Chaos at Orient

Leyton Orient are in a state of chaos under owner Francesco Becchetti and face relegation to the non-league pyramid for the first time in their history.   Becchetti is now neglecting the club, using protests as an excuse, and refusing to authorise any squad additions.

It will be difficult to find a buyer for the League 2 club, the second oldest professional club in London, as the owner has loaded it with £9m to £10m of debt.
