Let’s begin with the apology and work our way back.
After an incident during Leyton Orient’s 3-2 win over Portmouth last night, the O’s issued this statement,
“Mr Becchetti and Mr Hessenthaler would like to clarify the reports in the media following the Boxing Day game.”
“The event reported in the media was very much in good humour for both the President and Assistant Manager and part of an ongoing and good natured exchange between the two over the past few weeks.”
“There was absolutely nothing untoward about the exchange and the two men get along very well professionally on the pitch and personally off the pitch.”
That doesn’t sound too good now does it.
The men in question are Francis Becchetti, the owner of Leyton Orient, and the club’s assistant manager Andy Hessenthaler, who appeared to do their best to re-create Fr Ted kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse with this scene after last night’s game.

Nothing in it they say.
Sure, you see John Henry kicking Jurgen Klopp’s assistants all the time.
