Allen Gone!!!

[Feriol]

Well I guess it depends on how much 'interference' you'd expect.

Sure i'd expect MM to keep a close eye on what Allen was doing on the training pitch etc, and when talknig about possible transfers to listen and offer his opinion on players.
But to tell a manager who should play and who shouldn't? To me, that is something ultimately the managers decides, not his coaching staff, not the kit man and certainly not the chairman.
The chairman isn't on the training pitch every day with the squad to determine who should be in the starting line up...isn't that what the manager and his coaching staff are paid to do?

Indeed. If thats the case MM Just wants a scapegoat, to take the flak.

it is, but MM has a history of going about things to try and get his team to be just that. at pompey he brought that useless lump in to help him control who harry picked IMO. MA can't complain too much about signings Milan has made as I belive DJ was one of his choices, not worth the pennies i think

 

[Stevie Lynex on the wing]

Well he's bound to have said it to family and friends hasn't he?

Obviously Barnwell meant the proper media people not paparazzi type peeps like me!

Would like to think so but didn't you say the guy asking the questions works for fox fm.

Thanks so much BF for posting that. Very, very interesting.

Brings back annoyance for me about the whole thing - I was just starting to accept everything that's gone on!

Sounds like a deal of truth, and only some spin.

Thanks for spilling it.

i dunno, he's a poacher - and scoring 2 in 2 starts isn't that bad

he has scored two goals from very close range i agree, but his inability to do anything with the ball in build up worries me. the ball just bounces back or he is too feckin slow to catch it

Well shall we try and guess who the four are?

Personally I think Fulop and Clarke, Clemence and DJ.

I also think DJ is a lazy barsteward but wasn't he at Brentford when Allen was there? Or am I thinking it completely wrong? Maybe having worked with him before-if he did!- made him think he could get his monies-worth.......

Hayes, not Clemence, you'd have thought.

Don't be silly, like I said, thanks SO much for posting it and sharing it with us. It's just hard to keep away those feelings of frustration at Mandaric when it's apparent that Allen never got a chance

Again, don't be sorry!

 

[beaumontfox]

Listening to how he spoke about Clemence it sounded as though he liked him as a player a lot....which is why I said him.....

I know what you mean, but we haven't had that player scoring goals from very close range recently, and a goal's a goal, from close range or not.

Thanks for saying it. I can't help but feel more than a little annoyed.

I guess money isn't everything.
