Sorry chaps, have to defend Martin Allen here - what he has said is actually true-ish, historically they have been in a higher league than us, their stadium is bigger, fan base larger. Much as I hate the 'we're a big club' crap, I don't think he has said anything detrimental about us. And personally, much as I'm behind the current management, if we had a chance to have MA here, I'd bite somebody's arm off to make it happen. He is a real motivational, passionate type of manager who makes the most of limited resources and although he comes out with the occasional controversial statement, I'd rather have that type of man in charge than when we had a certain Mr Buckle blaming the fans for not making enough noise when we lost. Bit of grit, bit of fighting talk, I wish him well...just wish he wasn't at such an arse of a club
