Re: Grass not always greener
but personally I think he would become a better keeper playing competitive League 1 football in front of thousands, rather than playing for Burnley B team in an empty stadium. Disagree. Training day in day out with Muric and Trafford in a Championship/Premiership environment and the odd closed door...

Re: Travis interview
There’s a bigger question around all of this as to what the fan base is willing to put up with in order to see us gain more success. Leaving our current ground with lots of history/memories Match day ticket prices in the £40-50 range, if not more. With season tickets approach the £1000 mark. A beer...

Re: Travis interview
Travis talks a lot of bollocks sometimes. Seems to be happening more often. If we're to keep progressing, then the next set of challenges for the Club are an order or magnitude greater than what's happened over the last 7 seasons, because they require the significant expansion of our fanbase, and a...

Re: Travis interview
There's a consistent theme across American investment in British sport where they think we massively underpay for the 'product' compared to what they can charge in the states and could be fleeced for much more. There's a reason so many dollars are pouring into English football at the moment, the exc...

Re: Richie interview
Promoted clubs in theory should all be a lot better than the teams we came up with. Why? 'THe division is going to be tougher next year' is pretty standard trope wheeled out every end of season. Wrexham and Stockport will have more money than any of the promoted teams last year. In Wrexham's case a...

Re: Richie interview
Considering everything Richie said and how tough League One is going to be next season our Summer transfer business has to be spot on . IMO, It's going to be one of our most important Summers for transfer business . Get it wrong and we could be facing a relegation battle next season so fingers cros...

Stockport are spending a lot and get bigger gates than us.
Imagine if Mk Dons come up, they'll have more money than us as well.

Re: Josh Koroma
Club would have been mad to give a three year deal to Smyth. His fitness record was very poor when we signed him and he barely played in the first season. Shorter contracts are insurance for the club as much as for the player, as we'll see this summer with Moncur and Piggott, it's hard to get under ...

Guess there's a chance that if they are in the prem, he'll be let go on a free as the chances of him getting a look in there are even lower and the amount they could get from him would be chump change compared to what they'll earn. But I'd be very surprised if we weren't blown out the water financia...

Re: Released Players
I'm surprised to see Rob Hunt going . I thought he was a good player . Also I'm disappointed to see it looks like we're going to be stuck with Pigott for next season He is no where good enough if we want to challenge for promotion . He even had to be told by Ruel recently when to press during a gam...

Re: New Orient Manager?
It's really not an either or. If we had a 18k stadium with potential for expansion, based in the fastest growing part of the richest city in the most popular country for football, it's obviously a much more enticing proposition for potential investors. What Luton has achieved is bonkers and notewort...

Re: New Orient Manager?
Brentford and Bournemouth also massively subsidised by very rich owners to get there. It's certainly one way of doing things but not exactly replicable for us.

Re: Released Players
Hunt was capable back up for two positions so surprised he's been let go. Interesting to see what type of full back we target as a replacement. Pratley looks absolutely exhausted even when he comes off the bench so a little surprised to see him be offered a playing deal. But if he covers Harold's co...

Re: New Orient Manager?
He won't be replace by anyone as good. How much worse they are then him is my concern. Not sure how anyone can say that for certain nobody knows who a new manager would be if one is incoming. You'd also have thought that the calibre of manager applying would be a bit higher as it's not the usual ci...

Re: New Orient Manager?
4 of them came in the 18 months following Justin's death, where they definitely fluffed it but in difficult circumstances. Davis was rubbish but appointed in difficult circumstances as well, Jackett had the strongest CV we've seen at Orient in decades. They definitely have credit in the bank regardl...

Re: New Orient Manager?
Under current ownership, we've improved our league position every single season aside from one. Seems to be an idea amongst some that this success has been despite them and that they were somehow 'forced' into making good appointments against their judgment, which is obviously bollox. We have the co...

It's understandable that the fans are exacerbating it. The manager not turning up at the end of season awards do being completely ignored by everyone at the club can only mean one thing, something is up (as mentioned in the interview with MH last week). The club have nothing to gain from telling us...

Sometimes I forget how weird it is to have dozens of fully grown men screaming f*ck off non stop at someone going about their job. Is there any other walk of life this would happen in? Scabs during the miners strike?
