Linked with the gas.
Isn't he Harry Rwdknapp's old assistant?

Was he involved at the start of Southend's most recent demise?

In early May 1998, Kevin was named as Assistant Manager to Alan Ball at Portsmouth. Following Ball's sacking, Bond became first a scout for West Ham United, and then returned to Portsmouth as reserve team coach under manager Harry Redknapp.
However, following Redknapp's resignation and subsequent appointment at rivals Southampton, Bond chose to return to his old club and was appointed as one of the coaches working under Redknapp.
When then assistant Jim Smith's contract wasn't renewed following relegation, Bond took up the role. When Redknapp left Southampton to return once more to Portsmouth, Bond also chose to again follow him, but this time he was appointed assistant manager of the Fratton Park side.
On 2 April 2019, Bond was appointed as manager of Southend United until the end of the 2018–19 season. Southend, under Bond's managership, finished 19th in League One, successfully avoiding relegation on goal difference, following a win on the last day of the season against Sunderland.
After a run of six defeats at the start of the 2019–20 season, Bond resigned from his position of manager at Southend United on 6 September 2019.
On 20 September 2006, the Football Association announced that it was to investigate allegations "relating to players' agents and connected activities" concerning Kevin Bond, following a BBC Panorama special on corruption in football.
Newcastle United placed him on gardening leave following the broadcast, and terminated his contract on 26 September, although no charges were brought against him, and Bond has denied the allegations.

Looks like he will fit in well with our new exceptionally low standards.
Welcome to Rovers Kevin.

If this is true then it would be beyond the point of wanting the foul individuals away from my club, the person at the head of the top table allowing this to happen to the club that I used to be proud to support would need to go.

As things stand, he`s probably unemployable whatever the court decides. Even if you forget the fact that he`s had more fights than Roberto Duran, his record as a manager with us, would surely deter anyone in their right mind. |

Wasn't HR part of a south coast consortium poised to take over the club years ago? Pure speculation on my part, but according to a rumour on the other forum, the FM site has been bought ... |

Bond seems to be rated as a coach or assistant manager because he gets employed plenty.

Bristol Rovers F.C can today confirm the addition of Kevin Bond to Joey Barton's first-team coaching staff.
The 64-year-old has a wealth of coaching experience, working in the Premier League at Portsmouth, Southampton, Tottenham and QPR as Harry Redknapp's Assistant Manager. Bond managed AFC Bournemouth between 2006 and 2008 and his most recent role was as Manager of Southend United.
Bond will be in the dugout for today's Sky Bet League Two fixture against Exeter City.

Hopefully Kevin's experience can be a real benefit to the team and Joey.
Could be a very good signing.
