Just compare this to Jolley’s first interview and the difference is huge! Michael was attending games before hand, getting to know the club whereas Allen just rocked up for an hour interview.

Needlessly prickly with what were fairly gentle questions.

Yes and his antics on the touch line at BP made me wonder if he might have the odd screw loose. However the  reporter doing that interview wasn't  too great either.

My favourite 'Mad Dog' Allen story was that, when managing Cheltenham, he was refused entry into a nightclub in the town because he was pished. His response was to rip off his shirt in the street and offer the bouncer out for a fight! He was later cleared in response to a charge that he racially abused said bouncer as well.

Not really the actions of somebody who isn't a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

When asked "why are you the man to change Chesterfield's fortunes?", he floundered badly.  A simple question that should be expected.  He said "2 relegations is not good".  No sh it sherlock!

They do not call him  mad dog for nothing  

I liked the bit when asked if he had seen players ?

I only started 15 minutes ago I did not see any players in the press room  

He ia a bit mad but knows how to win the conference.

I expect Chesterfield to make a speedy revovery.

The thing about mad dog is he is mad,

Would I want him to be our manager ,  no way,

BUT

At conference level he is better than most so I expect them to do well.

Unless like a few have pointed out he will be gone before xmas,

If he stays Chesterfield will be in the play offs but I would not be surprised if he had gone back to London by August
