Didn’t read anything put out by the club along the lines of what you’ve written, anything else is just rumour.

Looked on the Orient channel on YouTube and are you referring to the interview about the new coaching set up?

This is very similar to last year this time. Other clubs get their players in before pre season training, and we dont.

Last year I was told by many on here to have patience, and all will be fine......then we signed Alabi & Gorman!!! two of the worst signings ever.

Last year we hadnt let about 6 players go, at the end of the previous season, which we have now.

Weve signed two, and we need four more IMO. Pre season training starts tomorrow i think, so the clubs got less than 24 hours......I'll leave it there

Everything is so slow. They know what is needed, so just go out and get them the finance is there, it's not rocket science.

....

And look how disastrous the season turned out to be.

Orient slumped to end as League Champions and FA Trophy finalists.

That
management clearly didn't know what they were doing.

I would hope new manager can learn from those failings

We are champions despite crap signings not because of good signings

Up a level. Key players gone. We need to be a little more on the ball. But I’m sure it’s all in hand

Exactly. We had minimum help last season from our two Summers signings. One now's on the transfer list and the other will start the season as fourth choice central midfielder.

Orient were Champions because they had best side in the League.

No need to waste money on other signings last season as they would not have finished any higher, even with Messi, Neymar & Harry Kane

Just have some patience.
Youre like an echo chamber....exactly the same words from you a year ago, and then patience was rewarded with Alabi and Gorman

We won the league DESPITE those signings, not because of them. JE realised Alabi was pants by November.

The early bird catches the worm........he who hesitates is lost !!!!!,
