Delighted for AFC Wimbledon, but would have preferred D&G down rather than Barnet. Still feel unclean every time I think of being at the cup game over there a few years back. Just a horrible place!
Do have sympathy for the Barnet fans. But Barnet are traditionally a non league team, their gates were not that high, indicating that if they balanced the books (they may/ may not have done) their budget would be lower than a lot of other clubs in the division, therefore there is a certain inevitability about their relegation.
Mark Robson managed zero wins and three draws in the 11 games he managed Barnet alone. I suspect even he would acknowledge that that is a poor record. Many Chairman would look to make a change in that situation. With Davids involvement Barnet accrued 48 points from 35 games, had Davids been involved from the start it can be assumed Barnet would be safe.

Thought Dagenham would draw and go down. Ended up losing and staying up. Barnet couldn't beat a team with nothing to play for.
Delighted for AFC Wimbledon though - would hate to see their journey regress after the incredible things they've accomplished.
It wasn't the fans who got rid of Mark Robson and parachuted Edgar Davids in.
That said they've flirted with the trapdoor for several seasons, often recruiting Martin Allen for a short term fire fighting job to save themselves.
