THESE are difficult times for Southend United.

We are heading out of the Football League and possibly oblivion.

The bookmakers have Southend at 1/3 to come last in League Two - this is last out of 92 teams.

For the past two seasons we have been poor at scoring goals. We have just sold our best two goalscorers.

Any ideas from the fans before it is too late?

Change the chairman? The club was recently valued at £3.26million. A fans’ buyout? Time is running out.
