Echo News Sam Hart and Simeon Akinola can still not feature for Southend United due to embargo

[Barling Magna]

True, but only if you can remember it all.

Remember what....? ?

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

Not to mention messing around the these players' careers.

That will be the last of his worries. The man has no morals. He is toxic.

You may be right. I'd like to think he does care, but is just not capable of dealing with too many things at once.

They wouldn't be here if they had better offers.

I'm not sure that really gives Ron the right to mess them around. Apart from anything else it doesn't look good when we're trying to sign players in the future.

They might be fully aware of the situation and being paid a premium for the inconvenience?

That might be the case, but I doubt it. Certainly not the "being paid a premium" bit.

Not so sure. We are not much of a draw footballing wise and we have a reputation for not paying players on time.

I dare say Akinola or Hart could have found a non league team on reasonable money yet both chose to come to Southend.

 

[RobB11]

Ron Martin, the most boring man in the world. Lie after lie after lie . Bloke is a waste of space.

Perhaps they are expecting long injuries. ?

So they'll accept a premium even though we don't pay on time? Not sure of that one.

Greater risk demands greater reward.

I understand what you mean, and in normal circumstances you might be right. But SUFC are anything buy normal. We pay **** as it is. I can't see RM agreeing to pay extra to cover his own incompetence.

 

[Joolz]

It is at times like this that we actually require a statement from RM on the matter, rather than the patronising drivel about how 'he is a better supporter than the rest of us' we normally get.

That's not true tho is it? Ron's player salaries last season was one of the highest in the league!

Genuine question. How do you know that?

 

[East Devon Shrimper]

Remember what....? ?

Ha ha, as a person of ‘advancing years’ I have been preparing for some while with ‘selective memory and hearing’ I seem to be getting away with it so far (unless the missus see’s this post) ?

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

Why sign them? It's stupid to sign them, pay them, but not be able to play them. If we can't afford to lift the embargo, don't sign them and admit we're broke. That's what gets me

 

[Shrimpet steve]

He said so and it was public knowledge.There was a league 1 salaries table.

I don’t remember ever seeing a table, do you have a link? (Just in case Ron was mis-quoted!)
