    "I think that my absence due to ill health could have had some negative effect, but I believe even further that the absence of Mr Becchetti during the last three months has had a more negative impact on the squad. His personal business did not allow him to be close to the team, when he would usually come to the training ground every Friday and to the games on a Saturday. Mr Becchetti has a great charisma and the players definitely feel his absence. "

    Wow. Doesn't quite top the {...} but it comes close.

    shame as know a few orient fans and what hes getting away with is a complete farce, more does need to be done about it, these fuckers come here with the millions and just get what they want, they need to be vetted properly,the worst thing that ever happened to football in this country is foreign investment, the premier league is fucked, the 3 teams that get relegated from the prem are usually nailed on to get top 6 the following season, because of the tv money

    Dear oh dear, so the ratio of idiots owning clubs continues to grow, once one is acceptable more will follow worrying times for football.
  • Sounds like player farming on the cheap at the Orient too. Terrible things happening to our game with these foriegn owners (assumed) looking for a quick buck. Hope they all get their fingers burned.

    Just listening on radio now. More similarities with us than I realised.

    A bloke in work with had a son at Orient, he's on the verge of the first team, but at the same time is seriously thinking about knocking it on the head and starting again elsewhere. He says it's like being employed by a circus.

    That statement's so badly written it'd fail the Turing test.

    Classic distancing tactic by the comms teams of not correcting the grammar.

    The Albanians want this guy Becchetti extradited to face charges of fraud, forgery and money laundering.
    Another owner that passes the fit and proper test then.

    weird
  • Orient have been a mess ever since Barry Hearn sold them, so longer than us...

    3 places and 2 points above the relegation places, that's awful, there are some big names fighting to stay in the football league this season

    Wow.

    It's the comments about the former players I can't get over. Don't know what's happened behind the scenes to prompt this statement (if anything), but I'm struggling to see what can possibly justify such a public flogging.

    What on earth are they trying to achieve? Who exactly do they think they're getting onside with this statement!?

    Didn't realise how bad things were over there.

    That's a seriously misguided statement. Definitely on a par with {...}

    Maybe Roland could make an offer for them...try his methods in the East side of town

    That is the reason these people in no way Can be perceived as 'Fit and proper'.

    Another reflection on how shoddy the FA of this country actually are.

    Do they give a F*** though?
    Of course not.

    It's much worse than Roland's statements, at least RD and KM wouldn't put a comment on the OS commenting on individual players, such as "Jordan Bowery’s contribution during the first half of the season was imperceptible, so his departure can be considered neutral,"

    That's right up there with Roland's statement/rant for gobsmacking idiocy.

    It never ceases to amaze me how such stupid people get to be so rich. What am I doing wrong?

    There will be some Orient fans who will agree with every word, and point out that the bloke is funding the club.

    I wonder how this was received by the members on Into The Matchroom?

    "A Club Statement from Chief Executive Alessandro Angelieri reads as follows"

    =

    "Look. Everyone in the communication team told the owner this was a bad idea but he won't listen to us and insisted we put this out. Is anyone looking for an experienced PR professional by any chance..?"

    Given our location to the O's, my guess is someone told him what to say that statement and it was put together on a sunday evening. ;)
  • I wonder how much he wants for Jay Simpson? Not quite a Mag replacement but similar I think.
  • There was me thinking things were bad here. Cor blimey

    Good statement, as long as you read it in the style of Captain Alberto Bertorelli from 'Allo 'Allo.
