Totally agree.
I would like to know how we could finance the building of 3 stands without selling the 4 corners etc.
Would've been able to finance a lot more if he hadn't diverted the funds to himself rather than the club getting full value (East Stand rent etc.)
He'll also be banking a nice rental income increase too, none of what he's done is for the good of the club over the Hearn family interests imo.
All very true, but how would you pay back the money owed to Matchroom.
I suppose you think he should’ve written it off?
It always makes me laugh when you get football fans who pay about £300 a year think a owner who has all the responsibility should be a mug and write off a debt.

At the AGM on Friday, both Mr Travis and Mr Teague were highly complimentary of Mr Hearn.

Other chairmen managed to own the club without stealing the ground away from the club.....

We got to be a competitive league 1 side.
How far do you think a club of Orients size can go?
I suggest league 1.

You've just reminded me - coincidentally the last person who commonly used the derogatory "mug" - when referring to O's fans - was.... BH
