***Southend United Managerial Recruitment ****

[fbm]

I don't see why Ron wouldn't agree to it. Sometimes it takes someone from the outside looking in to lend some perspective and Ron has made it plain in his recent comments that he acknowledges that he's taken his eye off the ball and things need to change.

The good thing about Stan's involvement is he doesn't care what Ron thinks of him, he's not sugar coating anything and he's come into Ron and told him how it is. I suspect Ron hasn't always had that forthright perspective coming in from the outside from someone so high profile in the game.

I still don't believe that Ron wants anything other than the best for this club. It just so happens that he has really made some terrible mistakes and decisions over the years. Someone needed to wrestle the football side of the business away from him.

Yep... I just want Stan to not care what some fans think of him. He is such a breath of fresh air at the moment that the hope is going to kill us if he retreats again.

I have also felt that Ron has been passionate about our club always. Mistakes he’s made a few.
I’ve seen this scenario before where an owner or director that has no knowledge makes the wrong choices.
I’ve been involved in focus groups just giving the director options as we were the product experts but ultimately the director made the choices.
And also finally been there when the director started to listen to those options. It took our group about 1 and a half years to get the director to take our advice.
I suspect it’s been a lot longer for Stan behind the scenes to get Ron to properly start to implement his advice but we are moving into one of the most exciting eras for our club ladies and gentlemen and all because Stan never dropped the hammer he just carried on with passion until Ron started to listen!

Well that update got me going! You sure you’re not on the shortlist Stan?! ? UTB

I don’t want Stan on the shortlist. Managers come and go. If Stan’s ideas and positivity come to fruition then he could have far greater impact than any manager could have on our fortunes.

Great uplifting report Stan. Sounded quite Churchillian (think it’s spelt right). Thanks Stan. COYB !?

Stan doesn’t want it- he’s ‘merely’ facilitating & ushering in a new manager & new dawn for this great football club of ours.

Hopefully now Ron has seen Stan in action he will realise he isn’t being shafted & that everyone concerned has Southend’s short & long term future at heart.

The wink suggested my comment was tongue in cheek, he’s already said he’s not up for management.

Just the positivity and validity of Stan’s contribution and updates are the style of influence we need throughout the club, that is all.

That last quote gives me a lump in the throat ??

I wonder if Demi also does a good job as caretaker manager ,he would be looked at as a candidate for first team trainer..But on the subject of SVC ,he really has begun to unite all the supporters ,ive never read so many positive threads in one single post. Long may it continue .Thanks Stan, you are a true Legend of my club and a warrior.

 

[shrimperjon]

Stan was a legend on the pitch and now when we need it the most he is proving one off the pitch. Thanks for giving the fans some belief again. Ron must get Stan involved in the club beyond this process

 

[overseas shrimper]

Words are lovely but action what counts..... lets see what happens.

Does it not seem that things ARE happening?

I know what you mean (for the medium to long term), but there are more than mere words being posted on a fans forum already.

Thanks for the update @StanleyVictorCollymore - very insightful.

It looks like the bookies have stopped taking bets on who our next manager will be. Can we deduce from that that stage 2 of the recruitment process has moved along quite quickly and the announcement of our new manager could be imminent, or are they premature in closing the book?

I can’t imagine they have much of an idea who @StanleyVictorCollymore has bought to the table. Look at the rumour of Brian Barry-Murphy if that’s true. Very much outside the box and not a name anyone mentioned here.
Bookies will be going for usual names (aka Ron’s list). Currie, Barrett, Harris etc

Where has the rumour of Brian Barry Murphy come from? I can't see anything on previous threads?

 

[nick12]

Is this the same Southend United?

Whenever Stan involved I feel a connection with my club again that has been missing for so many years.

Keep up the good work and thank you for the updates ?

 

[rhrussell]

I hope when we get the new stadium, that we name one of the stands after Stan, just remember Stans input Mr Martin

Some trash Twitter account that I don’t think has ever been right. But a stopped clock is right twice a day!!

tbf, BBM would fit a lot of the criteria. Young manager but some league experience, plays attacking game, Southend connection and current manager of Man City development squad.

as I say, probably trash rumour but could be the sort of left field name we probably need to be expecting.

The same Twitter account that kicked off about Demi being appointed and couldn’t understand why we hadn’t let Dave Huzzey do it.

I’ll be linked with the manager job next just got to find fm lol ?

 

[Boreham Blue]

Just think how big for us this October could be. Planning permission approved (subject to SoS), new manager in place, Stan on board to help steer this new approach.
