ALLEN SACKED - CONFIRMED

[Ric Flair]

My worry with all this anti-MM feeling which I'm sensing as well is that he turns on the fans for being ungrateful. It's difficult to balance the pressure of wanting Martin Allen back (or someone better) with a fear of losing MM...he doesn't have much time for people who don't agree with him. Remember what we did to MON during his early days with us and he never forgave city fans for that.

I think MM is going to need to bring in someone exciting and give a proper justification for the sacking to appease the fans a bit on this.

I wouldn't worry. He rode the storm at Pompey when Redknapp fooked off.

I doubt many of our fans will kick up much of a fuss here, by the time our next home game comes around we'll have a new manager. If that new manager is a crowd pleaser, then sadly, Martin Allen will be a distant memory and the chants of ' MILAN IS A LEICESTER FAN ' will the loud and clear once again.

[Lillehamring]

Which you may or may not have noticed, worked out so splendidly the first time he was at Portsmouth, in terms of him getting on with the Chairman, and staying in his job.

exactly, the point being that, despite what a lot of whingers on here are crying about, MM doesn't necessarily want a 'yes man'. the most successful manager he's hired, redknapp, stood up to him, yes he got sacked, but he was allowed back, and i suspect on his own terms.

equally he hired allen, not a yes man, so why should are next manager be...

that's right, i'm on a dispel the 'yes man theory' mission

absolutely right...

If as othesr have said Milan's target for the season has changed then maybe Allen was not right. He would be good for a 3-year plan but not instant success. Allen has little (as far as I know) experience and knowledge of top flight players so he was bringing in players that could play in the Championship for one or two seasons then bringing better players at a later date. What Mandaric now wants it seems is instant success. Even with the transfer window being close the team may be good enough to be in contention for when it opens again. This will give the new manager time to access the current players and bring in some better quality ones for the final push. Allen was needed to clear out the dross and set up a good atmosphere and passion in the dressing room. This appears to have been done and the new manager will have little work to do other than have discussions with MM over the next 3 months about what top class players can be tempted to come to Leicester.

My contacts have advised as part of the team building they all played 'eat the soggy biscuit' at half time. Milan was unwittinglly invited into the game by Martin Allen, not knowing of the game rules and the impending ending of he who eats the soggy oat based snack. With Milan being his age and it being a mass effort to get a boner, he was left furiously masturbating over an already saturated digestive. His face was all red and he looked up to see the others laughing at him. This was the final straw.

I knew I should have stook to de-caff!!

I actually cant belive it. Im completley gutted,possibly the best manager weve had since MON and i belived he could have took us on to good things. Just cant belive it.

How do you come to the conclusion that MA is the best manager since MON, he aint done anything other than reproduce the same crap football as last season and the one before.

[DanTheFoxBhoy]

Have to say I didn't like the appointment of Allen in the first place he has never done anything at a decent level. I would have prefered someone who had managed at a higher level. Having said that the way he's been treated is poor to say the least. But he'll be compensated well, lets move on.

Milan had many options from the start and chose himself to go with MA, looking over many other experienced candidates like Chris Coleman.

[Mr Happy]

I have to admit that I'm completely discussed by recent events. MA's come to us (somewhat against the odds), raised the fitness levels of players, worked them hard through pre-season and finally just got city off the mark and looking good. Then hes sacked! All the statements say 'mutual consent' but we all know thats really just complete b****cks. Its most likely that MA lost his job because: a) he made the ultimate mistake in answering MM back, who just wants a 'yes man' somebody who does what he wants, when he wants it or b) he didn't sign Hasslebaink, not that we need another useless striker IMO.

