so not much benifit to club if ron has control of all if any profit

 

[A Century United]

Nice Uncle Ron has gone public (somewhere) saying that the club will get the income from the businesses inside the stadium, which would mean (I think) Food, Conference, and Hotel.

Coventry, by contrast, only got the ticket income, and then had to pay a small fortune in rent.

Yes but would Southend have to pay rent , i think not as Ron owns the club.And income from functions would go to who.Still its abundantly clear that Southend desperately need a new stadium.

If Jobson was here he would prob investigate having Upton Park in 2016 !!!

Ron Martin has no intention of trying to rip off Southend United, It is his dream , his desire and his passion that one day it will become a major force in English football. I salute you Ron and want to come on this journey with you.

He may not want to "rip off" Southend, but he certainly wants to make as much money from it as possible or he would never have come.

His dream and passion was not the football but to make money from the development, that is what motivated him and still does. He may have bought into the club when he came and we had our success but he isnt a football man doing it for the love of the game, its all about the money.

If he was just doing it just for us then we would still own our own ground and he wouldnt have removed it from the club....
