Southend United
National League, England
Southend came frighteningly close to disappearing before a new ownership group finally completed its takeover in 2024. They then lost the 2025 National League play-off final and fell short again in 2026. The club has survived off the pitch - your job is to finish the recovery on it and get Roots Hall back into the EFL.