I dont know if this has already been said in this thread (its now too long for me to scroll through) but MM had the ideal chance to get the new leicester era off to a brilliant start by employing the right manager at the very start of a new season. So much for that eh? MA, given time, could of took us back to the premiership I feel plus we have to remember that this is the highest level of football that hes managed at thus far! Over the past couple of seasons we've been poor - exceptionally so - so would it hurt to have a little more patience and let the gaffer get on with his job lets just hope that, every time we go on an average run of results, the ego maniac doesn't let the axe fall because otherwise the river soar will be running red with the blood of fallen managers.

Have you been to any games this season? BTW the statement of being the best manager since MON isnt as far fetched a statement as it seems, especially when you consider the crap that has come through since MON.

You are a vvanker who clearly hasn't seen the team play this year, so just fvck off

Maybe you need to turn your radio up...

The pressure will be off MM by the next home game . Probably a new manager plus a "big namesigning" like Danny Murphy

[Head Honcho]

That's my boy. Someone who isn't going to let a few expletives get in the way of a good story

Although not totally agreeing with the poster you have verbally raped. He wasn't that far off the mark was he?

Half the board seemed satisfied with our performances and the other half were indifferent-much like the past few seasons!

That signing has to be completed by the end of tommorow though, I cant see it myself!

It would be more likely now if MM wants it - no fooking manager to "get in the way" now is there!

[Chrysalis]

I think people are thinking too highly of allen to say he is the next MON after just 4 games is wrong and he is been judged on his passion. He isnt scared to play attacking football which I liked but we all dont know the full story. Some stuff has been going on behind the scenes MM wants a feel good factor at the club and there is truth in what people are saying about staff been scared of allen. Did allen cause clarkes health scare? we will probably never know but the timing of the sacking suggests there may be a relation to it. At the end of the day it is better for MM to get rid if the appointment isnt right and move on quickly rather then hang on to something he doesnt want, I am pissed off like just about everyone here as it would have been nice to see how allen would do after the watford game but we need to move on now and look to the future. Future manager I wouldnt mind jewell or warnock but dont want megson or roeder.

Taken from another forum:

Interesting post from the BBC message board thingy:

This is a subject which i can speak about from more of an insiders view than most, Im not a Leicester fan, nor do i live anywhere near Leicester but i am good friends with some of the staff, players at the club. And firstly can i say how magnificent your ground and facilities at the training ground are. I understand most of the comments about Allen being lively and promising etc... which he is. but what people who arent that close to the club wont know is that he upset a lot of people in many different ways from day one and sometimes if not all the time, the club is bigger than the man. for example... as you may be aware Leicester Youth Academy were crowned FA Academy League Champions last year beating the likes of Arsenal etc.... so they have argueably the best youth setup in England. I am a believer of if it isnt broke dont fix it. Allen wanted to revamp the whole structure of this, the chairman didnt (why would he, they're very successful) Also, he installed things at the training ground that people didnt agree with. Leicester City is more than just a football team, it is a business and a community provider and Allen wanted to interfere with this also, the chairman wanted it to stay the same, again because it is working well. the main factor in all of this is the fact that the players didnt like the manager, his ways or his ethos, the chairman realised this and acted on it. I personally think the chairman has done the right thing, nothing against Martin Allen but i feel that his ethos wasnt right to take a club like Leicester Forward.

Just my opinion, but thought i should share it.

Thought it was an interesting read, and back up things i have heard too.

Dear Milan,

I understand there is a temporary manager's position at Leicester City Football Club available. I have reasonable football knowledge and am very good at saying yes. I go back to university in October but I understand that the position is never filled for that long anyway.

Regards,

Ross

[Daggers]

So, tara then Martin

You'd only just got startin'

I do wish that we could have had a bit of stability for a while, but that wasn't to be. It seems obvious that there was more than meets the eye going on here, like Transformers only without the ability for Milan to become a helicopter.

[Steve09]

One of my parents friends was talking to Martin Allen around 2 weeks ago, he asked him if he had sorted a house in Leicester yet and Martin Allen replied...

I haven't sold my house in London yet because I don't know how long this is going to last (Words to that effect)
