The English Football League and the Football Association have both released statements in light of concerned Leyton Orient staff calling for their help over non-payment of their March wages.  

Earlier today, the loyal backroom staff turned to the FA and EFL for them to 'act immediately on their behalf,' after they have been left with nowhere to turn.

The EFL statement to BBC Sport London reads in full: "The EFL remains exceptionally concerned about the current situation at Leyton Orient.

"We are also are of the frustration being expressed by the club's staff. This is shared by the EFL Executive, as we are similarly seeking answers to a number of important questions from the Directors of the club. Silence is not an acceptable response.

"The EFL last met with Leyton Orient Chief Executive Alessandro Angelieri on March 9. At the meeting, we received confirmation that funds would be made available to dismiss the winding-up petition and fund the club going forward. The EFL board received an update on the situation at its meeting on April 6 with the club being asked to provide a further commitment following widespread reporting that the funding required had not been made available. No response has been received to date.

"The EFL Executive are continuing to work with the club's dedicated staff to ensure that appropriate arrangements are in place for Saturday's final home game of the season and we would like to place on record our thanks for those are making this possible, including the local Safety Advisory Group.

"Additionally, a meeting has been arranged with Leyton Orient Fans' Trust to try and and keep those parties with the club's best interests at heart, united.

"There has been significant comment in recent days about the EFL's Owners & Directors Test in the context of the ownership of Leyton Orient.

"It is important supporters understand that the Test governs the eligibility of who is able to own a club; it does not also ensure that those individuals have the capability to manage it properly. The role of the EFL is one of a competition organiser and the management of clubs is a matter for their directors as long as their conduct is not in breach of any of our Regulations. There are any number of actions the EFL might wish to take, but it can only ever act in accordance with those Regulations.

"While Leyton Orient may have been relegated to the National League, the EFl will continue to do everything it can to ensure that the future of the Club is secured." 

Orient staff released a statement last week, but are still yet to hear anything from the club's board of directors stating they were 'met with a wall of silence.'

Orient were relegated from the Football League on Saturday for the first time in 112-years following as 3-0 loss at Crewe Alexandra.

But loyal backroom staff are still yet to find out what their situation is from the Italian. 

The PFA stepped in last month and loaned half of the player's wages but so far nothing has been done to help the backroom team.

Orient were served a winding-up petition last month from HMRC over an unpaid tax bill believed to be around £125,000 to £250,000. 

Becchetti has paid this bill but other creditors have taken over the petition and they are due at High Court on June 12 after being granted a stay of execution.

They are due their next wages on Friday, April 29 and when asked by the Guardian Series Chief Operating Officer Vito Miceli had no comment as to when they staff would be paid. 

The statement in full reads: "Further to our previous statement dated April 19 where we appealed to the club’s board of directors, we have been met with a wall of silence.

"Chief Operating Officer Vito Miceli had no answers to questions posed by a Waltham Forest Guardian journalist following Saturday’s fixture in which the club’s relegation was confirmed.

"We are now on the 24th day of the month and are yet to receive a payment of wages for March, with April due in only four days’ time. We are extremely concerned about the ongoing situation given the effect of non-payment of mortgages and rent are already resulting in staff having to relocate.

"Due to this, we appeal to the English Football League (EFL) and the Football Association to intervene on our behalf as the regulatory bodies in the sport and demand substantive answers from the club’s board.

"It was previously reported that the EFL met with directors of the club in March where the club’s plans until the end of the season were outlined and financial reassurances were given. Having failed to have these plans communicated to us as staff, or even see evidence of such plans during the intervening weeks, it reinforces our grave concern regarding the financial stability of the club or its ability to pay outstanding debts.

"With two weeks of the season left before we fall out of the remit of the EFL, we call on you to act immediately and without delay on our behalf.

"With the growing mismanagement of football clubs, in general, we feel your intervention is essential in order to safeguard ourselves, as well as other clubs who may find themselves in a similar situation in the future."

In response to the above statement, a spokesperson from the FA told BBC London Sport: "Reports that club staff have not been paid are very concerning.

"We have been in contact with the EFL and the club. We are aware the EFL has had discussions with the club with a view to resolving the matter."
