He’s been played on the right side of a 3 a lot and had to CONSTANTLY cover Sam Ling who decides to bomb forward and leave himself out of position and doesn’t even attempt to get back. The defence went backwards this season too. He’s done the right thing to leave. The footballing side of things at the club is an absolute shambles.

I’d bet Dan Happe will leave this summer too. There’s absolutely nothing positive about the club apart from Brophy, Happe and the fact Bechetti has f*cked off.

Happe would have been in an awkward position last year. He's much younger than Marv so can't just leave on a free (correct me if I'm wrong) and would have been on an absolute pittance. It made sense for him to take the increased money at that time. I will be absolutely amazed if he extends beyond 2021, therefore totally expect him to be flogged off in January.

Losing Marv is down to Ling in not convincing him he can progress with us and grow with us.

Yesterday I suggested he was p*ssed at the lack of public support from the club over his court case, I do feel that had a part to play in his decision making.

I truly beleive he is capable of playing in the championship and I wish him all the best for the future. We had a proper gem on our hands and we let it slip through our fingers.

Now please hurry up and confirm that Ruel has left the club, then let the meltdown commence.

If an Orient player was offered £1500 a week at the O's, but another club up north, offered £1800 a week, would the player automatically go for the money.
Wouldn't the fact he could stay 'local' have some bearing....that his kids wouldnt have to change schools, that he would still be close to family.....mum and dad, brothers and sisters etc.
Surely other factors have some bearing..........it isnt all about money........is it?

I doubt the court case had anything to do with it.

Last season will not have been fun for any of the players. Embleton in and out, Fletcher showing up and being rejected, whatever went on with Webb. And now Embleton and Brill as the management team going forward.

I can’t see anyone with options wanting to hang about, nor can i see us being able to attract the quality players we need with this set up.
