"I think it was important we brought this type of quality to the football club. We have
been through a transitional period, and we have worked very hard at bringing so many players here,
but the icing on the cake had to be done."

Of course the writing has been on the wall (or in this case within the forums) for a week now after
Allsopp failed to not only take the field against Newcastle but wasn't even present at the game.
