Should only be looking at loans unless a player we’ve targetted previously is available. When we go up, we’ll need the money to invest in better players. Pointless wasting the budget now.

This transfer window has been "typical Orient". By that i mean cheapskate.

They like to give the impression they are progressive, but its smoke and mirrors, in reality

Three players have been brought in, and have cost the club nowt....a young lad who's not played a league game before, a Rotherham reject, and a guy who hasnt played for a year due to serious injury.

We're top of the league ( till Tuesday), and we shouldnt be bringing in cheapo signings like this. We should be bringing in decent quality players. You dont get promotion with boys, rejects, and sicknotes. Harsh but true.

Hard to take for most fans, but this is true, if we're being really honest.

Remember, so far, a well off club, with about 10 multi millionaires as board members, that are being sponsored by about 30 sponsers, havent spent a single penny in this window, not a single penny!
You do realise we ALREADY lose £2,000,000 per season right?
Sadly that’s football.
Name any league 1 or 2 clubs that turn a profit.

What massive money will we lose ????

We are filling the stadium on a regular basis this season. If we do go up, it will be difficult, and our average attendance next season will probably be less than this when we will be losing more matches. In summary I am not sure our revenue would go up significantly, but players will be expecting League 1 incomes and fans will continue bleating for even more and better players.

Attendances will drop and will be exceptionally hard to regain if the club fail to get promoted.

You realise there are more than 6 people on here so you may get conflicting view points?

PS mine is of course correct, the budget allocated has been sufficient, it’s just been misallocated.
No, no; I’m referring specifically to COYOS who has made these two conflicting points in less than 24 hours.

The reality is that which division we are in will not impact attendances greatly, but whether we are winning or losing does, and we will lose more matches next season in division 1 compared to division 2.

Attendances will drop next season if its looks like we haven't been ambitious enough this season . I don't envy the club's board making these decisions .

If we end up fluffing this after being in such a great position it won't help attendances next season , that's for sure .

Hard to imagine that Stevenage on crowds of 2,500 - 3,000 have a bigger budget than us but they seem to have attracted a few decent players, like Piergianni and Sweeney.
