A Non E Mouse Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 If your not already aware there is a thread circulating stating that Jeff has had enough and is going to pack it all in at the end of the season and work more closely with Southend. Here is the link - it's also been mentioned on the Billericay forum...... Crisis At Canvey Wouldn't normally take any notice of this - but I also heard this rumour this morning from a different source. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/alert.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying-up Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Agree with you, some people have nothing better to do with their time than make up stupid rumours like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exile Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 April 1st comes round quicker every year. Tilson and Brush have two year contracts at Southend and King is going to invest his cash just to get a seat on the board ? Somehow I doubt it. However I can imagine he is frustrated with the lack of numbers supporting the team. The club has made amazing progress under his leadership, and there will come a day when he packs it in. If we were at the stage where the plans for a new ground had been thrown out then the story would have a bit more credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 If the club were that worried about the number of fans attending then surely they would try to rectify that problem before any action is taken. There has been no improvement in advertising and community projects which are the kind of things that clubs have to do to grow a fan base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtfulShrimper Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Any truth in this and I'm sure the Echo will be printing something tonight, so I'll make my comment when all's out in the open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Just the thought of it is cause for concern, without the King family`s money we will be finished. I very much doubt the rumour is true but you`ve got to ask yourself if you would put the money in while most people on Canvey don`t appreciate it.

A Non E Mouse Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 I'm sure if there was any truth in it then it will all come out in due course. I would also have thought that information would have leaked out at Southend before now as well. I can see various reasons why Jeff would have had enough, but also a fair few as to why I think this is just another footballing rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I remember when this rumour popped up a few seasons ago, and it went exactly along the lines of this one, (King going to Southend etc.) Fortunately back then it was complete [****!!****], and the person that started it that time admitted to me in person that it all stemmed from a silly idea he had... This could be just the same again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Well Well I do believe we have a mischief maker, the item was posted by one Martin Jenkins. There are three Martin Jenkins on The electoral register, phone book or education lists in Essex. I have disguised them slightly to protect them from crank calls etc. I would also rule out number 3 as he is very elderly and when questioned did not know how to turn on a computer let alone post.
