Poor Orient

[PTID1862]

Right then, bottom of the league, having been purchased by Becchetti, they now have the fact that they are to be the subject of a reality TV show in Italy, that will give young Italians the chance to win a pro contract...

Really? The whole thing is to be shown on the TV channel that Becchetti owns.

Now, this has got to be another case of eeejit being allowed near a football club... or can you see it benefitting Orient?

For me it's a definite facepalm moment...

Add this into the mix, and the future does not look good for the Londoners...

If it gives the team revenue it could work, deserves the chance imo

It could pay off, I know that some fans hoped we could get some youngsters from Juve so what they plan to do sounds like a good way of attracting cheap and different style of players at Orient.

Not that I like the idea.

Let me tell you that what is going on at Orient would simply bamboozle most people, it really is like a pinball in a washing machine.

 

Their manager is an absolute lunatic with literally no idea about football whatsoever, unless they get a stable manager in who actually knows what they are doing they are going to be relegated not only this year but next year also

AND yet, their chairman 'believes' he has one of the best managers in Europe in charge.

I'd agree with you mate.

It's the sort of thing that I would have expected from the Leeds chairman tbh. Oooppss. Not chairman for another 2 months due to his ban, but you know exactly what I mean!!!

The future isn't bright down in that part of London... I fear they are going to end up a real laughing stock
