He wasn’t seriously rich. You can be as facetious as you want but if you want promotion and to stay there, you need people with a lot more money than Orient currently has.

which ones are you talking about here?

Kent and Parry specifically. I believe Semaca too. Not sure about the others.

These investors make their money by investing in poorly performing companies, building them up and selling them on at a profit. The club with this ownership will not be building a new staidum. There’s nothing sustainable about the club being loaded with £80m of debt building a stadium that will neve...

“I get complaints by some my other American owners, that we spend too much on players”

Look behind the scenes at some of these bellends that parade around the pitch lapping up the applause.

Boston Red Sox tickets are on sale for $18 though https://www.mlb.com/redsox/tickets/single-game-tickets#game=746962 Celtics and Bruins will be less than $200 for a regular season game too in certain parts of the arena. Probably Patriots too. New England revolution $24 🙃 Travis talks a lot of bollo...

Personally I wouldn’t have kept him as he is taking up a wage, which is contrary to what Wellens was saying in his interview about spending money wisely. Having a fit player on the pitch is far better than the dressing room, unless having him on the coaching staff. You have to assume he will be tak...

Lovely stuff.

We have to make the loss manageable. Its not a benevolent society.

Ah yes, all those ‘losses’

Offers very little as a player. Worth keeping around for his experience.

Season tickets up 5% and a new tv deal in place creating extra revenue but the budget only up 10%

Lovely stuff.

Yes but I wouldnt ask for a trio or treble of anything really, unless its trophies won by Orient next season. You don’t ask for a double of anything but you say 2 is a couple. Drank far to many double vodkas last night, no worries I'll have a couple couple at my local pie & mash followed by a c...

Exeter at home

You’re missing the point. Without the biggest clubs, the tv revenue is next to nothing. The tv money gets filtered down to Orient this way. Well given the Prem still don't want to agree the money share with the EFL next season's Champions League looks uncannily like the Superleague concept there's ...

She should know to look both ways

Not happy with Sky getting their claws back into EFL at all. My great hope was seeing the end of the 3pm blackout with Orient running their own domestic streaming service and getting all the income. Alas all that independence gone for a few quid from Sky that will be swallowed up in increased playe...

Go f*** yourself. I dare you to meet me outside the supporters club next home game and say that to my face. No one, and I mean no one, gets to question my miserable moaning MB persona. 😡 Name a time ‘pal’ What time do you usually meet up for your dust offs? Depends really. I may move them back by 4...

Came to say the same, we got those players on a free, they did a great job for us, won a title then moved on for free (exception of Koroma who got us a few quid) Nothing wrong with that, same as Smyth and Vigs as well from the League 2 title squad. There’s everything wrong with not protecting your ...

And we got barely anything for them in return We got promotion back to L2.

When you look back that National league squad was crazy Bonne, Koroma, Marvin all went to play in the Championship, Brophy League One And we got barely anything for them in return We got promotion back to L2. Doesn’t matter. It was bad squad management not having enough time on their contracts to g...

Not really, I was only giving examples that you requested Exactly. That’s all you lot have, petty nonsensical arguments about people “not accepting” it. I feel sorry for you. This is awkward, I also think it’s been a shitshow, you’ve jumped to the conclusion I thought the opposite just because I an...
