Slightly O/T I know but who was the youngster that was doing it on Tuesday night instead of that Dave bloke? He was really good.

Dave Victors sidekick Matt Hiscock did the commentary with Matt Porter.
Yes I find not having anything to do other than just watch the match very uncomfortable and therefore if something else crops up I might be interested. Doesn't mean I will stop taking an interest in Orient. Tbh very unlikely mid season that anything would crop up.

For us to offer it him must have meant that nobody on the board vetoed it.

He wouldn't have gotten the job here on merit, so why give him a job just because of personal connections? As I said before the only time this thing works if it the connection gets us someone would normally could not have got.

Ling should be removed from the next decision about the staff. The recruitment has been a bit of an embarrassment this season with two coaches getting the bullet because of falling out. If we are going to get an assistant to replace Webb seems that the key attribute we'll be looking for is that they get along with the current set up which narrows the field. We badly need someone who can organise a defence.

The 'cube' stuff that Bob Mills went about on Talksport is bullshit, I am afraid. The club has to come first.

The replacement is Brill and that was in the pipeline for a while

I told everyone on here he was going to be the next manager, I know it didn't happen, but I was right in he would have been had he said yes. It was offered.

I’d be upset if we get him now. It would look like a job for the boys with the Martin ling connection and not on merit
