Allegations of racism against Martin Allen being the reason he has been put on gardening leave!

What on Earth is a man of his age doing trying to blag his way into nightclubs? Stay home and watch Strictly or the X Factor like the rest of us you fool.

There are two sides to every story, but this doesn't look good for him, and he has history of miss behaving in night clubs.

Sad read indeed. Sometimes people in, not only in football but all walks of life, just haven't a clue when it comes to behaving in a normal civilised manner.

Probably will be the excuse for Cheltenham to get rid of him without any compensation. Will find hard to get a half decent job in football now.

I didn't think it was that long ago that he got married.

not nice if true but what has it got to do with the football club? surely he should only be suspended if the police are investigating?

Talksport beckons to join forces with Collymore, Quinn, Brazil etc. They seem to like a ex player with a history.

I find it difficult to believe but if he's on a slippery slope in work & personal life then maybe it was another MA in action that comes out under proper stress. It could also be an exagerration of what actually happened that allows Cheltenham to rid them of their manager without comp.
