looks to me like an excuse to sack him without a payoff

Accused of racially absusing a bouncer.....

[Zammo]

That's his life in professional football over, surely. He confessed on 5Live that Leicester are legally bound not to give the reason for his departure from the Walkers Stadium. Coupled with this nightclub abuse story, who would give him a job now ?

[Deadlock]

Did we ever find out why he got sacked from Reading? Was it the thing with a player's wife, or was that just a rumour?

Mr Allen hit the headlines for the wrong reasons when he was barred from The Salisbury.

'Mad Dog', as he has been nicknamed by football fans, allegedly danced on the stage with his shirt off before dropping his trousers and parading towards the dancefloor in front of pub-goers during a drunken night out

[Smoking Kills Dancing Doe]

He'd been banned the week before from the other nightclub for getting his nob out. A whopper no doubt.

Was going to another after game on friday, big que, try to jump it, bouncers said no, he says don't you know who I am, bouncer still don't care, calls him a oxf*rd nigger.

Sounds like a decent couple of nights....

Look at picture 9 - it's the CCTV from the nightclub. The date on the picture : 20/9. The club have sat on this until they needed to use it.

The guy always was, and always will be, a bit of a tool. A joke in the RFC dressing room after the novelty had worn off.

You remember, don't you Spacey?

[Badger Finger]

Thirteen Degrees is an utter hovel as well...

Bad Bad Mad Dog...

Agreed. Hate him. Useless manager and a waste of space. Hope Cheltenham get rid before he takes them back down into non-league football.

[Dirk Gently]

It's always the same with him. Ranting, raving and management by fear will only work for so long.

Not nececssarily, if he'd been singing "Father Abraham" with his mates and they'd got to the risque verses, he'd have been duty bound to drop his trousers.

I can recall Waingels Old Boys FC making it as far as "skins back" in the Bull & Chequers before being asked to desist.
