Bio:
Martin was appointed as First Team Manager in April, 2011, shortly after the departure of former boss Paul Ince.

His initial aim was to lift the Magpies from the bottom-four and prevent the club from dropping down to League 2, just 12 months after gaining promotion as champions.

'Mad Dog', as he his known from his playing days, arrived with a reputation for rejuvenating sides that had been struggling, having done so at both Brentford and MK Dons during an impressive managerial career, and he did just that at Meadow Lane.

First halting an extended losing streak, he rebuilt the squad's morale and that fighting spirit enabled them to avoid the drop.

Prior to his arrival, he had previously been in charge of Barnet on a non-contract basis and had turned around their fortunes during his three games in charge.

The former West Ham and QPR midfielder's first managerial role also came at Underhill, 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, he 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.
