Brush: 'I respect the fact that the chairman spoke to me face to face'
Tuesday's Echo have published the first interview with Paul Bruch, the former assistant manager of Southend United who was dismissed from the club Monday.
Online extracts released this morning have Paul Brush giving the usual 'very heavy heart that I left Southend' sort of stuff, and what a 'privilege to work alongside Steve Tilson for the last six and a half years', but nothing about what actually went on in the boardroom.
Then again he want to work again and chairman don't like whistle blowers so it's wise Brushy has kept his council, whatever he truly feels inside. That will all come out one day.
Brushy told www.echo-news.co.uk: "We (Tilly and I) have shared many fantastic occasions and matches at Southend United — memories that will last a lifetime. Over the years I have been humbled and touched by the Southend United supporters' attitude towards me. The chairman has made his decision and I respect the fact that he spoke to me face to face. The team needs to win football matches and I sincerely hope that starts on Saturday against Exeter City."
S24 can't emphasize enough what a shock this still is, and believe Ron Martin has made the wrong decision, but again wish Brushy all the luck in the future.
Can't see him being out of work for long, hopefully without Tilly just yet.
