As the whiners on here constantly mewl; we're so slow to do our business we are likely one of the last in the division to bring in players.

What a shame we didn't keep up with Cheltenham, Fleetwood, Port Vale, and Carlisle last season eh. Moving quickly really worked for them.
The same could be said about the clubs that went up they brought in players quickly and even Stevenage who were pushing for promotion right up until the end. Evan’s has done it yet again and moved quickly in the market with Rotherham and I’m willing to bet they finish above us. Even Stevenage have been more proactive in the market than we have.
Rotherham cleared out 18 championship players & brought in 16 cheaper ones
Yep we have also cleared out a few and replaced them with two donkeys and a Stoke Mandeville out patient

Sol Brynn & Shaq Forde were fit start of last season

Does that mean I & others dont have to see the anger & hatred you have for this football club & its supporters?

Same old, same old despite assurances that we woudnt be late in making signings as usual.
All that will be left are sick notes and players that are past it or other clubs want rid of because they are not up to it.

You've obviously not listened to any of Travis's stuff then. He's got people lined up to invest in a project in London that involves building a new stadium amongst other facilities. He can't find anyone who wants to invest where we currently are. He's made it clear that they are working with the borough to find a suitable location, but this stuff all takes a long time. It'll be 5-10 years before they make this a reality, but I think it will happen.
Travis talks bollocks.
Surprised you said that Biggsy thought you were pro Orient? Personally at this point I’m very disappointed in the club,even if they do sign 5/6 players we would have missed out on some very good signings already. After all the rhetoric from the club and Chairman in particular at end of last season and the beginning of this. I won’t be renewing next season if things don’t dramatically improve,once bitten twice shy.
Being pro-Orient doesn’t mean I have to buy into everything the owners say.

Is this the same Travis who saved our club, put us on a financial even keel, engineered us getting out of the National League and presided over his appointed management tram who won us promotion to League 1?

Asking for a friend.
Saved the club, he was part of a consortium, yes. Even financial keel? He talks about the club losing money every year. Yeah, he was the owner when we got Richie and Justin but you also have Steve Davis, Embleton twice, Fletcher, Jobi and Jackett.

He’s also the owner who slags fans off for not spending money in the stadium.

He’s done a lot for the club but that doesn’t mean he deserves an unfettled ride from the supporters.

It’s ‘unfettered’ by the way and such nonsense is not only churlish, but just plain silly.

At the time Jackett was seen as a decent appointment, not the owners fault it did not work out

Who cares? It was a typo. The point remains the same.

I thought he was, then I watched his press conference and could tell immediately it wasn’t going to work. They should have seen the red flags before that.

Well done you.

It's a shame you didn't voice that opinion on here at the time, cos now it just looks like you're making things up.
