Is this Roland's/Katrien's revenge for all the protests.Get our hopes up with an English manager and a few decent signings...and then sell everyone else for peanuts and replace them with freebies and ultra cheap options?
Really??? Yes we are mid fire sale but Wimbledon, Shrewsbury, Oldham can only dream of players like solly, Holmes, Novak etc. Yes it's disappointing but players will come in. Promotion, no! Relegation, no. Upper mid table, yes

Upper mid table. Of league one. What every football fan should dream of, what every footballer should aspire to. Balls to that. Top six budget, top six finish, minimum.
I think people are overreacting slightly here. Disappointing yes but it has been on the cards for a while. Tbf people were also overreacting at the times when Elliot, Hamer and Button left and we've done a good enough job at replacing the. Something has to have been lined up as this was known about, so I'm not that concerned yet. There are a lot of decent keepers about at the moment.

The offer was accepted on Friday , so probably haven't lined anyone up yet... KM is reactive rather than proactive remember!
Pope was poor most of last year. Had 2 or three good performances near the end but 1 million is good return. Now if we sell Henderson and leave us short, then that would be crazy

Now the beer is wearing off I will expand....But katrien and Roland control this supposed top 6 budget, we have some top 6 players but not a top 6 squad and I don't think we will come September, hence my comment. We will finish around the 8 or 9 position but no way will be relegation candidates

More like 6 or 7. 1m is a current reflection on ability but katrien miere doesn't seem to consider potential in negotiations. He has potential and keeps a lot of clean sheets with the league positions of the teams we have loaned him to significantly improving with him in the team. Like katrien, I'm no CEO! I havent negotiated a transfer before but surely potential is factored into the fee? Or am I wrong
Agreed, don't think he has an interest playing for this regime. The interview showed he cared for the club. I don't blame any of them from walking away

Yes, really. We're in the middle of a fire sale and there'll be others gone by the end of the window. Tex, Bauer, Lookman, Watt will all go, I reckon and replaced with ??? We'll have a small squad and when injuries bite and with no emergency loans, it all points to one thing ... Disaster. I'm usually a glass half full person but as @oohaahmortimer would say Promotion 0% Mid table 50% Relegation 50%
I want to be optimistic and say we have a keeper lined up......we all know that this isn't the case
Sam Walker from Colchester is what I've heard, But how true that is I don't know.
A club like Charlton can't stop a young player like Pope moving to the prem sorry it's not going to happen but what we can do is get a decent fee and it looks like we have again with a sell on clause
Of course you can. You just reject the offer and tell him to get on with it.
Like.
There's a button for that Elfs.
I know but I do not want to add to his total!
I was going to locate you at Bury and buy you a pint at Bury as well.
Mine's a large dry white wine! Will be at Bury with Elfs
Wow... Southend United have signed Simon Cox (Out of Contract) from Reading.
Thats a really good signing for them, someone who hasn't scored lots of goals yet last time he was in League One he scored 46 goals over around 80-games

Would have loved him at the Valley!!
Southend have a proper CEO.
Southend have more ambition! Seriously starting to think that lessons haven't been learnt with this lot, balancing the book is the only ambition they have.

That has always been and still is their only strategy.

I think the club have not liked him speaking from the heart in what was an interview where he did not savage the club, but purely showed he cared.
