Do the Board feel that promotion is feasible this season?

Why did you sack Gilso? Give him his job back you sh1t

Nice one Max ,cheered me up

Can you ask Kent whether he had a football up his new Orient top on Saturday or is he rehearsing for the new weebles wobble but we don’t fall down movie

Thanks in advance

Ok, let's put this one to bed once and for all.

Has the salary budget for the squad for the 2019/20 season changed since Travis agreed the budget back in April?

My question is this.

Having now experienced football for two years, have your thoughts about the realities of owning a football club changed and if you knew then what you know now, would your decision to become our major shareholder be different.

Terry.

Looking forward to playing as Orient on the new Fifa game?

Is Mr Teague still thinking about buying two more clubs in North America and South America?

We visit Bradford away towards the end of the season and it could be a crucial 6-pointer. Is Kent aware of the significance of the same crucial fixture in 2007, which is used to ascertain whether or not you can be classed as a "real fan". I believe just over 800 of us can claim that status.

800 away fans attended, 8,000 claimed that status.
"real fan"

Yeah, but we're you at Cardiff in 1978?

Do you see any advantages in the UK leaving Europe without a deal?

Is the Board actively seeking new investors to consolidate the club and drive future progress.

I hear Neil Woodford might be interested.

Did he know that Jimmy Bloomfield and George Petchey ran the club with about 3 full time backroom staff.
Can’t believe all these quadruple barrel name new jobs.
Like something out of the Guardian.

What do the board make of the endless mewling from a small number of 'fans' on here; who endlessly criticise everything the club does (or doesn't do). Does it make them wonder why they bother?

I think he would have feedback from people who have an opinion rather than the sycophants who keep on embarrassing him in the SC by keep thanking for saving our club.

My question is....
Has Kent spent more money on the club, than he thought he would have to, before he owned us?

I've no doubt as a businessman he would welcome any constructive feedback. But there is a chasm of difference between that, and only opening one's mouth (or taking to a keyboard, in this instance), to spew out endless negative whining about anything and everything.

Too right banqo ,
A very select few & to be fair
If my dad & me hadnt been getting the boat to cork

Still some fans seem to make a big deal out of being at Bradford.

Not there but was at Ninian park in 78
Also risked life & limb going to turf moor in 87 .

How many at bradford did both of them ?

Does Kent feel we need more American style razzamatazz down at Brisbane Road?

Can you tell us how much of the £700,000 received for bonne and Koroma will be spent on incoming players, and did the club receive an incoming bonus from Dalbys transfer from Leeds to Watford.

He touched on this on the Orient Outlook podcast - none of the money comes out of the club. The Koroma fee goes towards the academy set up and is added to the playing budget for the first team. Bonne's fee is added to the playing budget for the first team and general club needs (e.g. if we need to do anything to the East Stand). Martin Ling decides how much goes towards these.
