Last updated : 23 December 2009 By Daniel Elwes

The League Two club have suspended Allen as they look into claims he racially abused a bouncer after being refused entry to a nightclub.

Schofield spent time on the backroom staff at Glanford Park during the 2007/08 season having been sacked as Lincoln City manager.

He joined Cheltenham as assistant to Allen last season, signing a two-year contract extension in the summer.
