Martin Allen - Poll

[Naughty Fox]

i will support him if made manager-but he aint been yet, just like warnock was going to be manager last week etc etc

To be fair it is quite easy to miss the official statement posted on the OS :icon_wink :icon_lol:

Personally would have preferred Warnock.
I voted so I gotta post why apparently.
Don't care that he's had a problem with LCFC in the past, it's just that, the past. I think his record is good and has experience of this league and he would light a fire up all the boys' asses, which they definitely need.
Just wish we could for once get someone who's "up there" rather than "down there"!

Martin Allen isn't my first choice, but I trust Mandaric - he will choose the best man for the job.

Martin Allen's Blue and White Army (at least that's how it's looking!)

both pissed me off so i wouldnt want any of them

 

[Muzzy's Right Boot]

There have been better names bandied about in the past week. I would have preferred quite a few of them.

Sit on the fence why don't you!!

To be honest i don't care whos boss or what style they play as long as we start to win football matches. If we all have neck ache next May from watching long ball but we're in the play offs i couldn't care less!!

Mad Dog clap clap clap, Mad Dog clap clap clap!

NO. Having watch MK last season the football is crap. But not only that, how many times will it take the board to realise, stop getting "up and coming managers" and stick with someone with experience who has achieved.

Thats why i voted no

All Warnock did was get annoyed because something LCFC did adversly affected HIS football club.
Wise adversly affected HIS football club all by himself! Slightly different.

Can't fault a manager for being passionate enough about his club to get annoyed with another. The fact that he wants the LCFC job shows that he's over that now and I would welcome a bit of that passion he had for Sheff Utd being transferred to LCFC. Passion in a manager is something that we have lacked for a few years now.

Agree with that...

it didnt effect his football club one bit, the one thing that affected his football club was his innability to out perform a club who had no money.

thats his short fall im affraid, and just adds to the times where he blames everyone else instead of himself being incapable to achieve.



And unlike jeff, i will not make my decisions based on a few brentford fans who i dont even know, and most probably are a bit jealous of Martin going places. I will reserve my views on the man untill i see him myself.

There is no effective 'board'. LCFC is now Milan's personal plaything. He and he alone chooses the manager, and quite possibly some of the players given that it is Allen rather than Warnock or Coleman or other experienced Champ/Prem managers.

We have to trust him that he chooses wisely or realises his mistake early on and replaces him if he does not think he is doing the job properly.

I have seen his team play, and I didn't like what I saw.

And the views of the Brentford fans weren't because he was 'going places', he'd resigned and hadn't got another club at the time of those quotes, and ended up dropping a division, hardly something for them to be jealous about.

But still, its impossible to say my views on the guy are because of what these brentford fans say, which is what you did when you linked this thread to that post. Imagine where we would be if we only employed managers and made massive decisions on the views of a couple of opposition fans, it's a crazy way to judge a manager.

It was more than a couple of Brentford fans, I posted comments from 12 in that post, and could have posted more.
And views of fans can be more revealing than just looking at stats and listening to people in the game who have their own vested interests.

but that would mean you are expecting ma or any other manager to do exactly the same thing at every club they go to, which wont happen.

I've voted against. I think that we are getting Martin Allen because neither Coleman or Warnock wanted it.

Let us hope Martin Allen is a huge success but I think the odds are against it.
For one thing, I don't see any obvious signs that we are talking about bringing in players of the potential to change our fortunes. Early days yet and I realise that....but it doesn't look to me like MM is going to try do anything dramatic and I think there would be a problem about better quality players signing up with Martin Allen,

So if you think he's going to change his style, how do you know he'll be any good at a new style?

Some of the criticisms from the Brentford fans were related to not having the ability to change his game plan, and his motivational effects wearing off after a while, which makes it sound like he could be a good manager for a year or so, but not long term.
