The dregs

Post by cockhat »

It’s obvious our DOF is waiting for all the dregs to find new clubs in early January!
The cream of the bunch will be available the last week in January!☹️
God, be prepared for a push for the play offs, who would be stupid enough not to think we’ll not make the top seven.
Ling is a very shrewd man in the transfer market! 😂😂😂
Onwards and upwards.

What would you suggest should happen now?

What is your 5 point plan for immediate success?

I do, but I am genuinely interested in your solution.

Sadly the solution can no longer be made until the end of the season.
If we survive by the skin of our teeth a clear out is needed players, manager, back room staff and most importantly Ling (if he has anything about him he’d walk), but don’t see that Happening.
Really don’t believe the club are determined to move forward.
If we are back in the NL then I feel there would be little hope of T&T continuing.
The club urgently needs investment, however I don’t believe the board want to risk anymore of there own income.
The fan base -good as it is- doesn’t generate enough revenue to progress up the pyramid.
Is there a realistic solution? I can’t see one!

We've run out of money. It's that simple.

A question along those lines would certainly be a good one to put to Travis and Teague next time they do a podcast. Though I reckon it's more a case that they just want to see how things go over the next 18 months without investing more because of how ahead of schedule (based on their plan) we were promoted from the NL.

Two signings and one player moved on already. What club are you following?

I'm sure someone will put me right, but how can Orient with our income stream, not compete with Accrington, Rochdale, Wimbledon,
Burton, Fleetwood, Wycombe etc, all a division above us?

If we have then we've been spending more than we are bringing in. That means we will have to be more efficient in the use of the funds available. That means trade off's like smaller squads to afford better players - but the start of that process is a smaller squad....
