Amazed to be honest

Thank God. I care about Cheltenham. They are my local team and he has been an absolute disaster.

Poor bloke. Used to train under him at his soccer schools when he was at Reading, really nice guy. This false allegation has but stain on his CV and I honestly think he'll never get a job at Professional level after this.

Agree, will be hard to come back from this at a professional level, cleared or not.

Even forgetting the allegations against him, his tenure at Cheltenham was pretty woeful to be honest.

Martin Allen > Brendan Rodgers > Dean Austin.

And I quite like Martin Allen. Although I don't hugely rate him. Cheltenham will be back in the Conference soon enough as they thoroughly deserve to be.

.........and sometimes you just wish for a Mad Dog character to turn up to shake some life into our current (slow and reverse geared) regime


He WILL return to league management ...... as sure as moths are attracted to light bulbs ..... club owners are attracted to MA

....as an uneducated guess, ...................he will take a team like Barnet to the 1980's Wimbledon heights, before doing a mooney on live TV and getting a well deserved sacking

The FL needs more Martin Allens

[AthleticoSpizz]

better still

lets hope that he pops-up as a REFEREE

now that would be a ref worth watching

Short shelf life in whatever club he's been at. Bit of a tosser in my opinion.

and you are welcome to your opinion obviously

His clubs since Reading have been relatively bountiful for a to55er

Martin has his heart in the right place wherever he's been, just sometimes his brain isn't

2 years max at a club is all he can get away with before his methods are exposed.

Short term impact can be very positive but players eventually lose respect for him. (Well, that's what happened at Reading anyway.)

There was a lot more than just one incident.

This was the only club in Chelt he was still allowed in!!
