Folks, I've kept myself deliberately quiet this past week or so and been quite content to let everyone else post their thoughts and opinions about everything that's been going on around the club of late. That's not because I don't have opinions myself, far from it, I just didn't see the point of airing them.....until now.
I could drone on and on about the where with all's about what I believe has brought us to this point. I could probably counter some of the more negative posts with some quite eloquent and concise replies. That's not to say that I see things as all rosy in the SUFC garden, far from it, but I still remain confident and optimistic that RM and those working for him behind the scenes will see these troubles out and we'll all be singing the clubs praises in a few weeks time.
Why do I think this you may ask. Well, for many reasons if truth be told but one really above all else that this old and haggled brain keeps on coming back to. I cannot for the life of me envisage the £35m+ stadium plans that Ron Marting has put together for Southend United's new home being put into jeopardy for the sake of a £660.000 tax bill. Does anyone really think that Sainbury's would put at risk the prospect of their new flagship store, to be the third largest in the country, not getting off the ground for the sake of what would be a dip into their piggy bank knowing that to not do so in some way would surely sink all their carefully laid out plans. Sainbury's NEED and must compete with Tesco's in the area and Roots Hall is the only place they will ever get to do just that, and they know it.
To my way of thinking, and I know diddly squat about how big business works, there is far far to much at stake financially for both RM/MD and Sainbury's to let it all fail due to what is, taken in the great scheme of things, a drop in the financial ocean. Considering what has already been spent, what is planned to be spent and most importantly of all, what potential profits can be made by all parties long term and I really cannot see how Southend United will be allowed to fail.
Anyway, that's just my two penneth worth. Some may agree and maybe some won't, and I dare say some will denounce me as dillusional and in need of being sectioned, and they may be right, but I refuse to let the troubles we now find ourselves in obscure what little bit of common sense I have left.
