Delia's Own Goal

[essex canary 623]

Work hard or work smart?

Covid heralds ths end of self financing. What do you do. Answer: rather than show restraint, spend £50 million more on Wages than a fellow promoted Club who stay up with ease.

Because a player asks the wrong question of the wrong person on the wrong day you lose £10 million plus of their transfer value.

Why is American ownership around the corner? Ben Gibson provides a graphic illustration.

There used to be a thread on here at the end of the year for people to choose the most annoying poster of the year. You have completely ruined this because you win hands down with your incessant whinging about everything.

I think we could up it to annoying poster of the day, it might give others a slim chance.

I'm going to be very annoyed if i'm not in the shortlist for either. I've worked very hard on being this forums resident idiot and court jester and I don't wish for anyone to take my crown

Well it would, but Essex still posts when he's on holiday so he's even f*cked that.

Oops Sorry. Just reaching out to @Big Vince. Now it looks as though the happy clappers are plagued by flies for the rest of the day. You just can't win.

You’re on the “local colour” end of the spectrum CC. Essex is off the other end.

I wouldn't say I am in the top 10% of whingers but I am definitely the top one.

Nothing to do with the fact that Delia is now 82 and not many British business men/women can afford football clubs.

The sooner you make a 500% profit on your NCFC shares and give up your free seat at Carrow Rd and never darken our door again the better.............

Hey virginia halas mccaskey is 100 years old and owns the Bears in America so if she can do it I'm sure Delia can be with us for another two decades..😉

But you have forgotten that the rest of Essex’s family is also entitled to free membership, access to away tickets and various other benefits in perpetuity.

We don't spend enough money when we go up. Delia out!

We spent too much money when we went up. Delia out!

A player kicks off at the manager. The manager can't pander to a prima donna, drop him!

A player kicks off at the manager. You can't drop him, he'll lose transfer value!

Ben Gibson was a waste of money. Delia out!

Gabriel Sarà has been brilliant. Erm, Delia out?

 

I'm starting to think Essex Canary is a parody account in the same way Big Vince is. Big Vince is pretty blatant and not hard to spot, but Essex may have been playing us all like fiddles.

Basically you spend what you earn or a little like driving your car change gear sensibly. Not rocket science is it?

Therein lays the problem. Essex doesn't have to try

[nutty nigel 7,902]

@essex canary 

Still wondering how you manage to get a concession in block M. I'd like to move back there but can't really justify £600.

Preferential treatment. Sets a precedent. Email the club.

If you are in with the in crowd you get your complimentary (otherwise £1500) padded seat bang in the centre, no problem.

I am absolutely with you that concessions should be available in Block M. I will add it to my AGM questions so as Tilly can give me some stick for asking so many questions that I ought to have the opportunity, but don't, to place through quarterly AD meetings. 

[Canario 268]

It's all in the name though eh. Can anyone honestly come up with anything decent that has ever come out of Essex?

To be fair, if he'd have made a bit of dosh on those shares, he could have saved Southend on his own.

Yes, I've thought so for some time. Funny how we don't hear from True Grit these days.....they are amongst us, ask Vince.......

Here we go round the mulberry bush...

I'm quite capable of asking why I can't get a concession in block M. But I don't need to ask because I know why. Those are the rules and I accept them.

I asked you how you got a concession in block M?

You have had a fair return on your £25K then as that works out at £31,500 in 21 years plus you still have your 1,000 shares.
