Club faces big points deduction and judge makes

Southend United face big points deduction and judge makes damning claim at latest court appearance



Southend United face a big points deduction being handed to them after the judge makes a damning claim at the latest court appearance.

The Blues were at court knowing they must pay a tax bill of £275,000 to avoid facing a 10 point deduction, which would see them go from 9th to the bottom of the National League table.

“Judge Prentis: If this was not a football club with the attachment of its fans I would be winding you up today.

“Adjournment is granted. Blues will be back in court on October 4th”

“But the judge warns: “You will be wound up on the next date if it’s not sorted.”

Sad when you see those figures that could kill a club when some of the top players are on that or more a week

Doubt they will be the last either mate.

I agree that it’s frustrating when you see what’s swilling around in the Premier League trough. That said, there are also some very poorly run clubs.
