CanaryJames 0 Posted July 29, 2009 Didn''t realise it was this bad! If it happens it is a real shame......BUT......there''s one or two handy players there who we could do with, so IF it did happen, we''d have to make the best of a bad situation surely? Morally wrong perhaps, but if we don''t, someone else will.So Lee Barnard (prolific striker) and Frank Moussa (young midfielder) would definitely be worth a thought if it did happen, especially Barnard.In fact Barnard ticks all the boxes of what we need. A pacy goal-scorer, young, yet experienced at this level. Would be excellent with Martin/McDonald/Holt/Maric for company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BGG&YPOS 0 Posted July 29, 2009 [quote user="city till i die"]no disrespect buthave they got any deent players we could nick for peanuts??[/quote]I mentioned this in another thread that they are deciding if to give M Rigters a contract as he has been released by Blackburn, if memory is correct when we had him he played mainly on the left hand side, many posters were raving about him and to get him on our books full time, do not know if he has signed fro them yet?

Lambo 0 Posted July 29, 2009 Rigters was a striker, didn''t really do much at Barnsley last season but could be good at league 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canarygeorge 0 Posted July 29, 2009 Sad news indeed.Southend were my local team, and i started watching them in 1956 when i was 9, never missed a home game, until we moved to Norfolk in 1962. I don''t think we ever paid more than a shilling to get in to Roots Hall. Happy days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It just shows that the club has spent more than it can afford. It has been living beyond its means. They are no better than an idiot who lives the life of Riley on their credit cards and then ends up going bankrupt. Nobody forces a club to pay players more than they can afford and its about time people realised that. OK, so the quality of player they could sign would go down with the wages but thats life - they need to live with it as do we and all other teams that struggle with finances.Man City may be spending millions but it is because their owners can afford it. How they got the money is neither here nor there and they can do what they like with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

royhollis4 0 Posted July 29, 2009 Oh Dear. How sad to the read the belittling of another team who rose from the old Third Division South.Of course the Shrimpers never reached the heights of the European stage but lest ye forget the remember Errol Crossan..They too had their legends, Eddie Fimani, Harry Threadgold, Lou Costello and possibly the greatest full back pairing outsideof the First Division in Williamson and Anderson. But above all else who (that is all who purports to be a true football man)can forget or dismiss the mighty Sam McCrory and that goal that beat England..As Prittlewell man said at the time That Was The Goal Of The Century.
