Anyone see what Lee Mansell just posted to Nico?

Please Jean-Pierre Simb. Also Neville Southall and Wayne Thomas.

I would up Rodney Jack's pace by a fair bit too.

Well if we agreed a deal then why are we still negotiating with him? I can't imagine we're trying to get him to take less than we agreed a month or two back, so perhaps he's had another offer and wants a better deal from us to stay.

Didn't we agree a deal with Oastler a few months ago? I'm almost positive it was on the official site a few months back (although I can't find it now).

It can't hurt. Maybe now people have seen that Plymouth, Swindon, Oxford and a few other games will be played with a 4000 capacity, a season ticket and guarenteed entry to those games looks a better buy than a week ago.

Are Palmer, Yeoman and Spear ready/good enough for first team football? Apart from Yeoman's brief 30 mins against Oxford about 3 years ago now, they don't have any first team experience at all. Also, I thought Palmer and Yeoman had 6 months deals that are running out now? The squad's looking very th...

I wish Lathrope had taken out Mousinho...

I believe the Orient fans used 'Sling Ling'.

Also quite important to consider that he's 24 now. At 20 there was a lot of room for growth (no jokes please), but at his age it's very unlikely that he's going to suddenly raise qualities of his game. Personally, I don't think he'll ever be a regular starter here and wouldn't be sorry to see him mo...

They'll sell out any time of year. On the opening day any big side that don't quite sell out but bring a big following would be perfect.

Hopefully a home game, as crowds are always bigger on the opening day. A big side who'll bring extra fans but have an awful team would be ideal.

We had a brilliant side last season - 7th was a fair reflection of their ability, not over-achievement really. In terms of budget and reputation, certainly, but we finished in the play-offs on merit with a solid defence and dangerous attacking players.

Ling is probably somewhere in the middle of who we could have appointed. Not the most popular, the most experienced or most anything, but as pointed out above, ticks all the boxes of who we were looking for, and presumably is cheaper than a few of the other contenders after his experiences at Cambri...

Stupid thread....... Sink your share of 1.4 million into the club and then you can have a say on who the new manager is. Easy.... The club turned over £2.1m last season, of which a very good percentage comes from the fans. I'm reasonably happy with the appointment of Ling, and can completely...

Guesses for when we'll work out he's left?

My guess is we'll name him in the team on the opening day, only to wonder why he's not turned up at the ground.
