As I recall, McMenemy was annoyed about not going up as champs well into the next season, so I doubt that result came from the management. The players however could well be a different story. There was an episode of Channon and Ball where Mick talked about a Coventry game late in the season. Saints were mid table and Coventry needed points to stay up. Channon said that half the Saints team were playing (For cash) for Coventry that day. I was disappointed to hear it then, and still saddened to recall it today.
