As someone who lives near Southend and attends a few times a season this is where they are currently at
The owner Ron Martin makes Paladini look like a Choir Boy. The staff of the club so admin, marketing etc haven't been paid for 3 months- as it stands, the Southend Supporters Trust are trying to help on this matter.
The players have often found wages being paid late and a number of players have left in the close season basically because the club can't make payments is the long and the short of it. The goalkeeper, centre back and one of the strikers have all left in the last 2 weeks or so
As they are under embargo they can't extend any contracts or sign new players
The Manager Maher has done a decent job in the circumstances they had a terrible run around March / April which had that not happened would have seen them make the Play Offs with ease
The owner is basically hoping for a stadium move as part of a housing development which will see him get some funds back, this move has basically been in the offing for 30 odd years
The current ground is a tip in all honesty but this new stadium has been scaled back massively to some 3 sided monstrosity
They have entered talk with a Venture Capital company who have contacts within Sports agency's they are the preferred bidder and are apparently in the due dilligence stage, rather than a skeleton falling out of the closet it's likely to be a cemetery!
Difficult times but I really hope they come through this as if run properly they're a decent club |  | | |

Hopefully they will find a last minute buyer & best of luck to them.
I went there a through times when they used to play games on the Friday night & crowds were quite good. I also stayed until the final whistle when we let in the five goals. That wasn't a pleasant night!
Around the time when the Thames Valley Royals (Reading & oxford United amalgamating) was under discussion, wasn't there speculation that Southend & Orient would combine as Basildon Orient? |
How many remember the time we took 2000 or more to a reserve game at Roots Hall to see the return of Rodney after being out so long with injury. I went and it was a brilliant atmosphere, we all enjoyed it. | | | |
