    The demise of Orient since Wembley 2014

    https://www.theguardian.com/football...tti-owner-fans

    An interesting read on the downward spiral of Orient since their narrow defeat in the playoffs in 2014.
    We maybe bottom of championship, but at least were not bottom of the football league.

    Some interesting statements about players wages and fees too.

    Cheers fc miller. An interesting read that.

    Yes a good read but it's a Guardian article so the facts might be a bit off.

    However it indicates that decline develops its own momentum whilst success has to be nurtured every day. A point we should note when folks suggest it might not be too bad if we get relegated this season.

    Some of the wages mentioned are staggering.

    The Guardian has a history of bending "facts" to suit their stance on things, and are legendary for typos.

    The magazine Private Eye renamed them "the Grauniad" because of this.

    I'd put more faith in the Grauniad than in say, the Mail, Sun, Telegraph or Times.

    The key if we get relegated is Tony Stewart giving Kenny the funds to sign players we need. If he does he'll get us in the play offs at the very least.

    Don't think he can keep us up this season, too much damage already done.

    We want more financial investment, but sometimes it comes with issues.
    If we attract another investor we have to be careful we're not screwed over like so many clubs nowadays. Although, it would give our whingers something to protest about.

    Noticed quite a few lower league clubs are having some sort of issue.

    Have Charlton been penalised yet for disrupting games ?
