be warned people.
be warned people.
It was more the fact that are supporters are split between us battering league 2 next season or Sheikh Bin Hoffman bailing us out.
Indeed! Might be us in 1-2 seasons if things don't change in the background.
be warned people.
.....But we'll be ok because there can't be anyGood luck to Leyton Orient another one that got past the owners test at the football league, these people really are not fit to govern the greatest sport on earth.

The owners when they took knee were heralded by everyone.
They had money and were prepared to spend it and spend it they did.
When Slade and Hearn game with in a whisker of promotion from league one they had one of the lowest budgets in the league - around £27,000 a week with strict salary caps.
The new owner massively increased the wage budget with one player alone on £9,000 a week. They signed Darius Henderson and he was another on a huge salary.
It imploded and the owner spent millions of his own money and its ran out.
Investment was never a problem. Professional competence was.

I know a Orient supporter and he assures me Darius Henderson was on £10,000 a week, plus most others he said were on well over £5000 a week.
That simply is not the way to run a league 1/2 team especially on well sub 4000 crowds, so its no surprise its gone tits up.
I'm not SISU's biggest fan by any means ,but they would never pay silly money like that on 4000 crowds and one thing they have got right in the end is not overpaying crap like Henderson and other journeymen, silly money like that.
I like that they pay what players should be paid at this level so they have sorted that out, whether you like them or not.
I fear for Orient now as I feel the owner may have their ground planned for London's newest housing estate, it may have been the plan from the get go. The land alone will fetch millions.
I've been to Brisbane Road so many times though well in the past, as I used to do a lot of work in London and we would catch a game after work whoever they were playing, well before those awful flats sprung up in the corners. Fantastic little atmospheric ground in those days and I've seen the mghty Skyblues play there a few times also.
Really sad to see the state they are in and it doesn't look good for their future
Not looked but is it Russell Slade or maybe they have appointed the other king of relegation Steve Waggott
The owner
So what am I going to do with my league 2 on tour tee shirt

Hes just stepped down as honorary president. That shows how bad it is.Actually Barry Hearn still owns the ground. He separated it from the club during his tenure and partially redeveloped it with flats on the corners and a health centre. He gave the club a 20 year lease.
The fans think the real reason the club has imploded is because the owner is vindictively punishing them after a demo against his ownership the last time he attended a game
