From snippets I have a read it seems a worse situation than ours.EveshamAddick said:Just been reading this in The Grau - another useless interfering owner gets the same result, the club dropping like a stone. The similarity to what's going on at The Valley is uncanny.

Met with the good folk of the Leyton Orient Supporters' Trust recently to offer advice about demos and campaigning. Amongst other things, advised them to seek alliances with other 'crisis clubs'. Good to see them getting active.3

That is certainly worse than what's happening here - terrifying, even. Reminds me of what happened to Wrexham a while ago0

Abysmal what's happening there, it's seems extraordinary that Orient and Notts County are fighting against relegation to non league football0

look all but gone now after getting hammered 4-1 by stevenage last night, all too familiar dont expect to see them back up the leagues anytime soon.0

Dreadful. And if Orient go, that'll leave us as the worst London club in the league...0

Cant Barry Hearn step in and do something?0
-
He could but the Becchetti wants his money back that he gave Herne in the first place. not sure if Herne would do that for a club looking like they're already gone down.
don't know what the orient fans think of Herne as he was the one who sold the club to Becchetti who has invested next to nothing into the club. should herne of maybe been a bit more careful about who he sold the club to?0 -
