Why I can't support Fabio Liverani as manager of Leyton Orient

The revolving door of Leyton Orient has been spun and unfortunately for Fabio Liverani, it has landed at his door. Welcome to the club.

So why can't i support this fella? In a nutshell, it's Francesco Becchetti's fault. For being so needlessly selfish. Allow me to explain:

I don't believe that Liverani is the right person to lead us out of a League One relegation scrap, i don't feel that he has the knowledge of English League One football and I don't believe that he has the contacts that an experienced manager could bring.

I don't feel that managing Genoa for six games, winning one, drawing one and losing four, is the type of experience needed to manage Leyton Orient and I can't believe that we've replaced a manager who lacked experience with a manager of a similar ilk.

I feel that his lack of spoken English is going to be telling, i don't think that by bringing over his 'team' is the right move and i don't think that offering a two-year deal to him is wise.

Having to report to the person he just replaced as manager seems pretty odd too.

I can't see that he is going to be able to motivate the players without being able to communicate with them, nor being able to set his game-plans and tactics in action.

I also can't see how the remaining members of staff can be kept on after having their toes trod on.

Off the pitch he's not going to provide much in the way of community plans or inspire the youth players coming through.

But all that can be forgiven. Everyone has to start somewhere remember. And we've probably had worse over the years.

What really pisses me off about this appointment (and the reason why I don't endorse or will be supporting this appointment), is that it isn't a football related one. It's about a poxy TV show on a poxy TV Channel broadcast in Italy or Albania or somewhere.

If this was purely a football decision, then you'd go for an experienced manager with a wealth of knowledge of the lower-leagues, the country, the players and tactics in general.

Here's a list of out of work managers who we could've had:

• Terry Butcher
• Owen Coyle
• Dougie Freedman
• Tony Mowbray

Not to mention my personal favourite (Brian McDermott, who I'd have moved heaven and earth to get here).

And that's just the out of work managers.. not to mention the likes of John Still, Paul Tisdale, Micky Mellon and soon to be out of work Ian Holloway. Not to mention countless others working their way up from non-league or coaching Premiership youth teams.

No. We're lumbered with an Italian speaking coach with no experience of the league we're currently playing in. But he's gonna look great on the TV show, with his Italian assistants, coaches, players all assessing a game show.

To sum it all up, this appointment hasn't been made with the best interests of Leyton Orient at heart.

This is a selfish move by an owner who seems intent on trying to win an audience in a TV battle.

And that is why I can't support a move like this.
