Nah. Without fail I got the best possible deal for my team. In my experience that then precipitated the best work ethic for the business. When the sh*t hit the fan I had a team willing to go the extra mile for me. Not a stupid deal for sure but a good one for them. Golden handcuffs. For the right people.

Have I been moaning about a lack of signings? Not too sure that’s true. In fact I’ve been positive about the three who have come in and expect more based on comments from Travis and Ross. Even then I’ve been clear that I don’t expect big name, by lower league standards, players but competent bench warmers.Buddy Manucci wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 5:24 pm Doh has been whining all pre season about a lack of signings, but advocating giving more money to a player now who is already under contract and might struggle with the step up again.
Capitalism. If you feel that as a boss you shouldn’t look after your team as best you can I’d hate to work for you. I always believed as the boss that I was only as good as my team and I made damn sure I surrounded myself with the best people I could get and rewarded them appropriately. Who the feck wants to take on people, invest time and effort in their development just to see them take their skills elsewhere for a few more quid. Get the best, treat them right and they are more likely to stay longer and do a good job.Red_Army wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 4:54 pmGolden handcuffs- don't you just love capitalism?dOh Nut wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 4:09 pmNah.

@dOh Nut Yes what you have written above all sounds quite sensible and logical, but not it seems to others !!dOh Nut wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 5:48 pmCapitalism.

Still what else can you expect on the Leyton Orient forum !!
Whenever I go to Leyton Orient matches and talk to supporters I may meet there, if I mention of the'' Leyton Orient Forum, most of them say ''what the blue forum ? That's full of idiots and nutters who are non stop arguing and insulting each other''
Say no more !!

It was the idea of chaining up workers that I objected to originally.dOh Nut wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 8:08 pmEven a woman.Red_Army wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 7:05 pmI'd hate to work for someone who wanted to put me in handcuffs.dOh Nut wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 5:48 pm

Or is that a politically incorrect, sexist, or any other ist comment? If so apologies.
Speaking personally, abuse whether here, Twitter or Facebook don’t bother me. And I’m more than capable of returning such things with interest. I’m no shrinking violet and have had to deal with some pretty nasty stuff face to face, so no big deal. But my personal preference is not to go down that route. I quite enjoy this forum, it’s banter and even strong disagreements. But the childish insults do get boring.Buddy Manucci wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 8:21 pmIt was red for quite a while, in fact for most of your time posting here?Sid Bishop wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 6:20 pm@dOh Nut Yes what you have written above all sounds quite sensible and logical, but not it seems to others !!dOh Nut wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 5:48 pm

Best stay off the Facebook group and Twitter then, abuse gets really personal on those. This doesn't even come close.
That’s how I see it. Good reputation value.JimbO wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 8:41 am Hasn't the club policy over the last couple of years to reward players who have performed well and brought good value to club with better terms. When players look at us and see how we now treat them surely it would be liable to make more players want to sign for us over somewhere else.
Of course, makes sense doesn't it !!dOh Nut wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 9:28 amThat’s how I see it.

Agreed with that assessment. The amount of crucial last ditch headers he and Marvin won in that first half was ridiculous.Thor wrote: ↑Sat Sep 28, 2019 8:06 pm In the match day thread some people are having a pop at coulson, just by coincidence I was watching him closely today as he’s not been the dominating defender he was of last year.
The pace of the game is quicker and pace isn’t his strongest point.
His heading today I thought was good and he was especially in the 2nd half getting to headers that he might not have had a right to get to.
His distribution was ok, no real wonky passes and made good choices on who to lay it off to
I thought he did ok overall.
However, I believe that he is carrying an injury or something else. In the 2nd half he seemed to be struggling with his right leg, possibly hamstring, but it was clear he was not comfortable nor running well. However, at this point we had no subs left and he carried on.
Putting it in to context and some have possibly been over critical, I think he’s carrying an injury which is stopping him getting to full fitness, it’s his importance and leadership which is possibly overriding the physical condition right now.
He will come good again, that I’m convinced of after watching him carefully today.
