We don't, so I think you'd be wise not to. Bruce definitely had a chat with Brownie with £1 mill involved, we're just not sure he had the formal backing of your club to do so.

Now you guys appear to be rolling in money, any chance Mr Bruce will throw 2 mill our way to get Daniel Bentley. QPR and Nottingham Forrest are doing some serious sniffing around so don't hesitate or you will lose a future England Keeper (Phil Brown's view) and we could have a bidding war on...

QPR have been sniffing about for Bentley, but no offer yet.

Afternoon people. Any news on Mr Bruce and the budget front? We now have a date with HMRC early September so we can discuss tax (a recurring event for us regrettably) and a few million from your coffers would make the party go so much better. If it looks as if you can't now make the party, let...

You're welcome. With Bentley, I was reckoning at an outside chance of a stab at the play-offs. Without him, well that kind of bursts last years promotion bubble, but we shall see.

Brown's just signed a three year deal with us including shares in the club as part of the package. I've got to say that he is marmite with the supporters although the Wembley result has won more over.

Obviously he is a very good shot stopper and last season he kept us in games where we should have been dead and buried at times. He is a product of our youth system so he has probably been forgiven more easily for some of his development areas that a more mature keeper. He is very vocal and...

That's interesting. The researcher types on our message board reckoned your existing keepers would be well above him in the pecking order. IF he comes, you are getting a player, that properly coached, will go on to really big things.

Southend fan in peace. We've been expecting Bentley to go to a bigger club for some time now. Obviously as a club without the proverbial pot to.............we want as much money as possible for young Daniel. What we don't want for him is to go to a club and then warm the bench. What he needs to...

Nope, there are 10,000 of us in Southend who feel like that, so you're not alone.

That's because we want the MONEY, yours and ours and all the twice a year merchants are turning out.:emoticon-0100-smile

Heads up if you are travelling by train to Southend on Saturday. There are two lines out of London to Southend, Liverpool Street and Fenchurch Street. c2c are the carrier out of Fenchurch Street. The info below was posted on our website. The Liverpool Street line is nearer to the ground...

Thanks. We will bring our best game to the table, you be assured of that. Although promotion is definitely our aim, the cup brings in extra money and God knows we need that. So, provided you don't get a spanking at Roots Hall (very unlikely) I would be happy with a draw and more dosh from the...

Southend fan in peace. I can assure you that most Blues fans are seeing this as a really tough tie against good Premiership opposition. The chocolate orange connection will add to the media interest but I have to say that he has got the side playing to the limits of their abilities at the...
