This can't be right. Embleton said, the other day, that some players would be coming in this week.
So, can we now not even afford the dregs?

Doesn't matter how much we spend on who we bring in. If we bring in a striker, Ross will play him on the wing and if we bring in a winger, Ross will play him at full back. Hey - ho, this one up front policy is working well though so why change it ....

Apart from blowing a wedge on Fletcher, how do you know Ling has spent all the budget ? My understanding is there is money for new players. How much money and for what quality reminds to be seen.

Who says we've done the budget? Kent said wed be Impressed with the incoming players, 1 keeper would not quantify his comments so i do not believe this for one minute.

Yeah true, but I doubt we are contributing much if anything towards his costs.

Actually the quote was that we'd "be impressed with the players [they] are looking at"

Never mentioned they were incoming or to be signed.

That's sounds a good solution but we would then have to pay him off although I would 100% be in favour .

Not enjoying the constant bashing of an Orient legend. However let's hope things pick up soon otherwise I may have to pen a strongly worded letter to the board.

Ditto. The guy is incompetent beyond belief. What other club would have still kept him on after the complete and utter Fletcher shambles?

Laughable.

Maybe they are merely following the East End standard of running a football club as set by those geniuses Sullivan and Gold?

No wonder the rumour was circulating in the Gallery on Boxing Day that Macklin had been told to get another 250k in commercially earned money.

Why is that? To enable signings? To balance the books? For something else? Was anything further said behind the reasons?
