  • Needless to say, I had the last laugh.

    Thanks for banging on about it. We're all eternally grateful for your insight

  • I like how they have voted Chris Powell as their first choice.   Not many clubs can say they have had two black managers in a row.

Ryan Giggs, be a great start for him in Div 3.

Was trying to look at it from a purely footballing point of view, especially as I have a bit of a vested interest.

 

Would think to think he's grown up a bit since "watch this space", and I don't recall him getting a bad reception at SJM's testimonial.

 

It's a no from me.

 

Mourinho or they can all get to fuck. #JeSuisAnewman

I'd not go if Stubbs was employed. Watch this space.

nice bit of PR from the new owners.

we're going down anyway, so they generate a bit of goodwill in getting rid of a terrible manager

Lennon, like the 2 Managers before him, spoke a good game early on

 

It gave us belief in him and the team

 

He had a raw deal of it at times, but ultimately his decision making was inexplicable for me, his tactics woeful, and the players he brought in didn't really add value and wasted what little budget he had

 

The wrong guy a the wrong time

 

It all feels so familiar though :(

Hallefookinlujah!

 

I'm partying toneet!

Lennon Party?

Shame, 

 

Really thought he was going to be the man to take us forward

 

aye, me too, well, I did, in 2014

Naïve decision, he was just about to turn the corner...

 

Does this mean sectarianism will dwindle again now?

That's what i meant

That's what i meant

 

it's what I meant too

Who are Southend's bestest players then..

Some early betting on the manager to start for us next season. Amongst others:

 

Browny 4/1

Stubbsy 6/1

Jiminho 10/1

McLaren - 14/1

Nolan 16/1

Gary Neville 25/1

Making our last three managers an Englishman, Irishman, and Scotsman?

Well it has all been a bit of a joke...

few more listed now bet bet victor.

 

sunbed and jimmy favs

Don't think sunbed would be a good idea - but don't know who I would want, just who I wouldn't want.

A 'league 1' team looking for a manager is a whole different thing than a newly relegated premiership club looking for a manager.

Long time ago but I'm sure he got booed a lot

Some grim names on the list of runners.

 

Wouldnt mind a look at Chris Wilder though.

It'll be Phil Brown.

 

He's always wanted the job and he's mates with Holdsworth.

 

Can't see anyone else being considered this time tbh.

Chris Wilder and Mark Warburton would be decent. Frig all chance of getting either though. I honestly can't seeing us paying compo to any team for their manager, so I think whoever we get will currently be unemployed.

 

If Tim Sherwood is as good with youth development as he's meant to be, he could be worth a look? We need a clear out in summer so we'll probably have to bring quite a few of the kids into the first team next season.

 

Have a feeling the odds on Rosler and Powell are gonna shorten in the next few days.

 

Edit: Just remembered Clough is at Burton so will probably be championship next season.

if jimmy does any kind of job before now and the end of the season, its his

Who are Southend's bestest players then..

Southend have a great young keeper who I think is out of contract in the summer (Daniel Bentley) they also have a couple of highly rated midfielders, Jack Payne(attacking mid) but he's just 5"5 and a tricky winger called Will Atkinson, they also have a defensive mid called Ryan Leonard, who is also highly rated.

The hum from the sunbeds firing up in Htown can be heard as far away as Westhoughton.

Ryan Giggs, be a great start for him in Div 3.

. Been told he is waiting for Everton job

I know Lennon has been screwed over with the financial fuck ups at the club, but he should have been able to get more out of the players he's had.

 

Glad to see the back of him, fresh start and all that and doing it now when we're pretty much guaranteed to be relegated means the new man will have a chance to see the players in action before the break and decide who's worth keeping.
