Leyton Orient chief executive Alessandro Angelieri has revealed owner Francesco Becchetti will consider offers to sell the club.

Two weeks ago, the East London Guardian Series reported Becchetti was ready to sell the O's. 

The club statement also stated Becchetti did not like the fan protests that occured back in November, stating their displeasure at the Italian's ownership.

And in a stange ending to the statement, Angelieri said if the O's are relegated to the National League, they would continue with their policy to promote the young talent they have at E10.

It also hit out at players such as Jordan Bowery and Jay Simpson while defending Becchetti's reign. 

Angelieri said: “The actions of the club over the past two and a half years have always been in good faith and that can never be doubted.

"A squad without future was inherited, and has been completely renewed with it today including a number of talents aged between 17 and 24. 
  
"Mr Becchetti did not like the fan protests because at the beginning of the season everyone, supporters included, praised the club for their summer transfer business.  Thereafter Mr Becchetti doesn’t play on Saturday. 

"I think that within common sense, Mr Becchetti will continue to fund the club, though appropriate offers for the club will be considered. One offer has been received, but it was not acceptable for a number of reasons. 

"In regards to player departures, since last February Jay Simpson had scored six goals, and from last summer he had been trying to leave the club. Andy Edwards rightly decided to leave him out of the squad because of his lack of commitment to Leyton Orient. 

"Jordan Bowery’s contribution during the first half of the season was imperceptible, so his departure can be considered neutral, while Alan Dunne was out of the plans under both Andy Hessenthaler and Andy Edwards. 

"In terms of funds available, it’s not the club that has to give guarantees to Andy Edwards, but vice versa.

"Andy can count on prospects who he has helped nurture like Sam Sargeant, Aron Pollock, Sandro Semedo, Myles Judd, Sam Dalby and Tristan Abrahams who has scored 20 goals for the youth team this season, as well as great young talents like Paul McCallum and Gavin Massey who are players with fantastic qualities, and have a massive desire that was lacking from players in the past like Darius Henderson, Jobi McAnuff and Jordan Bowery. 

"I think that my absence due to ill health could have had some negative effect, but I believe even further that the absence of Mr Becchetti during the last three months has had a more negative impact on the squad.

"His personal business did not allow him to be close to the team, when he would usually come to the training ground every Friday and to the games on a Saturday.

"Mr Becchetti has a great charisma and the players definitely feel his absence. 

"We are fully confident that we will remain in the Football League come the end of the season but if relegation was to unfortunately happen we will keep our current policy in place of promoting and showing faith in young players." 

Edwards is the ninth boss to take charge at Brisbane Road since Becchetti bought the club from Barry Hearn in 2014.
