Paddy Power have installed Del Bauy Adams as odds on favourite to take over the hot seat at Leyton Orient. Luckily we have played them at home already, so if he gets the gig, we won't have to put up with him at SJP this season (cup draws permitting) bemoaning the refs and everybody else who in his view were responsible for a disappointing result !

You mean Martin "Mad Dog" Allen.

I quite like him, actually - he get's carried away, true, but engages with the fans, responds to ribbing with good humour, and doesn't take himself too seriously unlike "Fat Scottish person" Evans.

Rather him than Westley, apparently the other main candidate.

Personally I always thought it would have been better if Shaun Harvey had concentrated on the basics of the draw, such as ensuring that each team was drawn against one club, rather than against either two or none.

As for his solution that failing clubs should be taken over by the EFL, well there aren’t many potential solutions that are worse than the current situation, but putting Shaun Harvey in charge is one of them.

If he'd wanted it drawn in space he could have chosen any stand at any ground during one of the matches.

Imagine if they chose to do the draw in Morrisons instead.

Listened to an Interesting interview with the new chair at Port Vale on Chiles on Friday on 5Live yesterday .....talking about how they spent the first two months saying sorry to the local community for the way the previous regime ran things and trying to get some trust back....also no more big budget for the manager....she came across very well actually with what she said but there was no mention of what happened to the debt run up buy the previous owner?
