The Leyton Orient Chronicle
Market30 Aug 2027
Dylan Levitt asks to leave Leyton Orient
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Transfer targets30 Aug 2027
Leyton Orient rebuffed over Daniel Kanu
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Charlton Athletic have kept their man, and Leyton Orient go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Leyton Orient turn down Grimsby Town for Henry Cartwright
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
The dugout30 Aug 2027
Sonny Perkins keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Leyton Orient may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Isaac Hayden in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Leyton Orient this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match28 Aug 2027
Luton Town take the points off Leyton Orient
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The dugout30 Aug 2027
Dane Scarlett gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
The dugout30 Aug 2027
Luke Jones answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.
Squad30 Aug 2027
Benjamin Clark stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Benjamin Clark and Leyton Orient agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
