I don?t think anybody (players coaches managers) came out of that period of Leyton Orient?s history in a good light. Something to do with a crazy owner doing wild and reckless things at the top. Reminds me of one our past owners

Why would our brothers do anything scientific or data led there is nothing to suggest that would happen . Better in believing they used a tombola in their recruitments of players staff. Looks like they are lucky owners then

BFP have you actually done any digging on what Edwards has done exactly in coaching or is just more conjecture with the usual negative slant.

You need to mix it up more than Notts do on a Saturday

Ive no idea what youre talking about. Andy Edwards has coached for Orient and various levels at the FA. What hes achieved to get the Notts job would be a mystery but it?s not because we know our HoR knew him from his time at Orient. As you say they were a bit of a mess but we know neither our HoR or our new assistant head coach did nothing to unmess them. If you know something else feel free to share.

I know you log on to these sorts of boards solely to try to take the piss out of other contributors which is fine if thats how you want to spend your time, but debates about negativity and positivity really are dull. Your general position seems to be agreeing with whatever the owners do, which is fine as well, they are very good owners.

This bloke has vast playing and coaching experience.
Interesting hire, we should wish him and Paterson every success. Get behind them and give them a chance.

It's not as if there's any going back now. It's done, this is our new coaching team.

After watching that interview with Andrew, I feel much better. Looking forward to seeing the new look Notts.

The cliched saying is "talk is cheap".

IMHO - Better persuaded by what people have actually achieved rather than by what they say they will do.

Agreed, lets sit back and see what unfolds we maybe pleasantly surprised.

But that?s how football works before pre nerds influence and now. You appoint and select people you know, you have worked with, who you respect and think can do a good job. Long before the days of laptop analysis and reliance on data a manager would move to a new club and bring his trusty sidekick with him. If it is considered lazy now then it was lazy then also.

Before the owners arrived we adopted old fashioned methods season after season, the same as everybody else, and far more other clubs achieved more in the league hence lower placed finishes.

Was that because we had worse managers or because our recruitment was worse?
