Good

[Happy Fox]

There are some decent managers out there in Clark, Grayson etc whether County can attract them or not is another matter.

[J.Lisemore]

Not sure whether Grayson or Clark would be interested due to a lack of funds, only guessing though.

It seems an odd one sacking Allen but possibly they want to get into a playoff positions so have decided to sack the manager now in the hope of salvaging their season.

[RonnieTodger]

It said "relieved of his duties" on their official website. Maybe he wanted the Huddersfield job?

[Guest shearfox]

It seemed like he was doing a decent job, are County good enough for the playoffs?

[Tielemans63]

Maybe they've realised that, though he has some talent, he is more trouble than he's worth.

[Corky]

They go through plenty of managers there.

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

Surprised but they arent going down.

No, simple enough..they started off well but are sliding down the table now, theres only a slim chance they'll make it depending on how Stevenage/Bournemouth/Carlisle carry on the rest of the season

They overachieved in the first few months. Most Notts fans I know would have taken a mid-table spot at the start of the season.

I wouldn't be surprised if Allen's departure was due to off-field issues. it's been a regular feature of his managerial career, including his brief time at the Way.

[Mack]

I agree that this sacking probably came about because of Allen's eccentric ways.

I would doubt their chances of employing anyone any better, but maybe they just want someone easier to work with.
