Insane: Martin Allen Takes over at Notts County
After just a few weeks at Barnet
This is Nottingham
Magpies appoint Allen as new boss
NOTTS County have today appointed Martin Allen as their new manager a one-year rolling contract.
Allen has been in charge of Barnet on a non-contract basis and has agreed to take over at Meadow Lane with immediate effect.
The Magpies are currently in the relegation zone in League One with only seven games left.
Notts chairman Ray Trew said: "Having been at Dagenham on Saturday, it was clear that action had to be taken sooner rather than later to address our current situation.

"I would like to thank Carl Heggs for stepping in at an incredibly difficult time and giving his all to the role of caretaker manager, but when the opportunity to sign Martin became available we had to act quickly.
"Martin knows what it means to be successful at this level and he has been brought in with both short-term and long-term aims, the most obvious of which is to secure our League One survival this season.
"However, I must reiterate that this is not a short-term fix. I see Martin as the man to make this position his own and to bring some much-needed stability back to the Notts County backroom team."
Alex Rae has left his position as assistant manager and David Farrell has left his role as first-team coach

Notts County are delighted to announce the appointment of Martin Allen as the club's new manager, having signed a one-year rolling contract at Meadow Lane.
Allen, who has been in charge of Barnet on a non-contract basis recently, brings a reputation for rejuvenating sides that have been struggling, having done so at both Brentford and MK Dons during an impressive managerial career.
The former West Ham and QPR midfielder's first managerial role came at Barnet, where he built a side that would go on to reach the Play-Offs after his departure to Brentford towards the end of the 2003/04 season.
At Brentford Allen built a side that twice reached the League 1 Play-Offs and twice reached the Fifth Round of the FA Cup during an impressive two-year stay at Griffin Park.
A season with MK Dons saw Allen take a side that had recently been relegated to League 2 and lead them to the play-offs in his first season, building the base of a side that would go on to enjoy success in the following years.
Notts Chairman Ray Trew was delighted to have secured Allen's services, saying: "Having been at Dagenham on Saturday, it was clear that action had to be taken sooner rather than later to address our current situation.
"I would like to thank Carl Heggs for stepping in at an incredibly difficult time and giving his all to the role of Caretaker Manager, but when the opportunity to sign Martin became available, we had to act quickly.
"Martin knows what it means to be successful at this level and he has been brought in with both short-term and long-term aims, the most obvious of which is to secure our League 1 survival this season," he added.
"However, I must reiterate that this is not a short-term fix, I see Martin as the man to make this position his own and to bring some much-needed stability back to the Notts County backroom team."
The club can also confirm that Assistant Manager Alex Rae and First Team Coach David Farrell have been relieved of their duties at Meadow Lane and Notts would like to thank both men for their hard work over the past few months and wish them both well for the future.
