TheBigDog Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Information - I see that Leyton Orient have sacked their manager, Carl Fletcher, after 29 days in charge. They have reverted back to the caretaker Ross Embleton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have reverted back to the caretaker Ross Embleton. Yes they have. Strange one throughout really. One that Leyton Orient have described as a "mishap that they don't want to see happen again" From talking to them, they have given their thoughts to the current owner and advised them that they can't return to the days of 10 managers in 3 years like they did under Becchetti. Let's hope their owner listens, for their sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooooh Roger Palmer Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Well done to the 4 lads that have set this up. You’ve done a smashing job. unfortunately I’m in Australia, but I’ve informed my dad (who doesn’t use the internet ) and his mate and they’re joining in on the 7th.

Agree 100% - just what we need as a fanbase - a dream maybe but surely worthy of support Why would anyone not want to see the club function as a proper community club that knew its place and its importance to those who followed it - usually 4th in the pecking order in Greater Manchester after the big 2 and Wanderers.... would love to reclaim that spot but more important to reclaim our own identity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 It’s very well put together, and I really hope it’s something that gains more momentum. But. If you were Abdallah why on earth would you engage with this? I’m not surprised in the least he doesn’t want to talk. The whole thing from his point of view reads, ‘Not arsed what you have invested, because you’re doing everything wrong; look at all these stats to prove how useless you are. You need to completely change everything you’re doing and we might come back.’ What millionaire egomaniac listens to that?? The reality is we are well past the point of talking to him. The disconnect is to far gone now. Better to keep mobilising, and I think the alignment with the trust and the FLG is a good call. Then when it goes complete tits up, we have things like the survey to really understand what we want as fans in a post AL future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think it is something that the club should have done off their own backs given falling attendances, general unrest etc. however AL and his cronies are in complete denial of any mismanagement (no matter how well intended or otherwise) on their part. The PTB sharing their findings with the club is an attempt to provide the fans (both those who still attend and those who don't) opinions in a factual and non-accusatory way. I do agree that its at the point of no return with AL but this appears to be a last ditch attempt to give him the opportunity of at least understanding supporters' concerns.

wiseowl Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 It's a very well presented synopsis of the survey. Nice to see such a professional approach and presentation. If only our football club had anywhere near the same level of professionalism........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the fans forum he should be in no doubt as to what the issues are. This survey will show him the problems in numbers, which he may take notice of. It's a very good presentation of the facts. If he continues in the manner he is, it will become unviable as a business in the EFL. If he cares about that then it's obvious what he has to do.

To be fair (!) it has been that way for years. I'm not a season ticket holder but buy enough tickets to be in the database. Nothing. Ever. So easy to fix and not at all expensive. Exactly the sort of thing that any competent businessman should have spotted was an issue under the previous regime and acted to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsworth blue Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 That would be my first action if I was losing customers hand-over-fist, go back to my information and see who appears not to have renewed and contact them to find out why - not difficult assuming the club has a database - not 100% sure we are probably that organised mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed the last club initiated satisfaction survey I remember, although there may have been some since, was the one where there were strangely a load of requests for the home end to be moved to the RRE. There are 3 fans on the board, Detective Shitpeas, Darren from the Trust and Richard the 'fans rep'. I'd like to think Darren and Richard at least give AL some realistic views of fans' opinions. But whether the Lemsagams listen is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know Richard? At the Fans Forum, many of us were asking who he was.....I would have expected that someone from amongst those present who I know would have known him, at least by sight if not necessarily by name. I have certainly no recollection of ever coming across Richard at home or away games throughout my time watching them although obviously he could be a regular attender, just someone who maybe I haven't come across Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same as the club have clearly started some sort of b grade media assault on Twitter: seemingly scooping up old accounts and starting new ones with pro AL rhetoric. The fact that these patsies are mocking the size of the last protest tells you all you need to know about their attitude towards the dissatisfaction fans are feeling. I hope it backfires and it inspires more to go and make some noise on the 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wasn't he put forward to meet" push the boundary"? He may have had a bit more empathy with our concerns, if he really is a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
