Former Fulham, Wycombe and Northern Ireland boss brought in to help Barnet

Laurie Sanchez: Brought in to help Giuliano Grazioli at Barnet

51-year-old Laurie Sanchez certainly has plenty of experience and will assist caretaker manager Giuliano Grazioli in the Bees' last four matches of the season.

It didn't work for Tilly last season with David Webb, then again we expect Laurie will actually turn up at Underhill!

Barnet chairman Tony Kleanthous told www.barnetfc.com: "We are fighting all the way and doing what we can to preserve our League status and Lawie Sanchez provides top quality help."

The Bees though and in deep trouble after losing to Bury 2-0 on Saturday, and still remain three points from safety but with twelve still on offer.

Sanchez explained his decison: "I've come in to help Giuliano, who is a football acquaintance, with the big task of helping Barnet off the bottom rungs of League Two."

Fair enough, better than sitting at home watching Jeremy Kyle, possibily, and certainly the London born caretaker with the Italian name is grateful to have a shoulder to lean on.

Grazioli added: "This is an opportunity for me to learn from someone with experience at Premiership and international level. He has so much to give and there is a lot I can learn. We've got a job to do and three weeks to get it done."

Former Barnet striker Grazioli was given his chance to take charge last week following Martin 'I have to pay the bills' Allen's shock departure to Notts County, where Mad Dog may still have to fight off a legal challenge from the Bees supremo Kleanthous.

Allen buggers off, again:
