Southend are set for an overhaul in the summer under measures drawn up by manager Paul Sturrock. The Scot revealed that he will be formulating a plan to take the club forward, including changes to his backroom staff and the playing squad. He told the Echo: "I am currently in the process of restructuring the entire football club. "I will be coming up with a blueprint of how I want things to be run from top to bottom and will then take that to the powers that be. Ideally, this is something I would have liked to have done much sooner, probably before Christmas. "As well as that I will be changing the squad and will be holding meetings with our out-of-contract players on Thursday." Defender Johnny Herd has already suggested that he will leave the club at the end of the season.
