Brady; a bloke & on the right, and Fossett's Farm; a link beyond the boardroom?

With Southend United's ever popular current chief executive Geoffrey King soon to be stepping down and focusing his considerable bulk to the property company Martin Dawn, one of the hundred odd companies in the name of Shrimpers supremo Ron Martin.

It seems King is to be replaced at club by 42-year-old Brady who will also oversee the club's marketing department after the club's commercial director Ian Riddoch was made redundant.

Two jobs Brady, that should please Sainsbury's.

One of the local papers legendary sources told www.echo-news.co.uk: "It's all close to being sorted out now. Tara knows Ron well and is looking forward to being more involved with the club."

Why are we not surprised!

Anyway, he's also on the books of the United new stadium management company, Soccer Stadiums PLC, of which Brady is a co-director and yes, there's Uncle Ron, with Roots Hall as it's registered address.

And the Company Secretary..........Geoff King!

Of course this does not mean this is a bad thing, as ever with Ron things are always more complex than they may seem on paper, and if it helps oil the wheels that will get Fossetts Farm, in whatever form we can now afford, start getting built, let's welcome Mr. Brady to the boardroom.
