Southend United chairman is not the most popular person amongst the Shrimpers faithful at the moment and he's taken the chance to answer a few questions via the official site. Ron Martin: He'll be back.........Friday in fact, to answer more queriesWell, it was hardly John Humphrys pressing the PM, but there he was, our on-bail chairman Ron Martin live on Blues World freeview, answering a few selected questions about the current sorry state of the club's finances.And he admits it's all a bit gloomy out there.As for the Echo article, 'how can anyone know?', he says, the 22m his companies are alleged to owe is 'nonsense'.   Now one winding-up order in a week is bad enough, but two over 48 hours is more than just careless it's downright scandelous.Not so says our Ron, but it has been tough out there.Since relegation from the Championship
