I must say that at this very long range Dancing's description of the Allen era seems to fit. My fear is he might eventually out-Oyston Oyston. We wouldn't have had the good things that happened without him and his money, but when you examine all our downs they also seem to be the result of decisions deliberately made by the club.
And someone always carries the can whose name isn't Allen.
For instance, it is simply incomprehensible that a man with Danny's football experience would want to be in charge of a club with no scouting system ........ he's managed a thousand games for several clubs, if that was his approach he wouldn't have managed twenty with one club would he?
My deepest fear is that it is very hard to see how the Allens could escape Chesterfield a few million richer IF the club is still to be alive and in the EFL after his departure. Allen is the whole story and appropriately the key. If we beat Port Vale 2-1 tomorrow, start a winning run and Gary Caldwell is set to hit the ground running next season that WILL BECOME irrelevant if Mr Allen decides it is ......... The Ernie Moss Way could for us, like him, be a journey into silence.
The only bright spot I can find is that Gary Caldwell took on the Wigan job when it was impossible and failed to save them from relegation from the Championship. With the club's ambition and money behind them he got them up first go. He's repeated the first part with us, taken a job in which he was set up to fail. If/when he fails the second part of his examination next season it won't be adequate simply to blame the manager. Maybe then we'll see the light.
