Southend turn down consortium bid

Southend United

Southend United have turned down an offer to buy the club from an unnamed consortium, reports BBC Essex.

The Shrimpers owe nearly £700,000 in unpaid taxes and, if they go into administration, will be docked 10 points by the Football League.

They still face a high court hearing on Wednesday, when they could be placed into administration.

But Shrimpers chairman Ron Martin has turned down the offer from a group of local businessmen.

Southend are understood to have overall debts of £2.1m.
