Sheer inaction at the club Matt. We never really threatened to get anywhere. But then it seemed he had to start with a whole bunch of free transfers every season to be fair to him.
We were fourth division. It was very hard to lose your league status at that time as the other clubs voted you out ...... which they were unwilling to do as next season they could be the ones struggling. You could just settle for being a poor team that was going nowhere. AND managers tended to last longer in those days. I imagine (can't remember) that McShane was a bright and rather affable man. His son was the year below me at Grammar School and he had no interest whatsoever in sport!
