Daily Echo | Allen says he should have been given more time

Quotes from Martin Allen's Mail Online column regarding his departure from Eastleigh:

“Getting sacked, as I did at Eastleigh last month, is always upsetting and disappointing.

“My life was non-stop telephone calls with agents, the club secretary, finance director, chairman, assistant manager, senior players, physio and local media - then all of a sudden with one conversation at Newbury Services it all just ceases.

“It feels weird, but it is something I'm getting used to now. The results were not good enough, as the results were not good enough for the previous manager or the previous manager before him.

“Eastleigh is a good club with lots of good people and a very patient, loyal fan-base. It's just a shame I did not get more time to build my own team to get it ready to challenge next season. But hey-ho, the chairman makes the decisions and I have left on good terms.”

Sacked Eastleigh boss says he should have had more time

SACKED boss Martin Allen believes he should have been given more time to build a side at Eastleigh. The 51-year-old oversaw just two wins - one in the league and one in the FA Cup - in a dismal three-month stint at the Silverlake.
