Daggers Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/topstories/2...89520-19707462/ Heroic Allen is sackedMandaric sacks boss Allen 18 hrs after he saves life of defender Clarke in dressing room. Exclusive by James Nursey 30/08/2007 Ruthless Leicester owner Milan Mandaric sacked Martin Allen yesterday just hours after the manager helped save the life of Clive Clarke by giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Allen, only appointed the Foxes boss in late May, was one of the first on the scene when Clarke, 27, collapsed after a heart attack at half-time in Tuesday night's Carling Cup tie at Nottingham Forest. Allen attempted mouth-to-mouth to revive Clarke after the defender lost consciousness in the dressing room. Allen, 42, said: "I'm fine. But a lad nearly died on Tuesday night and 24 hours later I've been told to leave. "It is very strange after four games, two wins, one draw and one defeat but I can't say any more for legal reasons."

Dubliner Clarke, on loan from Sunderland, is now in a stable condition at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre undergoing further tests. But Allen's brave role in the terrifying drama has not spared him from the axe following a series of rows with Mandaric. The colourful chairman, who took control in February after selling his Portsmouth stake for £25m, fired Allen yesterday morning before visiting Clarke in the afternoon. Ex-Brentford and Barnet boss Allen, who has brought in 14 players this summer at Leicester, was last night coming to terms with an astonishing series of events. Leicester, who are ninth in the Championship, were losing 1-0 at Forest on Tuesday before the match was abandoned and have put academy manager Jon Rudkin, coach Steve Beaglehole and goalkeeping guru Mike Stowell in charge for Saturday's game at Plymouth. Chelsea reserve team coach Brendan Rodgers is the surprise name in the frame with Gary Megson and Neil Warnock also on the list of candidates. Mandaric is now looking for his fourth manager in six months at Leicester after releasing a statement about Allen's exit saying there was a "difference of visions". Allen's final result was a 4-1 home win over Watford on Saturday when Clarke played 90 minutes. And Mandaric is hoping the defender makes a full recovery after claiming Clarke was yesterday talking with staff and family. "It is encouraging news that he is stabilising and has sat up and spoke and is quite comfortable and resting," revealed Mandaric after visiting the player yesterday. "While everybody at the club was hit by the sadness caused by such a tragic incident, we have now been lifted by the remarkable progress Clive has made over the last 24 hours.

Daggers Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 He is fighting the Mirror over the term "sacked", that's it. They will need MA to stand up in court and say he was - which he will not do - so the Mirror will end up giving Mandy an out of court settlement.

Finnegan Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 Really? So everything in that article is fact?Well, is it? Other than the word 'sacked' (manwell already went back and noted that) probably no more or less than any other tabloid drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syston_fox Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 If you have a copy of todays Mirror then it has an artcile by Kisnorbo explaining what happened in the changing rooms. Very interesting Leicester defender Patrick Kisnorbo revealed how team-mates feared Clive Clarke would not survive after he collapsed and stopped breathing in the dressing room. A shaken Kisnorbo was sitting next to Clarke when he suffered a halftime heart attack during the Carling Cup tie at Nottingham Forest. "He just stopped breathing, there was no pulse and then he turned white," said Kisnorbo. "We didn't think he was going to recover. "It's something you see on TV but don't expect to happen in real life right in front of your eyes. "I hope I never see anything like it ever again. "Myself and Darren Kenton, who was also sitting alongside him, tried to prop him up. At first we thought he'd fainted but it quickly became obvious it was much more serious." Clarke is in a stable condition in Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre. "Moments after he hit the floor, our physio Dave Rennie rushed in and called for a defibrillator," added Kisnorbo. "First he tried mouth-to-mouth but he still had no pulse, it was a scary moment for all of us. "All I could think of at that moment was his family, and how they would eel if he didn't make it."

Chimp Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 Oh, apart from that. Other than the word 'sacked' (manwell already went back and noted that) probably no more or less than any other tabloid drivel. Um, yeah, and the fact that it was Dave Rennie who gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, not Martin Allen. The Mirror make MA out to be a 'hero' based on an outright lie and 'sacking' this 'hero' reflects badly on the club... hence the legal action.

breadandcheese Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 Um, yeah, and the fact that it was Dave Rennie who gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, not Martin Allen. I think it is the making out of Allen as the hero, giving mouth-to-mouth that is the element Milan will be suing for, not the issue of calling it a "sacking". It is probably more likely that the Mirror will issue a little apology/retraction somewehere in the classified section and there you go finished.

Don't think it's to do with the "sacked" part, as I can't see how that is defamatory. I would have thought it was more to do with calling Mandaric "ruthless" and the general tone of the article potentailly being damaging to Mandaric's reputation.
