OST, sorry but you're talking rubbish. If a manager performs well at a club it's obvious that he'll get approached by other clubs, contract or not.

Now as a fan of a club, I fucking hate it when it happens to us and in turn hate the cunt for going (Hello Dennis) but deep down accept it as inevitable.

Ling has given Orient a good few years service and helped them rise, so what does he owe them? You say Hearn stood by him: would he have stood by him if they went down?

Any manager who comes here, if they're any good, will see us as a stepping stone to bigger things and that's fine by me because they'd have to succeed here first.

OST, sorry but you're talking rubbish.

Oh. OK then, I stand corrected.

Personally, I believe there's a difference between a manager pissing off somewhere "better" after a few short months and leaving a club after many (reasonably successful) years....

All pie in the sky of course but personally I'd blow my load if we got Ling and Adam Boyd
