Rattie Ratnamara

Former Celtic player, Dundee United manager, current York City chief executive and convicted fare dodger Jackie "Ratnamara" McNamara oversaw his third successive relegation of a football team today, as York City FC exited the English National League today.

With the second lowest win tally in the league, McNamara's team were clinging on to slim hopes of staying up this season but it looked to all be going their way until the final minutes. York were holding Forest Green to a draw, and relegation rivals were losing at home to Solihul Moors. However that all changed in the 90th minute as Guiseley scored an equaliser thanks to some questionable goalkeeping. Knowing that his team now had to win, McNamara had to check a dictionary to define the word "win", but sadly once he had finished laughing at the word "willy" the game had already ended, York City doomed to relegation.

For anyone wanting a gauge for the standard of the National League, Forest Green who helped relegate York City and finished 3rd in the league were playing former Dundee United flop Keanu Marsh-Brown at left-back. Keanu's only appearance at Tannadice was a 10 minute spell against Inverness Caledonian Thistle, where he looked to be struggling with the concept of what a football is. He then (allegedly) stole items from the changing room and was promptly sent back to Fulham.

How does he get the jobs ?

He was one of the favourites for the Celtic job 3 summers ago.

Shows how hard it is to get these appointments right.

When I think back to just over 2 years ago the team we had gubbing everyone bar Celtic and St J.
Feels like we entered some kind of black hole and are in a 4th dimension of football, getting outplayed by Bumfarton and Sacknamara getting relegated by a team that sounds like a heritage site!

It was the same thing with Levein's and his pals a few years ago. Back in summer 2010 Craig Levein had just been appointed Scotland boss, Peter Houston had won the Scottish Cup and had United playing fantastic football and John McGlynn was impressing everybody at Raith Rovers.

Fast forward to February 2013 and Levein had been sacked by Scotland after an embarrassing failure, Houston had been sacked by United after a sub-Brewster run of form and McGlynn had been sacked after cementing himself as Hearts' second worst ever manager.

Funny how football changes.
