Betting Suspended - Wellens to be announced....

[Long slender neck]

Pretty underwhelming.

Why?

[Bergen]

I am not particularly impressed with his record and he was sacked twice in 2021. There must be better candidates.

[Give it to Jabo]

Pretty underwhelming.

Why?

It has been reported that he turned the job offer down twice; only relented when the pay was increased.

[Bergen]

If that`s true, we must be desperate. I`d rather have Mr. Harrold.

[RedDwarf 1881]

Sounds good to me ---but so did KJ and that didn't work out too well !

Can’t get it wrong twice in one season, surely? We’re not that unlucky

Please don't say things like that this is Orient after all . Anyway fingers crossed Wellens can help turn our form around.

If he keeps us up, its worth it.

As was said in the OO podcast, we need someone to 'ruffle some feathers'. Harrold is not that man but I really admire his efforts.

Someone like a Richie Wellens or a Steve Evans is what is needed, at least until the end of the season.

What has Harold done for you to admire him so?

[RedDwarf 1881]

Whether its Wellens or someone else, they have an almost impossible job, with this awful squad we have.
Four seasons back in league 2, and we have a much weaker squad, than we had in the National League

I agree . Our National League winning team was better than the one we have today .

I admire him beacause he has been thrown in at the deep end AND he is trying his nuts off.....unlike a lot of the players.

We I am fairly sure the experience will be beneficial for his Coaching development and CV possibly. There have been many thrown in at the deep end suddenly in recent years for certain. I hope he is loving a bit of limelight at least.
If he gets them going by using the opportunity, he could almost have a bit of a lotto win effectively.

[Mylo Xyloto]

Just a rumour though, no evidence.

[Cheshunto]

Folk on FB reporting that there is a press conference tomorrow.
( No sorry, I don’t have any link )

[faith1234]

I hope that it’s not harrold sorry if I piss people off on here but when and if it is harrold that gets the job and we do go down and he gets the boot I know for a fact most of you lot on here will be saying that he should never have been given the job in the first place

[Give it to Jabo]

I kinda like Harrold; good communicator, "one of our own", "knows the club" etc..

Well, Tickety Boo let's get him through that revolving door pronto. I guy with those glowing credentials is a sure-fire winner, surely Martin can see that

[PutneyO]

Has he any National League experience?

No but his Greatest Hits, Volume 2 is very good

[Chief crazy horse]

Wikipedia says he is the current manager of Leyton Orient as of the 9th March!

Wellens to become manager today according to twitter

[Dohnut]

So it’s on Twitter, football web sites, Wiki. But not officially from the club.

The suspense is amazing, not. More coffee vicar!

[Chief crazy horse]

I'm not sure but something tells me that these sort of announcements are made at 2pm?

[The Mindsweep]

From his Wiki page

"Leyton Orient DOF Martin Ling, after taking Wellens for 16 coffees over a four day period, advised Wellens that his philosophy won't cut it at his club and the way forward is playing his best attacking players at full-back, Wellens disagreed, claiming Ling needs to "Stay in his circle", a hero was born"
