Micky Ruddle Posted 9 September 2007 Posted 9 September 2007 Wouldn't 'There's Only One Martin Allen' be better? Sing that twice as loud as we did against Watford .....it still wouldn't change his mind regardless.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 9 September 2007 Posted 9 September 2007 I'm going to wind a lot of people up now by telling you all that I had a conversation last night with someone with strong connections with the club, and gave me a brief and credible insight into what had gone on with Allen. I'm going to upset you all even more by not divulging any details (although in all honesty it's not that interesting) although I think it's fair to say that the chances of Allen coming back are zero. Mandaric's admission that the appointment of Allen was a mistake pretty much sums the situation up. I liked what I saw of him, but the reality of it was that it was never going to work out, and in the fullness of time I think Mandaric will be vindicated for acting sooner rather than later

Brainy Posted 9 September 2007 Posted 9 September 2007 No but im sure Martin Allen would off. The Cov fans are laughing at the prospect of Peter Reid becoming our manager. There'll tell you how crap he is. Why do we care what other fans think? If Mandaric thinks hes the man for the job, good.
Micky Ruddle Posted 9 September 2007 Posted 9 September 2007 Why do we care what other fans think? If Mandaric thinks hes the man for the job, good. He thought that about Allen too.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 9 September 2007 Posted 9 September 2007 Go on, give us a hint. There's not really that much to it - nothing particularly juicy or dramatic. I wasn't made aware of any straw breaking the camel's back (that's not to say there wasn't one), but it sounds like the set up didn't really work from the off and it would only be a matter of time before the situation became untenable, so although I was pretty gutted when the news originally broke, now I think the parting of the ways at that point was the right thing to happen. There's two sides to every story, of course, and what I got was very much the club's line, but I had no reason to question it. Let's just hope the next appointment is a bit more successful
blueoveru Posted 9 September 2007 Posted 9 September 2007 A lot of these managers out of work ......are there,cos they aint good enough.......... so if Mandaric is courting Reid/Heath then god help us, for a start he's been out of the game too long,and can only be a Mandaric puppet at best. The worst do'es not bear thinking about.

Bellend Sebastian Posted 9 September 2007 Posted 9 September 2007 Ah but there was and it happened just before the Watford game! Do we know that, or was it just that things were coming to a head that day, and Mandaric delayed taking action until something happened later in the week? It's all conjecture innit, I think it may well have been pretty much over by that point anyway
dandannieldanok Posted 9 September 2007 Posted 9 September 2007 Worthington In. Even Liechtenstein can beat Latvia.
MC Prussian Posted 9 September 2007 Posted 9 September 2007 Martin has gone and won't be coming back. Some people on here need to get over it Imagine that: I know Mandaric won't bring him back. But the fans still have the freedom to voice their own opinion, regardless of the result.
Hullfox Posted 9 September 2007 Posted 9 September 2007 Martin has gone and won't be coming back. Some people on here need to get over it Did you tell the Pompey fans that about Harry too?

Out of the rumour that favours Martin Allen and the rumour that favours Milan Mandaric, I think I find the rumour favouring Allen more believable. Maybe the third may sway it and make one of the other rumours more believable?!

Matt Posted 9 September 2007 Posted 9 September 2007 A poll to determine which rumour is the most believable is what we need! Correct! But we need the third rumour first I think
Bellend Sebastian Posted 9 September 2007 Posted 9 September 2007 So if there's not really much too it, tell us what you've been told, what happened, e.t.c I really can't, because I get a fair amount of pretty good information from time to time on stuff that I could never post, and wouldn't want to risk not being a party to in the future by shooting my mouth off about it in public. I've not posted here to be mysterious, just to add a bit of weight to the argument that people shouldn't bother clamouring for the reinstatement of Martin Allen, because it isn't going to happen and that it's a waste of effort. And as I said before, it's not really that exciting anyway
DB11 Posted 9 September 2007 Posted 9 September 2007 Correct! But we need the third rumour first I think Is my signature rumour (although I trust it to be fact...) one of the 2? If it isn't, it can be the third
