Great article.

Very good read. We can, sadly ,relate to much of that.

To be fair, it is a great magazine on the whole. I only subscribed because I was bored of reading the same books when I was ill this time last year, but it really is a great magazine (that's what they call it but it really is a small book of articles like the above).

That is what it does - gets into you and never leaves even when you think it has, something happens and you feel the agony or ecstasy all over again it just rises through you and you don't know where it has come from. In reality it has just been sat there quietly waiting for the moment.

great article

That's absolutely spot on


As for Orient today

Good: Winding up order dismissed.
Bad: No further forward, Becchetti still in charge of the club with potential new owners unable to contact him.

Normally not one for flowery articles like that but have to say what a brilliant piece of writing. Even brought a tear to me eye when reading it, it's almost life in a nut shell. I really hope Orient survive and come back stronger and that the FA vet potential foreign owners better in future.

As a follow up to that article, YouTube channel Copa90 made a fantastic but very sad documentary about Leyton Orient following them to their last few games of the season.

're vetting foriegn owners .Look at all the clowns allowed in at Leeds,Cardiff,Birmingham and now Reading whose latest directors failed the test first time round.

[ClaretTony]

The Reading one is interesting. They failed the ownership test for the Premier League when they wanted to buy Hull but were allowed in by the Football League at Reading. There was no guarantee they would have been allowed into the Premier League had Reading been promoted. All very desperate in Berkshire these days with Russian, Thai & now Chinese owners.

Time for a cheeky bid for Jon Swift .Reading are seriously strapped and loosing money for fun.Stam will probably walk as funds for players are limited.
