Allen’s assistant was hospitalised before Tuesday’s game with Aldershot with bleeding on the brain.
After Saturday’s 1-0 win over Braintree the boss spoke about a tough week and says he is now in the best place possible - being taken care of by his wife!
“A very important member of staff who is very close to all our players, being rushed into hospital just before that Aldershot game, it’s had a massive cloud over the dressing room,” he said in his post match press conference.
“Until we got the good news it has deflated a nice, big, bright balloon. It’s taken us all back big time. It’s been hard for me and the players.”
“He’s staying at the Mad Dog mansion and getting well looked after there.
“He’ll have quite a lot of time now with my wife and me and we’re going to look after him.
“I do love Bill Shankly and all his sentiments but there’s a lot more important things than football.”
