Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Your questions please for Danny Macklin. As we discuss wage capping and the PFA response on Wednesdays show 7pm On Phoenix 98fm or online with hosts Billy Herring & Jamie Stripe

When will the new season tickets be ready to send out

How will your new position on the advisory board for Premier Sports Network impact on your role with Orient?

Whats your boardin username? Could we have somebody from the club on for a AMA(ask me anything)?

Given you are now the new ‘man in black’, will you be playing any decent Johnny Cash numbers on the show?

How much money does the EFL TV deal bring into the club per season, is it still a good deal for clubs compared to what streaming could bring in directly if there were no 3pm broadcast block?

Does Danny see the new salary cap as a help or a hinderance to our promotion chances and why?

If we do restart home fixtures that allow spectators in under social distancing rules how advanced is the planning for compliance and is he confident that we can cope given the restricted space available in some if the undercrofts?

Aren't you concerned that unscrupulous clubs will find a way round the salary cap?

Whats the realistic expectation or goal for the new season based on the fact we haven't really added much to the squad?

If only a limited number of fans can attend matches, would it be sensible for those most at risk of the virus to use streaming instead?

Related to this if attending the ground ends up being only way to view has the club approached the Council to see if parking facilities could be made available somewhere nearby to reduce number of people having to go on public transport? Spitalfields used to be perfect for this.

Two non playing staff members were made redundant two months ago due to "economic reasons" - but since then we've recruited an assistant manager, McAnuff has come back into the coaching team and now Harrold has joined the coaching staff. How have we added these additional coaching staff if economic reasons meant we had to lose these two non playing staff members two months back?

Why dont you just come out and say it....say what you mean
He means old people
sorted! .thats better

The skeptical amongst us will say, Orient voted for a wage cap so they can recruit players on the cheap, but if a player had a choice of say Grimsby or Mansfield or Orient, why would he choose Orient, when his £1250 wages will go a lot further in Lincs or Notts, than in expensive London.
This wage cap IMO is terrible

That could end up being the consequence of it. Means really you're looking at local Southern players who don't want to move too far. The decision for a player in the Midlands or thereabouts certainly plays into that bang for buck argument.

In theory it should stop the likes of Salford and Bolton buying the league but they've been canny and done their business early to get around it. That's ambition for you...

Will streaming of matches be available to fans who have not bought season cards and if so what will the cost be.

Does Danny think that wage capping is a big hinderance to Leyton Orient and other clubs in and around the London area i.e wages, accomodation etc.
Not really a fair system and more thought needs to go into a fairer financial approach to div 1&2 football.

Any plans to Live stream the pre season games Danny?

Does having a wage cap mean that clubs like Leyton Orient are likely to have smaller but better quality squad going forward. Are the salaries of inder 23 players a part of the new £1.5 million wage budget?

Will streaming for season ticket holders only include the home games, or are away included as well?
