Looks like he swapping relegated clubs as he's 1/2 to be named new Chesterfield manager.

A bit of a strange move I'd say as the way Barnet finished the season, you'd have thought he'd have wanted to stay on and try and carry that into the new season.

He never stays at Barnet though does he? Think he's been manager 5 or 6 times there. Does well, other teams take him on and he doesn't do so well. Then it's back to Barnet, rinse and repeat.

Lives somewhere around the London area, most of his teams he's managed have been in the South.  3 hour each way to Chesterfield, guess it depends if he wants to uproot?
Quoted from The Guardian: Martin Allen
“Because it’s Barnet, I don’t have to move house. I’ve moved all over and disrupted my family life, and unless it was something quite unbelievable I wouldn’t really want to [do that again]".

Didn’t the Barnet chairman describe their relationship as love/hate? Allen is no fool, he knows the expectations would be enormous after his near miracle but  the budget is minute if he stays at Barnet. I wouldn’t be too surprised to see him move but Chesterfield would have to make it worth his while.

Well, he's left Barnet.

Quoted Text


Good Afternoon to all Barnet supporters,

A short while ago I had a meeting with the Chairman to let him know that I would not be continuing to manage his and your club.

It’s been an amazing, unforgettable 8 weeks with all the players and the positive energy and the enthusiasm from all the supporters has been quite overwhelming and I can’t thank you enough.

The Chairman has offered me a fantastic contract, offered to increase the budget and had done everything he could and no blame what so ever can be put his way. For me, it was 8 weeks and I am happy but of course underneath I’m bitterly disappointed and still very upset that we were unable to retain our position in the Football League.

I really do hope Barnet Football Club can now grow with these players plus the addition of Johnson, Tarpey and Vilhete and you can all be proud to be Barnet supporters.

Take care,
Martin

He'll be back there in a years time. Ridiculous merry go round.

3 points. He'd not last long enough to get 2 games against his side.
