The supposed reason for Martin Allen being sacked from Leicester City by Mr Mandaric was because of a rift, or that in the words of MM, he didn't feel MA was the right man to lead Leicester in the direction he wanted them to go.
Well, this isn't true, MM terminated MA's contract because of MA's poor relationship with the players. All of the players felt that MA was treating them like 'schoolboys' on the training ground. Three first teamers at Leicester, including Patrick Kisnorbo, James Wesolowski and Gareth McAuley all handed in transfer requests to the club, because they disliked the treatment MA was giving them. MM terminated MA's contract because he knew that the club couldn't afford to lose key players like the 3 above.
The reason I know this information is because a family member owns a Director's box at the Walkers and got this information firsthand from Mr Mandaric.
I have since found out more about the Mattock thing apparantley he claimed he was unfit to play against Blackpool to the physio and MA, he was told he was playing, however checking back on the stats Mattock was substituted in the 68th minute and never played another game for city until WHEN? yes you guessed it, he was strsight back in the starting line up against Plymouth the very next match AFTER MA had left the club. Strange?
I think there is some truth in this.
