He's only owned the club for 3 seasons, so to lose that amount of cash is impressive. I,d guess it would be quite easy to do that if the club had no other forms of creating revenue apart from gate money and his cheque book. I,d guess there are some non league suger daddies who have spent more than him.

Southend takeover completed, another charlatan owner removed, good riddance Ron Martin There are Judges who have spent less time in Court than Martin had in his role as Southend's Owner. He's no Becchetti but he's still a member of the club.

They seem to have been on the brink for the last 20 years Well if they still pay the high wages to players as they did in the mid 80,s i,m not surprised. Paid an average LB well over double we paid a striker so god knows whet they,d pay a goalscorer.

Southend takeover completed, another charlatan owner removed, good riddance Ron Martin RM has been trying to set up Southend United as his pension for many years, the whole point of that new stadium is that he'd own it and they'd pay him rent forever. The cynic in me wonders why he'd finally agree to a sale & which small print gives him the parasitical pension he's been so determined for.

They wont be making it back to the efl any time soon This must be a recent development, Bury fans used to be mostly nice old ladies who spent most of the game knitting, I don't know what the world's coming to.

The knitters went to AFC Bury, the cross stitchers to Bury, families divided, it’s a grudge that’ll take generations to sort now
