The thing that Ron has done consistently that can be proven is that he has kept us out of administration. Whilst TB was here things appeared to be a little smoother but how much of that was solely down to him nobody knows. From reports coming out and from statements on here he seemed to involve himself in playing matters and though the consensus is thats a good thing, I disagree. He should have spent his time working as a CEO and let luggy do the team stuff. If there was a question about Luggy's ability to do that then get a manager who can.Ron is a serial liar Rab. You choose to believe him its your wish. Tara said it like it is and what he said his plans were and they happened. Improving the playing budget, Bringing in players, paying people on time, and throughtout the year he was here no trouble with HMRC. Now please rab tell me Ron's truths and lies and compare the two.
I would give the impression, as manager, that I m part of the team and not that it is an 'us and them' scenario. Divisive.
That's not what you said though is it? You we're complaining that he is repetitive, not divisive!
If it is the potential division that bothers you, then you could argue that it motivated the players in the 2 wins before.
You can't have your cake and eat it. If you support PS but think he only achieved what he did because TB was so influential then a) PS was unable to achieve success as a manager alone b) TB did not dedicate his time to the role of CEO and that makes Rons account right.I support Paul Sturrock and I support the team. Tara brought about an improvement . No fan of Ron .
Whether some of you like it or not, its all gone down the pan since Tara left. Fact.
This Shrimperzone is such a sad place, full of dreamers thinking we can coast to promotion playing like Real Madrid or Barcelona.
Plenty of pillocks thinking thay can slag off the club at the drop of a hat.
I am proud of Southend United and always will be through good and bad times.
Ron Martins deserves credit for keeping the club afloat through really tough times.
Paul Sturrock has given us a team that is in the top 3 going into March.

Agree we will not win every game but the manner of the defeat was absolutely shocking. Unless whatever the problem is sorted automatic promotion is just a fantasy. The players didnt want to know at all last night, and thats unacceptableWE ARE IN 3RD PLACE, READY FOR AUTOMATIC PROMOTION.
GET REAL, WE WILL NOT WIN EVERY GAME:smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile:

December 1 win and 1 draw from 6
January 2 Wins and 1 draw from 5
February 2 Wins 1 draw from 5
The worst month, results wise, in the last three was December
Tara left at the end of December , (unless he took some time off before starting his new job)
However as he said that things had happened to upset the plan to get out of the division in the past few weeks (which as it was in the Echo interview at the end of January, I presume what was actually meant was his last few weeks ) it would appear that things had started to go down the pan before Tara left and the journey down the pan would seem to be the reason for Tara leaving rather than vice-versa
