Title: Southend now in trouble Post by: Power to people on Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 16:19:08 Players not been paid for January, HMRC have a WUP against them - could this be a record season for clubs going into administration ? - will someone actually go bust ?

it probably needs a club to go to the wall to force through much needed change Title: Re: Southend now in trouble Post by: jonny72 on Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 16:32:09 It seems to have got to the point now where fans aren't as bothered about their clubs folding, with them almost being happy (and in some cases preferring) to start all over again with a brand new club. It's what the Chester fans want and Southampton had a plan in place to do it (with an agreement of sorts to go straight in to the BSP).
Not sure how I'd feel if it happened to us, I guess it isn't the end of world as long as there is a club that takes on the name and carries on from where the old club left of. Title: Re: Southend now in trouble Post by: Phil_S on Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 16:36:05 i'd say it's highly likely in both cases. It'll only happen if a Premiersh!t club go under (Pompey). Even then it's not that likely. it probably needs a club to go to the wall to force through much needed change Title: Re: Southend now in trouble Post by: Phil_S on Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 16:38:22 I am so glad that we managed to get rid of Diamandis & Co, cos without AF & CO that is where we would be now !
AND the same would apply if the portugeezers had got in too.

I don't think it's a case of fans "not being bothered" more a sign of desparation and lack of appealing alternatives. In the case of Chester, there pretty much are no other alternatives, it's about the only way they can start again with a clean slateTitle: Re: Southend now in trouble Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 16:50:24 i think jonnys point is pretty true.fans get so sick of what their club has become,that starting from scratch looks a better option.
