SANCH REVIEWS 2000/2001
(Tuesday 12th June 2001)
Lawrie Sanchez - picture Paul DennisLawrie Sanchez has admitted that he wouldn't have traded in the FA Cup Semi-Final appearance for a play-off place. Writing in the Walsall v Reading Second Division play-off programme 'Sanch' said "Reaching the FA Cup semi-finals has put us on the map as well as generating about £1 million extra revenue"

The Wycombe boss also revealed that it wasn't until the threat of relegation had been quashed that he could bring himself actually watch a recording of the semi-final with Liverpool.

Sanchez reviewed the 2000/2001 season and paid tribute to Rotherham boss Ronnie Moore for taking The Millers to promotion to Division One. "You have to remember that there are big clubs in this division - Millwall, Wigan, Stoke, Reading, Bristol City - to appreciate just what a brilliant job he's done with Rotherham" Walsall's Ray Graydon and Bournemouth's Sean O'Driscoll were also singled out by the Wycombe Manager, who knows what it's like to work with a minimal budget.

However, Sanchez always saw Millwall as Champions elect because "they had the perfect mix of good youngsters and older professionals". The Wycombe boss even went as far to say that he thought that The Lions would have been promoted even without the change of Manager. "If Mark McGhee is to take credit for their achievement, it is that he has rested his hands gently on the reins and just kept things ticking over"

It's a managerial style that Sanchez has used during his time at Wycombe and he also saw it happen during his playing days with Wimbledon when Bobby Gould took over from Dave Bassett. However, with eight players shown the door at Adams Park in the summer, Wycombe are set for the biggest player shake up in years.

Sanchez said he had "high hopes" for Wycombe next season but concluded his review by saying that he expects Bristol City to feature strongly as well. "Danny Wilson has had a year to get a feel of the division. He has had to move a lot of the older players out and his youngsters show a lot of potential"
