There have been numerous attempts from others to buy the club but it does seem impossible under the terms and debt pile The Rat offers them.
IMO it is just unrealistic as it stands and you cannot blame those that have tried.

And, as someone said yesterday, we ARE up in Basildon Magistrates Court tomorrow. This may not be the right thread so apologies if not.

In for a penny.....
Ron,
I don’t normally do emails but due to the fact you have surrounded yourself with security is telling, and maybe show’s you have a genuine reason to be worried which you should do of course.
I will say this will be a taste of what will be needed for you and your family going forward if you let a club that means so much to the fans (you clearly are not one with the old “I fkng love the club) cobblers because the only thing you love is paper with the queen’s head and power.
You truly think us fans are silly, but do you think we don’t know you paid for a helicopter for your son’s wedding whilst happily allowing those who work their backsides off for you on minimum wage to go without their wages for months?
Are you so misguided and naiver that you truly believe we don’t know you have not only wracked up millions of pounds worth of debt under the clubs (not your) name which is why potential buyers are quite rightly put off buying the club for this so-called pound (if it wasn’t so serious I would be laughing)?.
Are you so delusional that you actually believe the fans will roll over if you are stupid enough to kill our club on the 4th and let you earn a penny out of this without pushing against any company dealing with you?.
Are you so away with the fairy’s in believing that Tom and Ben’s businesses won’t be targeted forever as will those who are mad enough to do business with a family who murdered a legacy of 100 plus years, that brough so much joy, togetherness, and community spirit to the good people of Southend which in this day and age is much needed?
Ron, think very seriously about what you will be leaving for you and your family because trust me there are thousand of us who will feel like a very close friend of family has been murdered if we go to the wall on the 4th and it is really all due to your greed.
What’s the difference between £10M AND £100M in the bank Ron I mean can you and your family even spend £100M or is it just for the power of having that sort of money in the bank which will be blood money (if you ever get to see it after years of push back/hate/fear of backlash for dealing with the Martin family)?.
Think very very carefully about your next move Ron, Scunthorpe, Oldham and York were sold in a matter of weeks but due to your webs of debt this one has clearly been a tough one for any serious buyers and don’t think for one minute you are going to get away with spinning that rubbish you came out with on Talk Sport about people not wanting to taking on the cost of running a football club because that is a nonsense. What they don’t want to do Ron is pay off all the debt you ran up against the club over the years.
One thing about the working-class people like you will never get Ron is that we have been lied to by the likes of you so much over the years that its’ easy to smell a rat (no pun intended) so stop peddling that £1 lie, get to the table properly and get a deal done.
If you do this, then you may be known as a tough negotiator who was a bit rough at the end of a 25-year reign but if the club survives and flourishes under NEW ownership then there will come a time in the not to distant future where people will forget.
If then worst does happen then you will be remembered like Ian Huntly is in Soham, the murdering nurse is in Cheshire, Peter Sutcliffe is in Yorkshire and Jimmy Savile is at the BBC.
We are in this position because of YOU, and your mismanagement of our club due to being so fixed on a pod of gold at the expense of everyone around you.
Do the right thing Ron, there is time…..

Probably the fact it's been mentioned on here and Twitter a lot since Saturday.

It's not really about finding the highest profile person because at the end of the day, that would be a singular thing, an article, a tweet, radio appearance, whatever. If it were to have any effect and make Ron feel any shame [if that's even possible] for what his done to the club your going to need volume among other things.

For what reason?
I presume you mean Tom and Jack?

Maybe they are Employment Tribunal cases, former employees suing the club for various reasons.

‘The truth will out’. What on earth is he referring to? There is no possible ‘truth’ that could come out and vindicate him from what he’s done. Deluded ****.

No doubt 'his truth' which will be everything he's ever done has had the end goal of benefiting SUFC, he's never put a foot wrong, everyone is so harsh and mean to him etc.
Cry me a river. The rat came crawling out his nest yesterday once all the horrible 'bullies' had gone home, probably thought in his own mind he had done nothing to deserve an angry protest on his doorstep.

Shouldn’t need to chip in, the zone raised funds for protests.
It wasn't just The Zone that raised funds it was the whole fan base and those funds are being directed towards events over the next couple of weeks. We don't have control over that, it is down to The Protest group which is then agreed or not by the combined Supporters groups.

Ok, the collective supporters groups have already raised funds for protests. We do not need yet another “whip” around.
So far we have seen those funds used for a silent protest. So the idea of dumping horse crap on his drive is already 19 x better than efforts so far. Including standing outside his house for hours on end.
I agree we do not need another rally for monies. Things are under way.

I think a Bobsleigh on his drive full of ****e is more appropriate. He was by all accounts, useless at that too!!
