Southend sign "new McCormack"

Southend moved quickly to replace the Tenerife Charlton Reserves bound Alan McCormack when the League Two club announced that Barry Corr had signed a pre-contract agreement.

Corr,who is Irish and has an abysmal disciplinary record, is seen as a like for like replacement for the departed McCormack. Whilst Corr is allegedly a forward rather than a midfielder, he shares with his compatriot a similarly dire shooting record, having netted a mere three times last season. Beleagured residents of Shakespeare Drive reacted with dismay at the prospect, although to be fair it is not yet known whether the former musician will be as wayward.

Fans at McCormack's old club, Mayhem, treated the news with cautious optimism and hoped that the signing was evidence that Southend United was indeed on an upward spiral.
