In all my life I have never heard comments such as that from a manager announcing a SIGNING - not a departure. All good and well saying that to his face, but to the press?? Absolutely mental. "Aye up mate - welcome to club. Just so you know, I think you're f**king sh** and your attitude stinks. You'll be on the bench at most and, at the end of the season, we'll be bombing you out without a second thought. Even if our other striker was fit, you're not good enough - but thankfully for you, he's injured so we've literally no choice whatsoever but to bring you in. Cheers." All bravado aside; you gotta wonder if he's feeling the pressure with a statement like that.

That is it...yes, unless he obviously proves himself so he can earn a longer stay there. It is obviously Allen's motivational technique and in all fairness it's not as if the bloke has a bad managerial record so I won't be arguing with his style of management too much. What one promotion in a managerial career spanning almost 12 years? I know who I'd rather have out of DC and MA Plus DC isn't the kind of dick that would leave an 8 game contract after 3 games because a league club came calling. He's said he wants to rectify our relegation and that's worth a lot.

Thatchersgas - surely too good to be too true?? If so they're f**ked - a one man team if ever there was one.
And given that Gash is exactly that according to MA you'd have to "worry for them".

On a slightly different tangent, can you imagine how p!ssed we'd all be now if Gash had signed for us and our manager had made those comments??
We've said before (especially with JW) that most of his signings were panic signings who clearly weren't better than what we had and/or didn't feature.
For a side 6 points (effectively 7) clear at the top this smacks of desperation. Me thinks Mr Allen is starting to feel the heat a little bit.

I've seen it doing the rounds on social media, and not the usual wishful thinking stuff either, but whether or not there's any truth in it I don't know?
Makes sense as Peterborough have been looking at him for a while now.

Speaking of Akinde a journalist with close ties to Chester seems to think he could be off to Swindon. He said Gash was signed as a replacement (Allen's comments in the press really don't back that up though). Gash was thought to be on Chester's radar. Personally think it's a load of rubbish.

There are also a couple of tweets saying that Swindon have bid £100k that was rejected.

Speaking about his latest addition, head coach Martin Allen said: "He has got an attitude, there is no doubt about it, and I do not think it is always a good one. "He has got four months with us, that is it. I explained to him I needed cover for my two centre-forwards and the other one is injured. "I told him straight exactly what his position would be - it would be sub." Allen continued: "He had to understand and accept that and he has. He trained with us for two days because I wanted to make sure he could do the work that our players do." If anybody thinks I've made that up, I have not. www.times-series.co.uk/sport/11720472.Barnet_sign_Gash_on_short_term_deal/Good God. He's either cracked early or is a horrible man manager. "Welcome to Barnet Michael! You have absolutely nothing to earn by being here. Also I think you're a twat and will be using you as little as possible. Work hard now!" maybe it's reverse psychology. You know, like when you favourite a post even though really you think it's total sh**e (i am genuinely joking)
