Quote: In EnemyTerritory "I think one of the directors on your board has cleared things up. It looks like he had indeed signed a two year deal but had approached the club about being released a few weeks back so I don't think there is anything to worry about from your end Gary. He also states that they did this with the intention of signing an adequate replacement. No mention of a transfer fee being paid which is the only thing I would see as being out of place.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Richard Fletcher announced up there shortly as he is currently without a club. A terrific player if you can keep him on the pitch. There have also been a few rumours about Mike Ostick?? A good young forward but these were only very slight rumours.'"
I thought that the director had said Allen had took the contract with him but it was unsigned. It appears Barrow were under the impression that it would be signed, but it never was so thats the reason why no fee was involved. I think some Barrow fans were a bit pi$$ed because the club had announced that he had already signed - which was untrue.
