Danny Webb has resigned as manager of Leyton Orient after only two months in charge. They're in a serious mess.
Barry Hearn did say some years ago they'd go out of business if West Ham played at the Olympic Stadium...
Their problems are entirely down to Francesco Becchetti, who's stumbles from one bizarre decision to another, appointing managers and then telling them who has to be in the team and generally getting on everyone's tits.
For me Orient have a significant part in my years following Hull City Tigers. Just about remember 65/66, but apart from the Watney Cup Final, for me the next most significant event in Citys history was the end of the 1978 season when we lost at Orient to finally seal relegation. Stuff like this didn't happen to us. We'd always been a comfortable mid table division 2 team, with the Hull urban myth that we didn't want to go up. But we'd finally got out of the division the wrong way. The start of a long decline which The Twats seem hell bent on returning us to.
I wondered what happened to Omer Riza, I last saw him playing for Shrewsbury I think? Then he seemingly disappeared.
He played for six more (non-league) clubs after Shrewsbury, then became manager at non'eague Cheshunt, then Webb's No.2 at Orient.
Yet still more and more owners try to interfere with team affairs. They all think they know better than the manager they appointed and better than all the other owners who've tried it and messed up. Can I put the idea of a head coach instead of a manager into room 101?
It's just a title to me, it doesn't really mean anything. Silva clearly is managing all aspects, when he joined the club he said the job title was very unimportant, as was length of contract.
Riza got sent to the stand in his first game in charge for verbal's towards the officials...Must be a record.
that might be where they're going wrong. they liked the jak, but haven't been much good since he came back.
