London Marathon 2025 I am incredibly excited to be signed up to the @CAFOD team for the @LondonMarathon next year. I've volunteered for many years and had the privilege of spending a summer working in Ethiopia with the @DaughtersofChar. If there is anything you can give, please do so here: justgiving.com/page/andy-lew…

My interview will be out tomorrow but just spent 25 minutes talking to Kieron Dyer and was very, very impressed

I've had a lot of tweets asking the same questions so copying this over from the Q&A on the Echo website last night: With Collin and KAF, yes I think they might leave. As far as I'm aware nothing has been decided but I wouldn't be surprised if they left. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if most of the players listed on the website as in negotiations were to move on this summer.

©️ Captain. Leader. Legend. After seven years at the Club, we wish Nathan Ralph all the best for the future as he departs upon the expiry of his contract.

Southend United’s contract situation this summer really highlights the scale of the job now facing the club hierarchy. A large chunk of the current squad are out of contract following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season, including senior names such as Gus Scott-Morriss, Nathan Ralph, Jack Bridge, James Morton, Tom Hopper, Harry Taylor and Josh Walker. Harry Boyes, Ben Goodliffe, Leon Chambers-Parillon, Sam Austin and Slavi Spasov remain under contract until 2027 but the reality is this summer presents Southend with something they arguably haven’t had for a long time… a clean slate. The loan situation also plays a major role. James Golding, Noah Mawene and Alfie Massey are all due to return to their parent clubs. Meanwhile, both Harry Cardwell and Andrew Dallas have already been released by Forest Green and Barnsley respectively, meaning both situations are now firmly in Southend’s hands. It is widely expected Cardwell will become a permanent Southend player again this summer, while the door also appears open for a potential move for Dallas should the club decide to pursue it. It’s also expected the club will trigger the option on Charley Kendall to extend his stay beyond this summer. Supporters may not want to hear the word “rebuild” after a season that ended at Wembley, but that’s exactly what this is shaping up to be. The positive for Southend is that it arrives at a time where the club finally feels like it has proper structure behind the scenes, a Director of Football in place, flexibility within the budget and an opportunity to build a squad that fully fits the next era of the football club.
