Ron speaks- appointment expected this week.

[KiwiRob]

Ive just read a very recent interview with Dean Austin, and I wonder if there's a possibility of a Tilson/Fagan/Austin combo?

I think it should be either Fagan or Currie. Virtually everyone who has worked with Fagan have said he is outstanding and Currie has done well in his managerial appointment at Barnet,

My big fear is that the Chairman will overlook Fagan or Currie and go for a Austin/Tilson combination. Passion is not enough, and while Austin gave it everything at Northampton the results were very poor. But the Chairman reportedly has a soft spot for Austin!

That's a great article, I know he's very highly rated in the game and this article demonstrates why. I'd love to see Austin as part of the new management team.

Yes, that's really good. Got to be a strong contender.

Thats sounds like a cheap 70's British car

Let's hope the new team is more Vanden Plas Maestro than Austin Allegro.

This statement really stood out, "At Southend we had very good players, but they were also ready to go to war together”. That's what we've been missing. We need players of this ilk and the right management to bring it all together.

Quite impressed by what I have just read so quite happy if he was part of our new management/training team........

I still see the odd Allegro being driven.

When was the last time anyone saw a Maestro, Montego or Metro on the roads?

 

[GBJ]

Well, whoever it is, hopefully we’ll get an announcement tomorrow evening, ready for Wednesday’s return to training

 

[Shrimpet steve]

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

Hope not not experienced enough

Like he over looked Coughlan and Mahar .

It’s got to be, you can’t return to training without the manager in place.

You are absolutely correct but this Southend United after all

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

A day or two shouldn’t make a huge difference, as the players will be having fitness tests and doing general fitness work which the existing staff can handle if needs be. You’d want the new management team in place no later than Sunday evening this week though, so they can get cracking Monday.

Having said all that, it would be far better for all of us if this could be nailed down before then please Ron!

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

Heard a rumour that Ron is taking training Weds with Harry Redknapp on a zoom call to help out.

 

[rlb999]

Austin is an assistant if you ask me. I think given the way things are going I‘d take him as a number two with Fagan.

I'd be happy with that, someone said that Ron rates Austin too

Hold my beer

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

I’d be happy with Austin and Tilson tbf.

According to 'Howmanyleft' it looks like more Metro (304) still on the roads compared to Allegro (195), Maestro (185) & Montego (39).

Wonder how many of those Allegro still have the original square steering wheel.

To keep this a bit Southend related I went to the 2nd leg of the Anglo Italian English final v Notts County in an Austin Montego.
