Should Bond be given the job next season?

[Ricey]

I voted 'No' but i'm starting to sway towards 'yes'. He will have good contacts having been in the game for so long and with 'Arry's assistance I'm sure he will pull a few strings.

Looking who else is out there it's either the usual rubbish on the managerial recycling dump or untested ex players. Unfortunately every ex player isn't going to turn out to be as good as Steve Tilson.

 

[MK Shrimper]

I hear Phil Brown's bestie Jeremy Kyle is looking for work?

And Paul Brush. Tilson wasn't the same after Brush left!

[Evening Echo]

SOUTHEND United are set to decide their new manager and the futures of their out of contract players tomorrow.

More...

 

[RobM]

I reckon Bond will get the job.

 

[blueveined]

I reckon Bond will get the job.

It certainly sounded like that listening to Ron's interview on BBC Essex just now.

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

I’ve just burst out in fairy lights.

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

I reckon they’re going keep Turner you know.
I’ll do a mad queen Danni if we don’t keep JW!

 

[jarvisyeh]

The headline "new manager" made me think we were bringing someone else in, but everything written in that article suggests Bond is staying on and has been deciding who is retained.

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

The clue is in the picture. Ron will reveal himself as the new manager surrounded by scantily clad woman while throwing wads of cash in the air.

Kev absolutely deserves the chance after delivering what most of us was impossible last season. I have nothing but gratitude towards him but I’m not sure if he is the man to take us forward. Kevin Bond the firefighter, the coach who came in to coach a team for a few weeks and try to do something many said couldn’t be done is a complete different job to Kevin Bond the full time manager who has to sign player, keep/let go players etc. As I said, he absolutely deserves the this opportunity but me personally, I’d have rather us gone down the “young, up and coming manager” route.

I will of course absolutely give him and the team my support, please don’t think otherwise.

Oh yea you wasn’t keen at all when he came in to save us, I remember telling you to give the guy a chance

I wasn't. I thought that it was a very underwhelming appointment, a cheap one but he proved me wrong.. very wrong. For that I am prepared to give him my backing, he deserves that much but it's still a direction I wouldn't have gone with if it were me making the decisions.. some might say it's good that I'm not!

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

I think he's worth a contract, if it dos'nt work out then he will be gone within a year.
No different from anyone else who Ron may decide on?.

 

[Blueronron]

Cannot see anything less than a two year deal for him which he deserves

 

[Reynardine]

Ron's BBC Essex interview today, about the managerial situation and other matters, is well worth a listen - starts just after 7 minutes here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p077288n

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

After listening to RM interview it seems he likes KB I guess it's down to what the contract will be
