If you were totally unbiased you would acknowledge that he refused to spend money we didn't have. When he took over we were getting 22,000 attendances with a 28,000 break even figure, and he managed to get that figure down to what our attendances actually were. I remember the first AGM when he was introduced as a board member, and him receiving warm applause when he said, if he'd been on the board at the time we would never have waisted money on the likes of Phil Scott, Simon Donnelly, Phil O'Donnell and the other invalids who were bleeding the club dry. I remember the dogs abuse he got on here on a daily basis, not from the odd poster but from scores of members of the forum, and I remember all the innuendo about his discretion and his honesty. His communication skills were sadly lacking, so he retaliated by petty name calling, just as he'd been subjected to, and then decided he'd taken enough abuse and tried to sue people. I think his major crime was, he decided to run a tight ship, and wouldn't cowtow to those fans of ours who wanted him to spend money the club didn't have. That and his rude, blunt attitude made it very easy for the fans to take a major dislike to him. I know people who work for him who say, if you do your job properly he's the best boss you could wish to have, but mess him about, and you're out of the door as quick as.

Hi, Dave.

 

When are you going to reopen Josephine's? 

I move a lot of concrete on the QVC.

If he went hopefully he would sort that  badman out on the training pitch so he never uses his balls again.

 

Spelling police

Gonna get another warning can see it coming.

Why will he? He loves this club and has a massive role to play off the field if not on it.

He's only 31 and being a footballer is a short career.

 

He should move on and play regular football IMO, being a glorified cheerleader when he is still in good nick physically would be ridiculous.

Not always mate, it depends on the individual. Some players will play on for as long as they can, ending up in non league football, before they hang up their boots. For others, they might prefer to go out at the top ( relatively speaking) and the opportunity to be part of a promotion to the top flight, might be more appealing. It depends on what motivates you, he is obviously very happy here, and maybe content with a role that will see him get less playing time. Who knows, he might have ambitions to go into coaching/management, and may see Carlos as a good person to learn from. I wouldn't see it as a lack of ambition on his part, if he chose to remain here, though of course, we don't yet know if he will.

The only way he should be kept on is if he hangs up his boots as he isn't at the level required to play any part in the coming season. He will stay, he well and truly knows where his bread is buttered

Yet spent how much on Jeffers and suing our own fans?

Same people who slate Dave Allen probably voted to leave the Euro

 

The same people who will stand there in astonishment when bills like food and petrol go up.

People want to see the bad in Allen which I can understand as he was a PR disaster 

 

But let's not forget who was dipping his hand in his pocket for loan signings, cos it weren't any of the other directors
