pcbear 10,913 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 The foundations have been excavated and poured , the bricks are now up to dpc level, the groundwork is now completed so if we are to replace him the job is much easier now than when he was first employed, a good head start for the new person.

Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Good luck to him. He seems to have done a pretty decent job during a period of high turnover of players. We seem to be in a better place on the park and in terms of recruitment. He also played a significant role in bringing in Gerrard. That said I'm sure we'll survive without him and i'm sure he can be replaced if we continue down that route. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a DOF I honestly fear for the future. Horse for courses. A good coach may like someone else to pick players. Another one may want control of recruits to achieve a goal they have.

philiprfc 1,799 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 The statement reads like he's moving on elsewhere but maybe that's how they want it to read. Regardless, I think we are structurally far better off than before he arrived, and that obviously remains in place. Not sure how much hand he had in our signings but that record isn't the best.

We are going off on the same old debate about DOF picking the signings and the manager has no say. Which didn’t happen at Rangers and won’t going forward.

Maybe i'm being naive, maybe i've missed it. However, by and large most people acknowledged Allen played a role in bringing in Gerrard and was doing a decent job. Now he's gone suddenly the narrative changes. It happens quite often. I could be wrong, it's not even important. I'm certainly neither pro or against Allen. I doubt he's perfect and certainly if there is truth in the Beale bust up, then obviously that wouldn't have been wise. Fuck knows though. You never really get the full truth in these cases.
