Ron speaks- appointment expected this week.

[yogi bear up the cagire]

When the evidence is under you nose, why look elsewhere? Everything Ron has said leads me to believe Fagan will be our next manager.

 

[Andy_S]

If it’s Tilson then it’ll be bloody ridiculous.

 

[MisterStubbs]

guys its Tilly...im delighted... he will get us off to a flyer! i know it!

I hope it isn’t. Club needs to go forwards, not back to the past.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Whilst it always seemed likely, is this the first time we've had confirmation of match streaming so long as fans can't attend the match?

I don't think every club in Lge 2 uses ifollow so I suppose there is the chance that some of the away games might not be shown.

 

[Chrisb]

I doubt it’s McGreal. It will be a complete shock if it’s anyone outside of the named 3.

Hope you're right !

 

[Ricey]

If it’s Tilson then it’ll be bloody ridiculous.

I would agree depending on who he appoints assistant.

 

[kentblues]

I would agree depending on who he appoints assistant.

This is the point- who would he be working with? Although AB has never specifically said he would not be coming, just how happy he is at Millwall we have been assured he is not coming. So who would be in a management team with Tilson? If say it were Maher and Fagan as his assistants would that be a good team? Would they care about Southend? Live and breath the club?
To me this is critical and my assumption is he is still in the mix as part of a package Ron is very tempted by.
Not knowing the answer I don’t know if it’s s good idea or not- at least not long to wait it seems..

Why would you wait to announce if the chosen man is already at the club....points to Currie.Bolton have already signed players and had their first friendly so good to hear that the players will return with the new man in charge.Wish Ron had taken the same view of the man needed before his head was turned by Sol.
Our future still hinges on FF and that September deadline so it will be interesting to hear ST prices and dates.Will we be gambling on buying one before that date ? and as Ron states the unknown twists and turns of the virus restrictions

Timing might have something to do with other members of the management team. Don’t know- Ron going on about passion for Southend etc etc- my question would be why would Currie have that- never played for us, supported us- it would be a newly acquired love.. but we can read things too literally. Would be very happy with Currie, Fagan or Tilly (Tilly with/within the right management team)

Also, he as good as announced Larsson last time and that fell through last hurdle, he'll not be taking the risk this time, that and he might be on holiday.....

Hes slightly revised his stance on that one, more someone who is 100 percent commited to football. Probably due to sols half arsed attitude.

If its Tilson, it will show just how low we have sunk!

It'll be disappointing if not all the L2 do not have ifollow active. This would be a much needed revenue stream for them

Currently Salford ,Forest Green and Orient dont use IFollow in League 2

 

[overseas shrimper]

Currently Salford ,Forest Green and Orient dont use IFollow in League 2

Is that not their choice?

 

[General]

Same old re the stadium but hopefully the players will be back and a new manager appointed this week

I think the latest news from the government should help speed up the house building process which is fundamental to this whole thing coming off for uncle Ron!

I won’t be disappointed with Fagan. But I would feel a bit meh if we announced that. Only because we could have done that 4 weeks ago and already had some kind of building blocks in place and had the guys back training

Completely agree with this, if we do go with him it seems like a real waste of time messing around with other candidates. I get that we would have needed to see if anyone was better suited, but if Ron thinks he's good enough now then surely he shared the same view last month.

 

[Chrisb]

Also, he as good as announced Larsson last time and that fell through last hurdle, he'll not be taking the risk this time, that and he might be on holiday.....

Perhaps Ron is still finishing off his usual due diligence.

Lower than appointing Bond?
