Davefevs Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Newly appointed Chesterfield (relegated to Conference) boss Martin Allen looks like he is combining his management duties with the role of media man too. https://www.chesterfield-fc.co.uk/news/2018/may/20180522-third-deal-today-completed/ The Michael Nelson one is fantastic!

It’s light-hearted but at least it’s getting communication to the fans. And probably getting more exposure than a standard press release would.

If that’s the same Nelson that played for Hartlepool back in the early 00s then by god we missed out on him.

Always rated him. Now at Yeovil - on his way to Chesterfield sometime in the future? Allen is a top bloke and true character - among many other things chucking his tie on the pitch at Brentford and bog-snorkelling to raise money for Charity!

EmissionImpossible Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I assume these messages are tongue in cheek......but then again I’m not sure Martin Allen is that funny......I’m in a pickle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I met Martin Allen in Soweto, South Africa during the 2010 World Cup. We hung out and then I played for the England Fans team against a team of local South Africans coached by him. Was a really nice guy, strangely Fatboy Slim was also there and we all went on a tour of Soweto including the pitches and a micro brewery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 And he has a ‘for sale’ advert too, under the title ‘Striker available to transfer’ https://www.chesterfield-fc.co.uk/news/2018/may/20180522-striker-available-for-transfer/ Can you imagine anything like that here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Met MA, and his wife, at an Oxford vs Rushden play off semi final a few years back. Just milling around having a pint with the fans before the game Had a good 10 min chat with him, absolute top bloke and his wife was a good laugh too Always keep an eye on what he's up to, he certainly changed my perception of him that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devoncider Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Great bit of marketing/PR. If only City had someone that could do that - maybe some regular fun notifications for goals scored for example. oh well I'm sure 'the company' have someone in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coach Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 If I recall, it was between Martin Allen, and Gary Johnson for the City job. Gary got the job a day or two before just before playing away to Martin Allen’s Brentford. Won 3-2 just... Luke Wilkshire took one of the worst penalties that I have witnessed.
