Season summary

On 5 July 2010 former Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle manager Paul Sturrock was announced as Southend's new manager with Tommy Widdrington as his assistant.[1] Sturrock's first signings for Southend were former Northampton Town left back Peter Gilbert[2] and striker Barry Corr who was released by Exeter City.[3] Both players had played under Sturrock previously. With Southend being under a transfer embargo, both players could only sign pre-contract agreements.

A squad of 17 players were only registered in time to play on the eve of the new season as the club's transfer embargo was lifted. Sturrock led Southend to a respectable 13th-placed finish in his first season.
