Leyton Orient's recent League One play-off final defeat against Charlton Athletic leaves them in a difficult position, with a significant number of players on loan or out of contract. Manager Richie Wellens described the loss as 'heartbreaking' as he must now rebuild the squad for the upcoming season. With key players such as top scorer Charlie Kelman and assisters Jamie Donley returning to their parent clubs, former player Jobi McAnuff emphasized the challenge of replacing such contributions. Following a takeover, the club is expected to have new funding but still faces a rebuilding effort.
It's never helpful to have as many [players on loan] because every season you're having to restart again, so that is really difficult to replace.
The feelings are 'heartbreaking' given we will not have the same players next season. It's a challenging task for Wellens as they rebuild.
