Gone to Cheltenham on a months loan- Reckon Allen will have them firing up the league in no time

Yep i agree

the same fleetwood who got released by Hereford a few years back.....

we've got better strikers. Cheltenham are going no where.

Bart in positive post shock!

Oh wait, it's about another club.................

They will be above us within a couple of weeks.

Fleetwood is a decent striker at this level- just shows when you have a decent manager you can attract decent players

oooh you was doing so well

He just can't help himself................

I couldn't believe Fleetwood went to Charlton to be honest. He's no better than L1.

Do not see anyone disagreeing though. With some decent signings and Allen joining they will be mid table in no time

I do actuallyagree with that.

i agree that with bart about allen turning them around.i'm pretty sure he will do a good job there

the same Stuart Fleetwood who has played a whole 0 games and scored 0 goals at this level. Fucking brilliant, I wish we'd signed him instead of Simon Cox....

I disagree. You cannot polish a turd.

They won't achieve anything and will finish below us.

So how long will it be before the ego that is Allen falls out with one or two (or more) of his players. 

The best he can hope to do is keep them up.

I'd rather have Paynter than Fleetwood...

I disagree

Fleetwood is shit and his reputation is purely built on one purple patch in the conference.

Allen has achieved nothing in his managerial career and has been sacked or walked out from every job hes had

Cheltenham WILL get relegated

I'm still betting on them getting beat by Stockport tomorrow.

Wow mid table??? imagine that - oooh hold on we ARE mid table!!

Am I too gather then Bart you would actually like to see Allen at Swindon?  If so the mind boggles more so than usual.  He's the last person I'd want as a manager...

Well, exactly. Allen will inject enough energy (and fear) to save Cheltenham from the drop this season. And on that basis will be praised (and fair enough). But he'll see that as a springboard for a better job and if something doesn't come up that he can move onto next season, he'll start to get frustrated at his failure to "move the side on a level", the feeling will be mutual, it'll all end in tears. He's a good "kick some arses to keep you up" manager at this level, but not an appointment you make for long term stability and building measured progression which is what we're trying to achieve.

allen did a good job at mkdonalds and brentford in my opinion.also what manager doesn't either have aspirations to move up? gets sacked? or leaves eventually?
you could count on one hand the managers that never leave.and that is only due to being succesfull and not being able to top what they are doing

Martin Allen's & Cheltenham's luck will run out... Allen was supposed to get Franchise up, he failed. He also buckled at Brentford. But he essentially didn't achieve the goals expected of him.

I remember him scoring a perfectly good goal against us  - or are we not at this level? I'm confused.

Wasn't that in the FA Cup with a Non-League team though?

You're right - so that wouldn't count, because it wasn't at this level.
It only counts if he makes us look stupid and slow playing for a league club.

We won though :)

is that not true of every manager in the world who has managed more than one team?

Fleetwood - overrated and overhyped.

Allen - I said it all before. I think he'll do well for them but is a grade A cunt who will leave at the next better opportunity (much like all managers).

He's put half the squad up for transfer and brought in a few inexperienced players in on loan. Morale must be high amongst the squad.

really?

No, he meant the exact opposite...

Like you said, Fleetwood will do things for them... In fact he's just scored!

The short-term answer to Cheltenham prayers has signed on loan for Brighton after 2 goals in 7. No better scoring ratio than Cox, Paynter or Easton.

He may get more in a slightly better team, we shall see.

Fleetwood scored once and Cheltenham have lost their last 4

bang on the money as always Bart

I was hoping he'd go to Macclesfield......

Fucking hell DV how bored were you last night?

DV u need a girlfriend and a job, way too much free time on your hands

Least of my worries at the moment.

Really couldnt sleep last night and it shows!

 I've heard rumours that's his next move..

he can go his own way

As long as he dosen't team up with Sam Fox
