Revelling in it: "Geoff King has failed to live up to expectations"

Southend Chief Executive Geoffrey King should join the dole queue.

"Geoff King has failed to live up to expectations," Southend forward Alex Revell told the Southend Afternoon Echo Sportsdesk on his return from a loan spell with Swindon.

"He was appointed by the Football Club to deliver which he has not done and that is why he should be moving on.

"Others may fall into the same catagory (sic) as we move forwards and rebuild the finances and supposedly a new ground."

The controversial executive, who moved from Martin Dawn plc to South Eastern Leisure plc in 1998, has presided over a loss of nearly £2.5m in the last financial year.

Most damningly, he has still failed to resolve the onions in the burgers issues.

Dish of the week: King-sized humble pie

Rev's tip - Humble pie, is a form of revenge, so it's best served cold. Simply take a big bite and then keep your mouth shut, King.
