davieG Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 According to the Merc Allen's arrival has been treated positively and the next thing the fans are keeping an eye on is new signings. Allen already has several in mind but their arrival may have to wait until next week because the new boss is on a family holiday booked long before the move to City. But he will be working hard right up until the beginning of July, when the players return to training, to give himself the best chance of success.
Simi Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 Selfish git ! I'm sure he will still be sorting some things out while he is there.
Mort Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 Boring!!! ...not to mention a little unnerving considering the range of players we're getting linked to, Hendrie, DeZeeuw, Eastwood etc... one moment the next the likes of Cort, Best get throw into the mix
Thracian Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 Holiday? I thought the bloke was supposed to be a fanatic about success!
lookwhaticando Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 You'll get over it. If he'd been with us since January, he'd still probably have gone on his holiday. It just wouldn't upset as many people, what with the season having ended and all that. It only grates because he's only been here a couple of days. This was the ideal time to book - he hoped to get promoted, and planned for MK Dons to be in the play-off finals... his holiday was booked for two days after the play-off final. Expect a repeat performance next season.
Father Ted Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 Do we wait for Martin Allen to come back and risk missing out on some players or do we just let Milan do the business ???
Steven Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 Holiday? I thought the bloke was supposed to be a fanatic about success! Exactly where is the commitment? :dunno:
MBK Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 Exactly where is the commitment? :dunno: Family comes before a big dedicated push. Don't be stupid. Seriously football has its proper place in life. Bet you won't hear him going on holiday in easter.
holly Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 hmmm this angers me ever so slightly, although anything will anger me now coz derby are back in the bloody prem
JoeyB Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 Do we wait for Martin Allen to come back and risk missing out on some players or do we just let Milan do the business??? He'll probably tell Milan the players he wants and then get Milan to bid for them, then release press conferences when he gets back
Jay Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 from what I understand alot of offers were on the table and many were waiting to see who the new manager was before they commited themselves so we still may see some movement this week
Moreton Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 What are you all talking about? it says he booked it long before the move to city....and he wouldnt cancell it just now...andyway its only for a week or so!
Ajax Treesdown Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 Get real. As he said in his press conference about pressure, family commitments are so much more important than missing a week of pre-season. He is away for one week with his family................wow.......big deal!!!! What will be, will be.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 He doesn't really need to be here anyway. He'll give the thumbs up or thumbs down to Milan who will be signing some decent players. Either that or we'll sign a bunch of twats and I'll have pissed £350 up the wall.

lookwhaticando Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 yeah milan willprobably just ring him give him a name and allen will reply with yes or no Text message more like it. Arjan De Zeeuw. kool? Kool. cu 2moro
Mort Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 I think the critical word is "may"... to be honest, if the likes of Hendrie, DeZeeuw, Eastwood etc... are in the offing, then all it takes is a pretty quick phone call and it'll get sorted... just because you're on holiday it shouldnt mean you cant give a "yes" or "no" to negotiations. The key point will come when he's got a good idea concerning which players he wants rid of and which players he wants to keep and so where he really wants to strengthen or make up for deadwood being let loose.
Who ate all the pies? Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 I always remember seeing Peter Taylor on holiday in France and he told me that we were going to sign Ian Walker in a few days, proves it can be done on holiday!
Master Fox Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 I refuse to accept this statement. I think we will sign someone this week regardless whether MA is on holiday or not.

I dont think its a problem he has gone on holiday. i reckon him and milan would of talked extensively about transfer targets before he went, he will of nominated who he wants and milan will do the chasing. Milan has always been involved in the transfer side of things at pompey. Half hour update on the phone each morning and MA gets on with his holiday. simple. I hope.
Chairman of the Bored Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 I hear he has only gone to Skeggy so he can pop back if needs be.
Wezleylowski Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 I always remember seeing Peter Taylor on holiday in France and he told me that we were going to sign Ian Walker in a few days, proves it can be done on holiday! Why oh why did you not slay the demon?
filbertway Posted 28 May 2007 Posted 28 May 2007 Played Allen, he's a proper bloke and just having a family holiday putting the important things first, god it's not even June give him a break. I have every faith he will delever when the time comes .
