The trouble with Dean Saunders as a manager has been that he did reasonably well in every job, began to deteriorate and hit a tailspin from which he has never once recovered. The stats he achieves depend on how quick you sack him. Certainly the team he passed on to Danny did not look totally incapable on paper. I don't think anyone would argue that though Danny appeared to have the right aims, like in signing Liddle he looked to have found just the kind of player we needed till we saw him, his playing legacy to GC was certainly no better than he had started with himself. However, the demolition derby really started with GC's new young broom approach which resulted in the destruction of what little we had and its replacement with nothing.

Now we have once again won the race to the bottom, perhaps someone will alert Mr Allen to the truth behind Dancing's assessment. Unless we can find ways to off-load some of our higher-paid players, bring in cheaper, potentially successful players anxious to climb the pyramid and develop our own young players properly ....... there are several clubs in the National League likely to overpower us both on and off the field. If Macclesfield and Boreham Wood for example were the two promoted teams this season, that would leave a division populated by several potential EFL clubs with very real ambitions to get there ahead of us. And once you fail to get back, getting back and even retaining Vanarama status gets steadily harder.
