Anna Firth issues plea to Southend United chairman Ron Martin
Anna Firth has appealed directly to Southend United chairman Ron Martin, urging him to release his grip on the club. The consortium led by Justin Rees is progressing in their efforts to take over ownership, and Firth believes it’s time for Martin to step aside. She emphasized that selling to the consortium immediately is crucial for the club’s future, asserting that Southend United and its supporters have endured enough hardship.
Firth criticized the current situation as unsustainable, stating that it’s unfair for the consortium to repeatedly bail out the club without gaining ownership rights. She called on Martin to relinquish control promptly and cease what she described as holding the club hostage.
Firth expressed optimism that Martin’s cooperation could expedite the consortium’s formal ownership, potentially within days, thereby avoiding additional financial penalties.
She reaffirmed her commitment to supporting all involved parties and acting in the best interests of Southend United’s supporters during this pivotal time.
