Notts County betalar Barnet

Det var en aning kaotiskt i våras kring Martin Allen, Notts County och Barnet. Allen hade ritat på ett korttidskontrakt med Barnet FC och skulle leda laget under 8 matcher. Det blev dock bara 3 innan han värvades av Notts County, under inte helt legala former.

 

Barnet anmälde the Magpies och nu har klubbarna kommit överens om en lämplig kompensation. Barnets ordförande Tony Kleanthous:

 

"I am pleased that we were able to resolve things amicably with Notts County without the need to have charges brought by the football authorities and Barnet FC have accepted Notts County's explanation that they made an error by directly approaching Martin Allen in the first instance."

 

Notts Countys Jim Rodwell kommenterar också till barnetfc.com:

 

"It became clear shortly after we appointed Martin that Barnet were unhappy with the manner that the appointment came about and we have maintained a constant dialogue with them ever since", he said.

 

"I am now happy to say that we have reached an agreement that is acceptable to both clubs and we can now move on and look to the future. I would like to thank Barnet for their co-operation in this matter and to wish them well for the season ahead."
