Ron Martin has hit out at ‘absolute rubbish’ claims that it’s his fault a Southend United takeover hasn’t gone through. The Shrimpers were put up for sale in March this year…
Southend's prospective new owners wanted to replicate what Wrexham have done under Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, but the deal fell throughCredit: Getty Images - Getty"I'm not sure if The Rock was ever there, but Ray Winston appeared to be, but when he pulled out because he was conflicted because he's got an interest in a football agency, the deal fell apart.
One of the accusations aimed at Martin is that he recently purchased land for his family to the tune of around £1million, while at the same time is refusing to pay Southend's outstanding debts to save them from financial ruin and ultimately extinction.“Football fans do get perplexed and bring things into the equation that have no relevance.
"I've got other things to do in my life, not least for my family, and I want to move on. I'm not just an owner of the football club, I’m an effin’ fan as well and I've been supporting this club, home and away, for 24 years, every single weekend.Credit: getty"I think what's putting people off is the current debt and also much more importantly the cost of running the club going forward, but it's nothing to do with property.
Asked if he's in the final days of his tenure, Martin said: “I hope so. I'd like to have sold it when I put it on the market in March.
