Echo News Southend United have now had more than 60 applicants to be manager and Ron Martin says next boss will be free to make signings

We might be able to make signings but isn't the issue that we can't register them?

only if we can't register them before the start of the season, if we pay them debt before then which appears to be the plan then the EFL can lift the embargo.

I really hope this time that Ron isn't just spinning us along, hopefully he's shown the HMRC evidence to convince them that the funds will be available before September
 
Who cares how many applicants we’ve had? We only need one manager. surely we approach people we might be interested in, rather than waiting for them to email in their CV?
 
Wanted. Manager to run a team of around 8 professional footballers. You will not be able to sign anyone that is attached and will have to enjoy working with the youth team.

You will be working alongside a chairman who acts as ceo, and club financier.

There is a high likelyhood of you and the players not being paid.

You must be young and hungry and be passionate about the club.

Queue 60 applicants. You would have to think that the quality of applicants will be the lowest for some time.

Don't forget to mention the poison from the stands who will turn on you in a millisecond!
 
Sorry Ron nobody believes a word you say anymore......For just once read a list of your hollow promises to managers and players......Come back when you can tell the truth and our club is not a laughing stock
 
With this adjournment does this mean that Ron has shown the taxman that he will pay up in sept and everything will be hunky dory................or am i being over optomistic?
 
Boasting about 60 applicants is pointless. A large proportion of advertised jobs get hundreds of applicants. More false promises which keep the gullible Southend faithful at bay.
Whats the false promise here?

No statement from Ron fans are saying there’s too much silence we need to be kept updated.

Ron comes out and speaks, fans say sorry Ron I don’t believe you.

I know people have their opinions of Ron and we’re in a very precarious position however sometimes he really can’t win

You don't speak for me.

He's kept us going since the 90s. He will get us through this. His record is pretty good in situations like this.

Sometimes you should say nothing.
