The bailout benefits all Div 2 clubs and reduces the chance of a club going bust this season.  At present, it looks like Southend in the bottom 2 plus one other club...............given our league position arguably the bailout slightly increases our risk of finishing in the bottom 2.

The new capital has to be used to strengthen the team wisely and effectively. We cannot simply survive and look at next season. The risks are too great.

I don't think the grant can be used to buy players

But

If Ollie's puts in his 100,000 and Fenty  matches it we could get 2 or 3 decent players in.

What am I saying If Fenty matches it ?????





Of course he will he loves our club right ?

Feels like society in general this bailout. The extremely wealthy 1 per cent deciding who among the poorest is the most deserving of the crumbs from the table.

As for the rainy day fund that JF has in place; I'm sure they would say that due to their financial prudence, we are not in imminent danger of going under, so it is not yet needed. Think they will also argue that we have spent our allotted budget on players, as per the new rules and any further signings will be on a one in one out basis. It remains for the fans to consider whether their strategy is the correct one. Most probably think they got it wrong again.

We are going to buy a striker who is a proven goal scored Ginny or end up with another crock or is unproven at this level.

I doubt that we will though when was the last time we paid money for a player ?

I would start with a more mobile experienced centre half
I would then move the captaincy away from the goalkeeper. I know we are very very poor at scoring we also conceding plenty at the moment. My priority would be to shore this up and make us very very difficult to beat. At the moment we are easy pickings for the better teams. If we have to play a defensive game against teams like Exeter then so be it
I think this is why we are better suited to playing away from home with the expectations on attacking are much lower. When the onus is to push forward at home this shows our inadequacies and we are picked off very easily. Utm

I get the impression that the grant money cannot be used to buy new players, certainly not expensive ones.

One of the Premier League's grant conditions is that L1 and L2 only make free transfer signings in the January window.

I think thsts a totally fair condition, this money is supposed to pay the everyday bills not line player and agent pockets through signing on fees

I think it's even more ironic that they want to limit us to free transfers - tell that to Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Everton etc etc

We may have to explain what a free transfer is to some of them...
