Guesses for new manager

[F*ck The Poor & Fat]

My guess, they will go with the soft option and Ross will get the gig, assisted of course by others already at the club.

[Ornchurch]

Jose Mourinho

Or Arsene Wenger.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

It will be a ‘temporary’ internal move. If they do well they will get it permanently, if not, they will get a new external manager a few months in and move those interim managers back to where they were before

This, seconded. All the team talk has to be is 'let's do it for Justin'. That should be enough for the lads.

[one o in huntingdon]

I would like the nice Mr Challinor or being ridiculous Chris Hughton, local lad and his brother Henry played here for a while.

Back to reality and I reckon it will be Jobi player manager with the same coaching staff and Martin offering guidance.

[banqo]

Fabio Liverani assisted by Mauro Milanese.

[Orient-Jude]

Have heard from a reliable source that Jobi will be the next manager.

[faith1234]

Nice but if we are to move forward we need a real manager

[BiggsyMalone]

Whatever the cheapest option is

When do people think we will know.

Don't want it to be Ross... Looked out of his depth last time he was caretaker.

Strikes me as a good coach I think it would be hard to man manage players, although he could play the 'good cop' role quite well.

I would love it if Jobi did well enough to be manager long term, I do think he's a future manager.
Jobi for me edges it over Webby... Jobi I feel could be quite a similar character to Justin in that he can be tough if he needed to be and commands respect.

Really ?
Well if that does happen, would be something that was done on pure sentimentality rather than hard headed logic.
It could be Jobi on a purely temporary basis, but as to permanent, well only if he did really well ?

Agree 100% about Ross, he may be an ok Coach, but I do not think he is a strong enough character to be the manager of Leyton Orient.
Unless someone comes from outside, I think it could be on a trial type basis for one of the current coaching staff ( including Jobi )
An rank outsider for the job could be Matt Harrold, he stood in as a tempory manager at Crawley Town !!

Good shout that !!

Supposed to be a statement on this coming Wednesday.

[eagwgw]

Sentiment is important at the moment IMO.
Give it t' Jobi t' end o' season.

If it goes balls up we can get someone in half way, the last guy didn't do too badly.

It is fact that managers in the future are going to want things their way, but I feel now is too soon.

That’s what Travis said. Seems the decision has been made and they just want a few days to make sure it’s the right one. That approach suggests Ross to me. Else we would be looking at interviews from outside the club and it would be hard to keep that quiet and make a quick decision. Slade is the only outsider who fits that bill.

[Buddy Manucci]

Webb would be my choice, he has more about him them Embleton.

I don't like the sound of a committee group or a player manager, nor any type of temporary trial basis appointment. I 100% agree sentiment and continuity in this unheard of situation is very important but so are conviction and resolve to continue the club in a forwards trajectory.

[Reflecto]

I'm going for this:-

Short term
Jobi and Ross as joint managers with Jobi as a Player / Manager

Danny as Asst Manager - with some extra responsibility.
ML stays out of the detail

Medium term (if league performance good) - leave it alone and Jobi does more managing and only cameo playing
Medium term (if results poor, experienced new manager)

[Fellowo]

Think Nigel dropped a hint when he said 'we will ADD to the existing coaching staff' so my money is on Jobi.

[Chief crazy horse]

Daniel Webb.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Love Jobi and don’t think it’s he worst choice but I have three issues with it if true:
1- he has no managerial experience at all. We are a newly promoted team with a lot of young players, in a difficult situation that even a well seasoned manager might struggle to contain.
2- what happens if we are bottom in December...he gets sacked?
3- where does it leave Webb and embleton? A sh*t situation and then they are snubbed for a player with no experience.

[Buddy Manucci]

Clever choice of words from Travis. Doesn't rule out external appointments, promotion of existing coaching staff or a player stepping up. He's definitely a lot more polished in saying nothing at all but coming across as being informative then Hearn was.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

My pick would be Webb
