Out of interest HM, why Maxwell? I don't know much about him...

Darren Currie is the assistant manager at Southend, saw some people mention his name on twitter, would he drop from an assistant manager in Nl time to become a manager at NLS. Southend do have issues financially as they have struggled to pay players for 2 months running.

Reading this does not give me that much confidence. Think I would prefer the Slough chaps in a choice between.

Currie did manage Barnet for a while ( who didn’t?) a couple of years back but hasn’t taken a lead role since. Sounds as if Southend are on the brink.

I believe he did very well at Barnet too, took a struggling side to the play off semis in the NL, seen as a cult hero there. Would be an interesting option.

Didn't Currie play against us for Barnet, and score, when we played them in the FA Cup 1st round in 2000?

Going on that very honest report, Maxwell had similar issues to those some people on here have been complaining about with Gary.... but Maxwell was a lot worse!

Darren Currie is an interesting suggestion. He certainly owes us one after his last-minute piledriver was too much for Mark Russell at Underhill.

The problem for the new owners is that we may need a different style of manager to get us out of relegation compared to who would be the most suitable to take us forward if we did stay up.

My memory is good but unfortunately not that good, think that’s a question for Les to answer

I’ve already answered that! I was right behind the shot, on the open away terrace and still have nightmares about it!

Lord Elpus · Wed Jan 04, 2023 3:06 pm

Thanks for confirming it Roger, I thought it was him! Poor old Russell might have saved it if he'd been fully fit.

Russell??? You mean Eric Talbot!!!
