Breaking News Southend United staff now PAID!! (25th July)

[OldBlueLady]

What money was paid last week?

The court order was to allow money to be paid. It doesn’t necessarily mean there was money in the accounts yet to pay it.

Hmmmm....like @Cricko says, transfer was incoming from overseas. I was under the impression this was done Friday so why haven't the wages been paid?

And don’t forget the gardener’s wages for pruning the roses & cutting the grass

You think he would pay the Gardener?

 

[Tinks]

Dreadful, absolutely dreadful way to treat people especially people that are being loyal

I firmly believe you reap what you sow in life and hopefully at some point his life something will come back at him.

STAFF at Southend United are now fully up to date with their wages, Echosport understands.

Office workers at Roots Hall had gone three months without picking up their salaries.
But it has now been confirmed payments have been made this afternoon.

Should never of got to this point but I’m so chuffed for all the staff.

Sadly i bet no one has any confidence they will be paid this months salary on time

Well, thank goodness for that. I really feel for every single one of them, as it must have been completely horrible for them all. Ron doesnt deserve their loyalty, but they have all been fantastic!

Assuming we can actually start the season, can we show our appreciation for them all somehow on the 5th August?

Well that's good, amongst all this doom and gloom, I really don't think all this would be happening if it was about to fold, have patience people

At last! Wonder if this includes the July wages due soon. I'd be pleasantly shocked if that were the case.

I'd be even more shocked if they got any kind of loyalty bonus, which they so deserve.

So he was sitting on this money all that time? And was choosing to not pay them so that the next owner had to?

Yes, be really interesting to see if July paid. If the NL requirements are to clear football related debts by a certain date, assuming that date is before 31 July, then that meets their requirements and their is no consequence (from a NL licence perspective) to remain current.

Horrible way to do business.

I think(if the first game goes ahead) the staff should all congregate in the centre circle to be given a hearty round of applause as a show of our gratitude for their undoubted loyalty!!

Now to pay HMRC this week to get the embargo lifted before Monday when we go into arrears again?

Best keep the hardship fund going.

I can only imagine how gutted Ron must feel right now. Doubt he'll be able to look anyone in the eye in the morning.
Forcing him to pay money out like this. They'll pay in the end, damned staff, who do they think they are....

 

[Tampa Blue]

They are all amazing to have stuck it out this long - huge respect for them all

Very likely imho
