well thats some positive news at least.
Now Ron just needs to find the £800k to pay the Council, tie up the deal for prospects, pizza man and the flats....oh and the £15m to get the 3 sides built...
All that has been shifted to Sainsbury to deal with though hasnt it? Thats the easy part...
Yes. I can remember an away game at Huddersfield years ago when we taunted them with chants "We've got four stands, we've got four stands, you've not, you've not" and "Three stands, you've only got three stands...". Much happier days when we felt good about our status in a higher division.Have Oxford United or Huddersfield Town been a laughing stock?????
I see Brentford have got the go ahead for their new stadium. Got me thinking about how many clubs have got permission and have actually built their stadiums in the time between us getting the go ahead and now. I can count around 10 outside the premiership, plus a few more who have got permission that I wouldn't mind betting will be built and in use before any diggers show up at FF.
I've always tried to keep the rose tinted specs on where FF is concerned but recently my gut feeling is its just not going to happen. Just wish Ron would come clean.
