Promotion

[Orient Punxx]

Gotta be this season.

Think you may be disappointed
Hope I’m wrong mind.

With the investment the owners have put in then promotion is a must.
The next two weeks are crucial. No way is the squad good enough now.
But we have a manager who knows this and I expect him to put it right.

[Jack]

Agree with still wrong here. This current squad, as it is at the moment, is not good enough for promotion, but we have the best manager in the division.

He knows what is needed, and hopefully the powers to be will let him bring in the required players. A quality midfielder, and a goal scorer, would transform this squad IMO

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

2 promotions in 5 years was the plan, wasn’t it.

I know we wasted 2 years pissing about with embleton, so maybe that target has been reassessed?

I would say promotion this season is a must.
The Directors have change their plan and have bought in a experienced manager who will not be cheap.
They will expect the team to be in and around the top all season.
I would guess that Jackett is the highest paid manager and will also have a top 3 budget.
He wouldn’t have taken the job on anything less.

There’s no way they go for Kenny Jackett it promotion isn’t the goal

The time wasted with Embleton was ridiculous, if anyone thought he was any good he would have another job by now.

He will probably get another football related job but very much doubt that it will be as a football manager in the EFL Division One, Two or the National League.

[Cheshunto]

I think Embleton is better suited as a coach rather than management material.

[tuffers#1]

Not going to happen this year .

Embleton had the cojones to step up when we lost JE and keep things on a level, not many would have done that and for that I am grateful.

At least for a few more years.

Definitely not management material, driving a coach maybe.

I said we would the last 2 seasons !
Spirit has nowt to do with it .

[RedDwarf 1881]

Gotta be this season.

What concerns me is our central midfield . Apart from Prately for McAnuff it's the same central midfield as last season which proved it wasn't good enough. Obviously there's still time to bring in another central midfielder and I'd also like to see another striker .

I think the pandemic could have also thrown a spanner in the works.

Not many assistant managers would have accepted a promotion to the manager role? Right ho.

In what way did the pandemic impact Orient differently to any other club?

It hit us harder because we were still trying to come to terms with the sad passing of JE.

He done it only because Martin told him he was a good manager and we all know how good Martin was at picking talent
