Shivaas Gulati
We’ve spoken plenty about COSU. This time, we wanted to get to know one of the men behind it.
Shivaas Gulati joins The Custard Splat for an extended sit-down about his journey into football ownership and becoming part of the group rebuilding Southend United.
COSU completed its takeover of the club in June 2024. Five months later, in November, Shivaas invested and became part of the ownership group.
So why Southend United? How did the opportunity come about? What convinced him to invest in a football club and what has he learned since?
Following on from our ownership conversation at the Season Launch, this episode takes things in a much more personal direction as we get to know Shivaas the person, the businessman and the Southend United co-owner.
We discuss his background before football, his first conversations with Justin Rees, the decision to invest, his relationship with the supporters and his experience of life behind the scenes at Roots Hall.
We also look at where Southend United finds itself today, the balance between stability and ambition, and what Shivaas believes comes next for the club.

Three From Three
Three games. Three wins. Nine points from nine.
Scott Wallace and Scott Barber sit down for the first proper match-review episode of the season, looking back at wins over Altrincham, Scunthorpe United and Solihull Moors.
Rather than simply running through the games, we dig into why Southend are winning... the early signs of Kieron Dyer’s identity, the players making an impact, the strength of the squad and the different ways this side has already shown it can get results.
We also ask the question nobody wants to get carried away with in August…
Should Southend United already be part of the promotion conversation?
Plus, we look ahead to tonight under the lights at Roots Hall as Kidderminster Harriers come to town
