They won't be in the EFL though. Not that I know if it makes any difference.

A few seasons ago they were the team to beat in Div 3
They were a break-even type business.
They got a new owner with money to invest....
As they say, be careful what you wish for.....

Perhaps the football league should think about that and modify the fit and proper person criteria so that sociopaths don't keep getting their hands on our football clubs.

Well done and good luck to them. Becchetti is a lunatic. One of many that need ousting. The Football League are a spineless disgrace and they're as much at fault for the mess as the crap owners.

Very crafty!! Wonder who made that call? Assuming the FA / EFL / officials since there isn't enough time to arrange a replay of the remaining minutes on another day?

A new low for football fans. From what I can gather, reading reports on various media, the FANS who PAY the wages of all concerned, were blatantly lied to that the game was being abandoned in order to remove them from the stadium so they could finish the game without them. This, I believe to be a lie since they game was delayed, not abandoned.

I am talking about all the paying fans of both clubs, not just those on the field.

I realise it was a difficult situation but is it right that for the last 5 minutes Leyton Orient just passed the ball between themselves and none of the opposing team even tried to get the ball?

Seems that way from clips I've seen. A bit pointless but Colchester are a team in contention for the playoffs so a outcome was needed and a abandoned verdict with points and goal difference would of been unfair on the other teams going for the playoffs.

Isn't Leyton Orient not trying for the last 5 minutes and injury time also unfair on Colchester rivals though?

Yes you could be right looking at it that way. Strange scenario really
