Independent Leyton Orient Forum

With Orient returning for pre-season this week, I took a look at what they can expect from their new manager with the help of some who have seen his work up close, including former Orient and Millwall defender Tamika Mkandawire.

Good article and I think we have a good manager here. Still confused though as to why, money apart the likes of Brophy, Wilkerson and poss Vigaroux didn't want to stick around and give him a chance. Perhaps he made it clear he didn't want to give them a chance?

Is Vigs confirmed out?

we all live in hope.

The article mentions that although they were winning the Portsmouth fans got tired of Kenny's style of play . IMO sod the style , if we're winning who cares .

Brophy has stepped up a division and has had a sh*t couple of seasons with everything post Justin. I understand that move.

Same with Vig, he must be looking at L1 clubs.

Wilko is the one surprise.

Probably money. The reason about 90% of players move.

Not confirmed but it's time to just say the offer has been withdrawn. Held up the club long enough now.

The silence surrounding Vigaroux is deafening. It seems ages ago that he was linked with Lincoln but nothing more has been heard about that, nor any interest being shown by anyone else, which I find extraordinary - unless he has an overly ambitious agent demanding more for him than anyone's willing to pay. I'd love to see him stay with us, he is a fine goalkeeper.

Great article and an even greater manager in place got my season ticket and very much looking forward to the new season!
