We only have three weeks to sort this out..

[Tommy2holes]

We now have only 3 weeks left until our first friendly match against Ipswich.

We still dont know who is staying or who is going.

There has been no statement of intent from the board or from tilly.

There have been no rumblings about getting out of this embargo or what we are going to do to boost this thread bare squad in time to be able to field a league side.

All we know is that we are supposed to sign up for seaso's and just wait and see. Sorry Ron thats not good enough. We need answers.

Just what the **** is happening with the club. Are we likely to go out of business ? Is tilly still going to remain in charge? How are we going to get a team ready for the forthcoming campaign?

How about an official statement.

I am fed up of the silence from the club, nothing, no news, only a statment the other day telling us that Barrett is on the transfer list, which I think really sums up just how much of a state this club is in tbh. Come on, the pre-season is fast approaching, and not even a whisper from the club. The silence is deafening, we need answers Ron, and fast!

 

[Blueshrimper]

Keane might aswell give himself a run out against our lot.

Back in the day we had very little or no communication with the club, I suspect most are out on some suntan availability at this moment, things should start to pick up come mid July....meantime take some time off from southend enjoy the world cup, take a break and then come back in July......UTB

 

[DTS]

Its a total farce.

It was obvious the senior players would want out but the lack of movement from us, the lack of comment from Ron, the lack of Mays wages. Were fast becoming the joke of the league.

I also thought we had read Crawford not yet signed his deal?

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Also Tilly not signed his contract that Uncle Rons offered, and no sign of an assistant manager. Meet the Blues day is gonna be fun!

I thought the club were being quite candid with the information regarding the embargo and the redundancys.

I don't know what you want the club to say that they havent already? There is no news at the moment other than the very poor state of the club and we knew that already.

ok chaps here is the stone cold truth, we will be playing a youth team next season, have heard this from a very very good source, would never reveal who etc etc, if you wanna make a few quid I would lump some on us for relegation, sorry and all that folks, we may even be stuck with the lads who do want out as no one in league one is prepared to pay them the amount we do and they certainly wont take pay cuts

It's ok though because way back in January Ron said our PFA loan was only short term and that the embargo was a temporary thing:-



And Martin also insisted that the transfer embargo would not hit Blues hard.

“The downside in loans being facilitated by the PFA is that it attracts an embargo but with just a couple of weeks before the window closes, at this present time, is not an impediment,” said Martin.



Care to change this statement Ron?

 

[Cricko]

RM is not at work at the moment but recovering from an operation...so I have been told.

Which gives me an idea for a poll..;)

He actually said that it would definitely be paid back 5 weeks after we received the loan.......... Doh.

I've got to say, with the way things are looking I wouldn't be surprised if that's true. :(

[Tommy2holes]
