Leyton Orient name former interim boss as their new head coach

After finding out that Leyton Orient have appointed Ross Embleton as their new head coach, fans gave a mixed reaction…

Clarity at Last… Now hope the board back him with some League 2 players as we need some additions to be competing ?

@lewis_crump1: Could of done with Paul Tisdale

@Bensaddington8: Improving on-field results fair enough we’ve got him in but you know we’ve won 1 game in 14

@gold931: The biggest non secret in football is out, poor appointment by the club taking into account mangers who were available. Nice guy I wish him all the best, won’t be investing much in LOFC over the coming months

@TXTREV: Disgraceful appointment

@ColinPep1: Reality check needed for Os fans. The team scraped promotion last season and it ended just in time before Os were caught. The squad is National League standard. The two best players were sold and replaced with lower quality. It takes time. Ross needs time. Patience is needed.

@DirkTurk: So confident he’s only got a 12 month rolling contract that has taken months to sort? Also because he provides ‘stability’, something not appointing a coach until January has caused. What a strange reason for this decision

@davidbr10355267: Oh well, what a shock!! Not overjoyed at all, the jobs for the boys scenario continues, let’s just hope we recruit properly now(though I won’t hold my breath). Anyway even though IMHO its not the appointment we needed, Up the O’s.
