@CJPhillips1982 I would try to tempt the Cowley’s from Colchester, they got Lincoln out the National League!

Who should be the next manager for Southend United?

@CJPhillips1982 After going so close last season we did not push on. The tactics at Scunthorpe we mystifying, and whilst we won a trophy on Sunday, the 90 minutes were totally unmemorable. Thanks Kev, a true legend, but it’s time to move on.

Do you agree with the decision to sack Kevin Maher and his staff?
