The story of how Italian billionaire Francesco Becchetti bought Leyton Orient and almost put the club out of existence. Over three seasons we saw two relegations; an ill-fated reality TV show; the whole squad imprisoned in a hotel for a week following at defeat at Hartlepool; unpaid players, staff and taxes; regular interference in team selection; and Becchetti himself fined and banned for attacking the assistant manager on the pitch. Join Orient fans Matt Simpson and James Masters as they talk to the people on the inside and try to make sense of the madness.
