After Ling is appointed manager, what Orient players are we going after in the transfer window with our millions?
Or any players for that matter?

Ling is not going to be our new manager

who says?

He will be. He's already been spoken to weeks ago.

Fitton in an interview a few weeks back. didnt want to pay compo for a new manager would ratheer spend it on the team

He didn't actually say he won't.

hactually he said he'd be willing to pay compo but "didnt want to unpick a 5 year contract"...

Look I just dont want Maritn ling alright?   :mrgreen:

i'd be happy with ling.but i'd be equally happy with macari,mad dog or cotterill

craig easton

WALTER ZENGA!!! cos italia 90 was ace and a few italians in the team would be quite good

dont mean to piss on anyones fire but i'd just like to point out that just because they're apparenty worth half a billion it doesn't mean there going to spend anywhere near that amount on the club.

i certainly hope they do but its most likely that the majority of there wealth is tied up in other things

But even a 30 million investment is mega bucks at this level.

yeh your right and that amount would be incredible.

it'll be interesting to see what sort of intentions they have towards the transfer market etc...

I hope it's not Ling. I'd actually be disappointed in him if he left Orient. He's doing a damned good job there and there's still work to be done.

I don't like this business of clubs getting managers who are already under contract. There should be a transfer window for managers as well as players in my opinion. Just because other players poach under contract managers does not mean we should go to the lowest common denominator.

If people think we should appoint Ling that's fine. That's their opinion. BUT, if we were to appoint him, I would not want to hear one word from those people if he were to go to a 'bigger' club after six months of good results with STFC. If that scenario were to pan out and I came on here and found people posting the likes of 'Ooooh, Martin Ling is so dis-loyal.....it's only the fans who are loyal....etc etc' I will find out where you live and come round and piss on your head.

Barry Hearn has shown a lot of loyalty to the Lingmeister. Only last season a lot of O's fans wanted him out but Hearn stuck with him. For that reason I don't believe Ling will leave. I hope I'm right.

wise and sturrock werent under contract and look what happened with them.

its a dog eat dog world, especially in business.

Hearn has been known to be prone to a bit of dosh being waved at him as well.

I dont agree, its a business and its about number one.

Seen as Plymouth have taken our manager who was under contract why should we only allowed to be pick a successor from guys who dont have a job.

Surely, for the most part there is a bloody good reason why they dont have one!

Capello didn't have a job before being appointed as England manager/coach/whatever his title is. Is he a bad manager?

What makes people so sure that Ling is the man for Swindon any way? Why should he do a better job than Martin Allen or Micky Adams? (anyone thinking of posting, "Martin Allen????? No way, I'll never go while that scum is in charge" or something along those lines, don't bother. I've just saved you the trouble)

The rules regarding managers need to be changed. It's just getting fucking farcical. Apparently Sanchez was sacked today. WTF??? They only appointed him six months ago if that. It's total bollocks.

because Ling has never actually been sacked and has been at the same club for what 7/8 years.

They are in a higher league then when he started and are in a better position. He has improved them.

Martin Allen showed some promise with Brentford and but took them over in league one and left them there. He did the same with Franchise left them no better off after such a short space of time. The same with Leicester.

Mickey Adams has managed and been sacked from so many clubs I dont even know where to begin!

I'd be happy with Lawrie Sanchez

Tell me you are fishing there paleeeaase?

What the fook has he done?  Apart from take a wad load of money from us to play 2 games in the Prem when he was old and past it!

Can't stand the bloke!

 :twisted:

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: 'course you would ;)

And I hope he continues the good work for many years to come.

well if the rumours about Steve Slattery being involved ... and ive heard nothing and he lives right near me ... but if its true .. he is VERY VERY VERY good friend with a certain Mr Hoddle

COME BACK GLENN!!!

shut up fatters  :soapy tit wank:

   Glenn is now spending his football time setting up an academy thingy in Espana, where he hopes to coach young footballers rejected by teh system, and give them a second chance.   Apparently,  he is motivated by his time with us when lads would burst into tears   :cry: , when he told them they weren't wanted.

I hope he stays in Spain. Along with the rain......mainly in the plain....... :run:

I don't think Hoddle's that great a manager really :shrug:

Glenn Hoddle would not drop down to League One FACT!

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.

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....

word.

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

ling definetley has the pedigree  :P
