I see Leyton Orient as a slightly bigger club and possibly pay more due to location Small club syndrome. |

That's as may be but they've got Ling and Wellens running things. Who would you rather choose?  |

If it's true and it's between us and Orient, then I'd 100% expect him to pick them over us, even if the financial situation is identical. Especially for someone who's not had the best couple of seasons, the familiarity of going back to a club where you had your best spell, where the fans know and, presumably, like you, would be a big draw.

Its nothing to do with size of club but more about knowing the environment in that case. |

I really don't know why I'm 'liking' it. Think it just demands some kind of reaction. |

Do many other people see Orient as a slightly bigger club than us? If so, why?
I've always seen it the other way around - with absolutely no research I've always had the feeling our attendances are slightly higher than theirs when playing at an equivalent level and we take more to them than they bring up here.

They are bigger imo, crowds and ground. They've been updating their ground over the years, it's a cracking little stadium. Hopefully we'll catch up one day. |

I haven't thought that recently but back in the 80's they pinched our manager (Tommy Taylor) and several of our best young players who'd just broken in to the first team. That may have left an inferiority complex. |

Billy Beall, Ade Hayes and...Shaun Howes..?
None of them achieved anything did they? It was big drama at the time Orient are welcome to them.

They have ruined their ground, from near 30,000 capacity down to around 15 if I’m not mistaken?
