The FA are looking into the fact that the son of Chestefield's secretary stuck £20 on Martin Allen at 25/1  to be next Chesterfield manager, the day after Barnet had beaten them on the last day of the season.

From the outside Martin Allen appears to manage like a tyrant and that's why he's always a short term fix, and never creates sustainable change.
He'll be off relatively quickly, the only question for Chesterfield is whether he does the business for them first.

That's among the worst interviews I've ever seen. I'm not sure if MA was just setting his stall out for the season, holds a grudge agaonst the media, took an instant dislike to the reporter asking the question but he was so over the top in his disdain for being questioned it beggered belief.surely he would want to endear himself to his new clubs fans but he seemed far from interested in being here.

I get he's a short-term impact manager or firefighter but not convinced by his long-term prospects. If he's like that now how is he going to be ith the players or media when things aren't going so well.

The questions weren't great but there was no need to be that abrupt with him. Bang out of order in my opinion.

I don't think I have seen a worse interview with a new incoming manager. I thought he was totally ignorant and if I was a Chesterfield supporter I would be very concerned.
