"Getting out last year was a massive achievement," he said, "but as well as we did, Lincoln won none of their last 11 games. That's as much why we stayed up - by a point. This season is in our own hands.
"Teams like Northampton, Bradford, Plymouth, should not be in this position. The finances they've had over the years, to be down here is a nonsense. Macclesfield, Dagenham, Hereford and ourselves - we're the four teams with the lowest wages in the division. There's the correlation, much as chairmen don't want to know it. It'll be a dogfight until the last day."
Whichever clubs are relegated, the loss of income will hit hard. Whilst there will be a first year payment of around £225,000, they still stand to be £440,000 worse off and that's before gate recepts and the like are taken into account. Clubs also can lose some youth funding.
Next season Barnet celebrate their 125th anniversary and Sanchez is hopeful they will still be in League Two.
"It would be 'poignant' to celebrate it as a League club.
"Look at those who've gone down: Lincoln last season, Wrexham, Grimsby, Luton - there'll be half a dozen teams in the Conference bigger than Barnet - and they've found it hard to get back up. They haven't. And it hits year on year.
"Barnet would survive relegation, the chairman is quite shrewd and the club would cut their cloth accordingly. But I've been in relegation battles when I went into Fulham and Wycombe, and here, and one thing I'd say is that it's easier to stay up than to go down and come back. That's proven by teams I've just mentioned.
"I've never been relegated as a manager, I had it once as a young player at Reading. It's a stain that you do not want. Nobody benefits."
