But he is an ex player and CP said it is unlikely to be an ex player

Chris corrected himself and said ex-SUFC player.

I'm going for Timms then.

 

[Blue Yonder]

It can’t be timms can it if they’ve managed 2 league clubs ? Got to be GC ?

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

It would be good to have Coughlan back - a nice chap & a good boost for the club. Would love to see him standing on the side at Roots Hall barking at the players again.

Yes, you are right, just seen the 'managed 2 league clubs' comment - has to be GC which would be great news, Always seemed to get on well with PB last time round.

Chris said unlikely to be an ex SUFC player so I would imagine that also rules out Coughlan. I’m sure he wouldn’t come back with us in non league anyway.

 

[Special Blue]

Has Tilly not managed 2 league clubs?
Or has this been ruled out!

Again GC is a ex SUFC player isnt he, so CP’s tweet would rule him out

See Cps tweets he corrected himself subsequently and said it was an ex Southend Player

First tweet was...

Then tweeted...

So what he meant (or what I read it as) is that it won't be a former Southend United player, instead of it won't be a former player.

John Sitton I've heard.

 

[Colchester and proud!]

Could be our old manager Joe Dunne, he is a former player and has managed two EFL clubs although he was also a caretaker manager at Bristol Rovers, he lives in Essex still too. Joe also played for us when Craig Fagan initially joined us from Birmingham on loan.

 

[Barry.C]

John Sitton I've heard.

"You, you little c..t, when I tell you to do something, and you, you fuc.ing big c..t, when I tell you to do something, do it. And if you come back at me, we'll have a fuking right sort-out in here. All right? And you can pair up if you like, and you can fuking pick someone else to help you, and you can bring your ****ing dinner. 'Cos by the time I've finished with you, you'll ****ing need it."[7]

I would take that.

Ah right ok

if GC then fine, but thought he wanted to be closer to his family and that’s why he left Bristol Rovers for Mansfield

 

[Colchester and proud!]

I would take that.

A thoroughly decent honest man who would give you everything, your players would really enjoy working with him, but don’t fall out with him!

GC is a former Southend player so I presume it’s not him.

 

[Shepshead]

Moley, are there any more signings likely over the weekend?

We’ve had four in a week already, the issue is not about how many, it’s about their quality at this level. We seem to be content to pick up players that have been released or out of contract (that may be the same thing).
In recent seasons Clubs that won promotion have tended to spend the cash on players. Forest Green and Salford spring to mind. In the current season Stockport, Chesterfield and Notts County have all spent to try and win promotion. My point is that with parachute payments, whilst there available, we need to invest in players , strikers of quality, not necessarily a player that’s cheap and sits behind 10 other players in goals chart.0

I agree with you but two quick qualifiers. First, it is possible to invest in the team and not succeed at all. Second, Morecambe is an example of a team shrewdly managed that operated with the smallest budget in the EFL and succeeded in winning promotion to Division 1.

Having said that, I would love Southend to push the boat out a bit, in budget terms, to get a 25 year old striker like Danilo Orsi-Dadomo, the 6'2"striker Maidenhead striker who scored 19 goals in his first full season in NL and is coming to the end of his contract in late June.

The boat would have to be pushed into the EFL.

Ron and the New CEO are listening to fans, as we don't want to pay the taxman late. The the budget will be quite tight, it means a lack those perfect 27 year old signings that some are demanding.....Or up and coming 20 a season young and hungry types.
