Interesting article in The Sunday Times re Kent Teague the US major shareholder at Orient (good away game likely next season). Seems to ‘get’ the lower league game.
Eg “American owners believe they have to be a little bit over the top so they can win over the fans, when in reality it’s the opposite, that over-exuberance, that overpromising, that American style is really scary to Europe. My experience is our fans do not want to be over promised, they want someone being realistic. Orient does not need to be fixed. It doesn’t need to Americanise. It doesn’t need to be multimedia blitzed. It just needs to be what it is. Let it be”.
And plenty more wise words besides. It’s a very good read, to be recommended to owners everywhere, where ever they may be.
I read about a game designer and the writer kept calling him American McGee. I thought he was a bit obsessed with his nationality until I realised American was the bloke's first name.

Thanks @our_frank
these are the accounts that they won’t share with the Trust members sadly.
If that is the case, then that might explain why we’ve had a double tilt at promotion.
I maybe misunderstanding but could it mean the 2.5M insurance covered down of this season and the profit from championship covered last season?

Kent Teague is such an American name
