League Two Class:Nobody has a clue!
Fishy Verdict:Downey has the easiest job in the world. Gets paid to be a professional footballer, yet never plays, and never kicks a ball in anger. Was rewarded for 14 minutes play last season with a new one year contract this time round. Is he any good? He must be, or he's got the photos of Russell Slade's stag night.
