Funded by those wealthy Coggeshall families
Not sure. I know they've got a few million but aren't really that wealthy. I was going to link to the previous discussion about them but wasn't sure how to without making a misteak.

Fans of both Swindon and Colchester are praying they they can sign George. (According to a search on Twitter today)

Let's hope that the fitness test at either club doesn't last longer than 60 minutes...

There is an impression by some that George is past his prime. Whilst I don't necessarily disagree, George is a talented footballer and is still only 30 years old, not 35+ as I assumed. There is no reason with the right commitment that George couldn't perform at League 1 level or even better. Whether that commitment materialises at Orient or elsewhere remains to be seen. We all know he is a matchwinner on his day, and an unaffordable luxury on others.

IMO well skill wise he is perhaps a championship level player, but fitness wise needs to improve a lot if he is to play regularly for the Os in Division One.

If Monc's is leaving us we'll need somebody else brought in to replace him . Maybe the Noah Chilvers rumours are true

His attitude must be crap though. If he can’t even be bothered to get fit then he’s no good to man or beast.

What I want to know is why is his god not helping him with fitness. Isn't there something in the Bible about sloth and indolence?

"Championship feet/Sunday League body"

The former a gift from his "God"- the latter all his own (lack of) work.

God has also given him free will which means
he can eat as many Big Mac’s as he wants.
