"Leyton Orient has recovered from, and become stronger for, the adversity it suffered a decade ago and now it is in a position where I hope I can help to maintain the upward trajectory that has been in place under Nigel's (Travis, chairman) stewardship. “I don't intend on being too hands on with the day-to-day running of the club. Nigel, CEO Mark Devlin and his staff have done an incredible job on the business side and I have full confidence in them to keep us progressing. Our aim is to become a (second-tier) Championship club." Gandler is set to attend Orient's last home league fixture of the season against Wycombe on Saturday.
