Ron Martin - has decided to

Martin: 'I've been here for 12 years now and I might be here in another 10'

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Uncle Ron could still be in charge in 2020, charge of what, depends on your point of view.

The forum, held at the Park Inn Palace there were around 250 supporters packed in and ready to hold the Shrimpers supremo to account.

After starting with a 25 minute power point presentation that Ron felt covered the all the main issues he took questions from the floor with the meeting over running to an hour and a half by the end.

Martin: "We have stalled because of the economy and not being able to get on sight. But I will fight and struggle for this club. I love winning and the love the passion of the fans. I have been here for 12 years now and I still might be here in another 10"

1) HMRC are being payed on time and there should be no further problems.

2) He also hopes to start building the new stadium in the summer

3) To set aside £3million to cover the costs for the team while the new stadium is being prepared. (He owns 29 companies!)

4) It was made clear that Lee Barnard would have left the club once he knew Southampton were interested. Had some kind words to say about Bailey as well. However, Franck Moussa, Simon Francis and Alan McCormack will be staying whatever league we'll be playing next season!

5) That Brushy had to go. Martin: "I just felt him and Steve were becoming very alike and we needed a change. I think the decision will make Steve a better manager too."

(S24 did get a chance to speak to a Blues player recently, and he was shocked at Paul's departure and said he would miss him greatly, there was no sign of affected morale there with both men in charge.)

6) Believes Tilly is continues to be the right man for the job and will be offering him a new contract.

7) The new assistant manager once Webby goes at the end of the season will be someone the fans know and admire!

You pays your money, and we do, so will have to make our choice.

Better the devil we know?
