BFC Confirm Martin Allen's Departure
<img src="https://griffinpark.org/images/MA-Blackpool.jpg" hspace="5" align="left" alt="Martin Allen reflects on the draw against Blackpool">The club has confirmed today that Martin Allen will not be managing the team next season and that the search for his successor has began. It is also understood that both Adrian Whitbread and Damien Doyle have also left the club when their contracts expired at the end of last month.
Martin is currently on holiday in Dubai and has said that he has nothing lined-up and is recharging his batteries having seemingly missed-out on the Tranmere vacancy, or having decided it's too much to relocate him and his family.
Martin Allen is still under contract to the club and should he be appointed elsewhere Brentford FC will be seeking compensation in return.
The full statement reads:
"While Martin Allen is still under contract to Brentford Football Club he has now made it clear to us that he does not wish to be the manager for next season. After prolonged discussions with Martin we have accepted this position and put in place a search for a new manager.
"If other clubs seek our permission to talk to Martin about a managerial position we are prepared to agree to this so long as Brentford Football Club receives the appropriate compensation if he is appointed."
