SO when will the takeover go through?

[Sufc.2008]

Another season ****ed down the drain then… if we make it through!

 

[Smiffy]

What has Cllr Dent done?

Nothing. He’s been very supportive and a football fan that hopefully may understand

 

[Smiffy]

Cllr Cowan if anyone wishes to drop him a message on X

So my pal seemed spot on with CRBE wanting full planning permission before finalising anything.
Thanks ron.
This only ends one way I'm afraid.
Where will AFC southend be playing home games?

Did CRBE not agree to this in principle though? Maybe they are just waiting for the DD to not mess anything up and have to agree to something else.

It doesn’t seem ideal for them, but what do they get if we go tits up?

Full planning is probably many many months away. If the deal for the sale of the club is reliant on that, then we are finished.

I get it if you are talking about the sale of RH though.

When will this **** end! Honestly so depressing!

And how much longer before the high court says No enough is enough we’ve had so many adjournments

 

[Holy Joe]

We've only had 1.

Any previous WUP history is irrelevant to the current wup

 

[gatecrasher]

This is the moat agonising death of a football Club ever, many would of gone into administration and survived, but we had Ron who wouldn't let the golden egg go.

All the excitement and promise of the second half of the season and for the future ruined by the biggest conman ever

 

[Tommy2holes]

Is there a point when the original plan is reverted back to?

The planning for that is already in place. We could move to Fossetts and forego all this.

I'm not suggesting that will happen but it is still a remote possibility.

Ron Martin has literally brought our club to its knees. It's a joke how after all the damage he has done that he still holds all of the cards.

We are all so sick of it.

I don't think it would be the worst idea to arrange a protest at the council and start applying pressure.

Out of interest what is CRBE? Been trying to work it out.

Once the final part of DD has been completed, I'm told the two weeks of council processes that will follow relate to external audit review/ sign off.

 

[leeblue]

I have two queries any help appreciated
Anyone know if CRBE will transfer charges on RH after DD complete.
Or will they hang on for full planning permission.

Yes but that’s why the consortium are initially leasing RH until that planning approval and the then signing over of the stadium. What they (SBC and consortium) are looking for is CRBE to agree the schedule of payments to the club as and when FF is built. And how the charge on RH is removed/transferred. This is absolutely reasonable to expect even if there is some conditionality.

I would imagine they cant do much with them unless they put them against the FF land as there are no assets there yet.

The problem is we are being told 2 weeks for the second part but no clarity/commitment as to the first part (DD) where there appears little sense of urgency.

 

[AustScullyPriorPowell]

I think we now have serious concerns with the consortium falling apart and cracks at best!!
If members do leave, is that their initial investment in smoke or could they hold Ron /SUFC accountable for anything?

That Kidderminster feeling was short and sweet but seems a lifetime ago!!!

End of the day, what has Martin delivered do we expect anything different now!

 

[HertfordshireBlue]

My hatred for Ron at this point - I wouldn’t mind if the council withdrew any support for Ron’s housing completely and told him to f*** off

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Blues deal will not complete before winding up hearing

SOUTHEND United’s takeover deal is no closer to be completed, Echosport understands.

Bad news but hardly unexpected.

 

[hlane17]

It was nice thinking we may actually be a normal club for once.

Seems (or at least feels) like it's no closer than our 95% wallop moment last year.

 

[Medway Blue]

CBRE will not transfer charges until there is something of value to transfer them to, i.e. Fossetts Farm with new planning permission.

 

[Danshrimper]

I'm not exaggerating at all when I tell you, this COULD continue to go on like this well into next year.

The amount still needed to happen is huge! So many balls are in play right now and many more things could go wrong.

Yes! My my (borderline boring by now) pessimism will eventually come undone, but we are in for a repeat of last summer at this rate

Good news - This definitely won’t be going on well into next year.

Bad news - Because we will have gone bust if it doesn’t happen in the next few months.
