Re: Lingy still dishing out favours to those who made his boy a pro footballer

I liked watching Ling Jnr. Unfairly maligned, Honest footballer, could put in some great crosses. A real work-horse. Good on him. This is the most unhinged and revisionist take on an ex-O that has ever been posted on this forum. Speaking of unhinged…is your response not a trifle OTT? I think he was...

Re: Why?

Orient Outlook used to. Think they got some unwarranted grief on here at some point.

Re: Save our Landlords

We weren’t ’given’ a property, it was paid for and used by family members. We rented as we weren’t sure what we wanted to do with it. Re ‘reasonable rent’, current market rate for our type of property is £1100-£1300 a month. We charged £850 4 years ago and even now it’s only £925, some of which our...

Re: Save our Landlords

I rent out a property and it isn’t greed or exploitation. The property was in our family. We rented it out at a very reasonable rent, saying it was only for the ‘short term’. That was four years ago. We are now going to be selling the property as the hassle involved with it is just not worth it. Wo...

Re: Save our Landlords

Because the link between rents and earnings has now gone beyond breaking point. Many BTL'ers have been caught out be interest rate increases, maintenance costs and loss of tax incentives. It's just no longer viable as an investment. As a landlord of 2 properties, I can say that the biggest issue ha...

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.

Re: One more year, one more year, Darren Pratley

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...
