The Prince will meet them personally Never heard of Zamunda, sounds like one of your windups It's from an Eddie Murphy film called coming to America, He plays the part of a Prince from the royal family of zamunda. So yes he was on a wind up.

If fans really want new investment then we should change our name to London Orient . Foreign investment would roll in . Or play at the London stadium. Now that would attract investors.

Had a Brick Lane salt beef bagel in the gallery recently. Very tasty.

Our board deserve to have the burden of debt eased and hope they are more than successful in their endeavour to keep Leyton Orient in the place they now are or one step higher.Maybe a form of fan share could be issued. Thank you board for what you have done for the fans of Leyton Orient. We will probably get Beelzebub back.

Q: if the owners chop out all the non-essentials, sell off any nice-to haves, dump the academy, women and all non-core activities and apply a strict wage limit so that the club breaks even - in which league would we be able sustain ourselves?

Would not be allowed by the FA or the FL I should imagine.If we stay calm about who we should or could have as players then things may settle down a bit.All a bit too frantic at Orient at the moment outside the field of play.This break may suit us well before the rush of games to come on Tuesdays and Saturdays and we might have been coached in free kicks and how and when to have a pop at goal,oh for lots of tap ins.

If we lose £4m this year and our playing budget is around £4-£4.5m and we turnover approx £7m that makes our costs approx £11m where is that £7m going to? That’s a lot of money.

Things are mighty expensive now Thor,a million is within so many peoples reach.New rules on what we need to have to put match put on including players must come to a lot of money.Lower League clubs should be registered as charities maybe that would help.

Given the amount of points we’ve given away this year I think the Os have already registered!😆😆👍

So much politics in sport now fisch that we don't know about. What dictats will apply if you fail that criteria,who knows. With the game going the way it currently is, at some point in the future there will have to be reckoning because the infrastructure for supporting 72 full time professional clubs in the EFL is creaking. Maybe regionalisation, maybe smaller squads, maybe more semi pro’s or a return to more traditional levels of staffing behind the scenes - who knows? It certainly looks to me as though players wage demands are unlikely to reduce in the short term so the practice of slowly killing the goose that lays the golden egg will continue unabated.
