If they know what they are doing, they will see the potential rather than being reactive to what's happening on the pitch.

Exactly what the board have been saying. We’ve got a ceiling and that’s top half league one, maybe top 6 if things go our way . But investors needed to push to next level.

Thought of investors basing decisions on a 5 game stretch is laughable

Investors don’t give a sh*t about the last 5, 10 or even 20 results. All they care about is:

1. What division will the club be in (to which the answer is clearly league 1)

2. How sustainable are they at this level (pretty stable)

3. What’s the potential for expanding engagement and fanbase for the club (limited in the current stadium)

The new owners won't build anything mega, we are a small club with a small fan base. So 15000 max.... but where? Now that the Corporate of London have pulled the mega market at Dagenham and are not funding the the markets anymore, then maybe the move to New Spitalfields that was probably the location planned has gone??? So where in Leyton.... Maybe it's a Havering move?? Hopefully not...

Why would you/we?

"The club are The club can confirm that a period of exclusivity has been granted to a group to help progress discussions around acquiring a majority shareholding in Leyton Orient Football Club.

Both parties will continue working together during this process and, in the meantime, the football club will operate as normal.

Fans are advised that this process can take time".

Probably the same thing they thought when they entered the process to buy the club months before the last 5 games.
