Interestingly enough, I wanted to quiz either or both of Geoff and Ron about this at the sponsors' evening last night. Imagine my surprise - nay, disappointment - when neither of them showed.
I actually quizzed Tilly about this towards the end of the evening. Impressively, Tilly was pretty defensive on behalf of his bosses (OK, perhaps I was being a bit too inquisitorial for my own good), saying that they were on holiday and were entitled to time off before the start of a long season.
A manager sticking up for the chairman?! Blimey - the times they have a-changed at Roots Hall. There hasn't been such unity of purpose - from the boardroom to the bootroom - in the entire time (14 years) that I've been a fan of Southend United.
And that, more than anything, is a reason for great optimism. I still hope to hear from one of Ron or Geoff about the plans... a wee e-mail to Geoff may well be winging its way to the club in the next few days.
Here's to what promises to be our best season in a very, very long time.
COME ON SOUTHEND!!!
