Martin Allen - The real reason he left

[Hammond Organ]

I didn't find them misleading at all, I thought it was C U N T I C L E S

Aren't they one of the islands that make up the Azores?

I got told he hit Clive Clarke just before he had a heart attack in the changing room at the forest match, wonder why he was looking so distraught when he came out with Colin Calderwood to announce the abandonment of the match?

I also heard that first team players such as Kisnorbo were unhappy at the way he did things around the training ground and his tactics etc and therefore he and other members of the team handed in transfer requests and therefore Milan was left with the option of MA or several key members of the first team, not a hard one IMO.

Could it be that he had just witnessed the near death of a man who was standing only yards away from him and who he was properly quite fond of?


No NO NO - that makes too much sense, I should have realised that he was infact upset because he had punched his lights out.


I am amazed you even considered posting that, let alone to actually go through with it.

Well im just repeating what my sources have told me, and there are reliable.

 

[Motown Fox]

Strange that. The rumours about Allen's job being insecure came out in the press before the Watford game

Agreed.

People should be mindful of posting allegations like that.

There is no evidence to support them and had there been any substance in them then I am sure that the matter would have surfaced through the press.

According to the mirror MA gave mouth to mouth to clive clark so he may have been trying to cover his trackers of this could be the final clue in the peeping tom shep incident?

No wonder he was sacked! Force feeding a member of the squad with second rate snack bars.

Do any sources state whether it was the Peanut or Chocolate tracker?

I've heard two of the stories referred to in this thread, ie that Allen had been snorting coke at the training ground <which would explain the confidentiality clause which supposedly protects Allen but NOT the fact that he wasn't fired INSTANTLY when he was found out> and that Allen punched Clarke <which would explain the bizarre timing of his dismissal within 24 hours of a player nearly dying>. Depending on who you speak to it's one or the other.

Milan added fuel when he said 'maybe one day you will find out', but if the chairman knows the real reason - and that reason is one of the above - why was Allen not simply fired? What did Mandaric have to gain from granting him a pay-off and a confidentiality clause for gross misconduct, no matter how small it might have been? And how come Allen was interviewed by Norwich if he's so notorious?

To me, it seems there has been some sort of smear campaign against Allen started from within the club. The coke accusation simply doesn't fit in with how ex-teammates described him, as a 'model pro' who made enemies at West Ham when he objected to the wayward behaviour of senior players.

The reason I'm re-raising this is simple - where did these stories come from? It seems especially relevant now bearing in mind what Holloway had to say about Allen's dismissal at the time, when he was unusually critical of Milan. I'd like to know what this magic info is, or is it just another example of people claiming they're in the know?

This is turning into the Princess Diana saga.

There are no conspiracy theories, it has happened, the sooner everyone accepts it the better.

 

[Foxes_fan]

Not true

 

[OldGit]

The only reason these stories keep circulating is that people keep repeating them.

You might want to edit your post a bit.

I am still interested TBH.

Well I agree personally, and I suspect that the majority of what people have said regarding Allen on here is rubbish. Certainly Ian Holloway didn't seem to think he was a cocaine addict when he wrote about his unjust dismissal a couple of months ago.

However it's a mystery to me why people choose to 'remove' posts - such as the previous one - which question the nature of the more senior posters, when some of these people are clearly too rude to engage in a serious discussion, but would prefer to make libellous and offensive allegations against people without being in the slightest interested in backing them up.

I'm not a 'chav from Foxestalk' or any of the other 'enemies' that the people on this forum refer to. I asked a question, can you answer it or not? But if you object to me articulately justifying my previous post and explaining why it's relevant, than this is clearly the most Orwellian forum I've ever come across.

I daresay you'll be cutting this too. At times I fear that Leicester fans deserve what they get in life - being, as a collective, unusually fickle and unintelligent for even football fans. Always more willing to tell each other to shut up than to actually make any noise.

Once again I will reiterate, however, that people would be well advised to steer clear from making these sorts of claims about people like Martin Allen unless they are willing to support them. And until the day we know exactly what happened and why, this will be a very valid topic for discussion.

I also suggest that some people look up the word 'forum'. It could be a useful exercise.
