From www.bbc.co.uk/football:

Orient deal for Ling
Leyton Orient caretaker boss Martin Ling will remain in charge at Brisbane Road until Christmas.

<span style='color:blue'>Chairman Barry Hearn had been expected to name a new manager on Monday, but has delayed a decision after some promising results under Ling.

&quot;I&#39;m delighted that I have been offered the job for another couple of months to prove that I have the credentials to do the job,&quot; said Ling.

&quot;I have another two months to prove to everyone that I am up to the task.&quot;

Hearn made the announcement after Saturday&#39;s poor 1-1 draw with Northampton.

&quot;I was in a quandry about the decision, it would have helped if I had seen a better game against Northampton,&quot; Hearn told BBC London.

&quot;But, I looked back over the six games that Martin Ling has been involved in and I have to judge over those six games, three wins, two draws and one defeat is promotion form at our level, that&#39;s not bad.&quot;

He added: &quot;Although I wasn&#39;t convinced enough to offer him a long term deal, I was convinced enough to offer him the chance to show me what he can do up until Christmas.&quot;

Ling took over at the club following the departure of Paul Brush in September.</span>
 
I would just like to point out that Martin Ling was never a &quot;former Shrimpers boss&quot; ...
