Southend under new transfer embargo

Southend under new transfer embargo.

I’m guessing if their sale hasnt gone through they must be at risk of losing the AGM cup and being kicked out of the league.

They've been allowed to treat the National League committee like mugs and, although I'd love to see them expelled from the league as a punishment, they'll just get away with it again!

It is beyond me why the national league continue to tolerate them. They continually don't pay their bills yet we're apparently meant to congratulate them for fielding one of the best teams in the division. It makes a mockery of the league.

[NBDag]

Good. They take the piss out of both the league and the legal system. Yet they think all criticisms of them are fans being bitter & obsessed. No, we just want their club to be treated the same as every other person and business and not get unlimited chances. I hope they get nailed to the wall as their takeover will not be solved in 6 weeks.

Interestingly Justin Rees has spoken to the media and it sounds like he's getting to a walking away point if the takeover doesn't complete soon!

Yes, sounds like he’s getting cheesed off,
trouble is he’s already invested
3.5 million

It's a lot of money to now walk away, we shall wait and see.

[Diggerthedog]

He won’t walk away it’s just mind games to get the current owner to pay up this bill or prompt some other kind of reaction.

[Daggerman]

Typical of a club that’s rotten and dodgy as f#k

Finally sold in completion it seems
