    That’s the one.

    Kenny Jackett has managed Watford, Swansea, Millwall, Wolves, Rotherham, and is now at Portsmouth.
    John Ward managed York, Bristol Rovers, Bristol City, Cheltenham Town, Carlisle, and finally Colchester United.
    Ron Saunders managed Oxford, Norwich, Manchester City, Villa, Birmingham, and finally, West Brom.

    No ex-Watford player has managed more clubs than these three.

    Over to you (or NZ - I don’t know what the etiquette is for more than one person answering ;)).

    A quickie until NZ notices. What is the lowest ranked team on the football pyramid ever to get to the third round stage of the FA Cup ?

    Goes back about 10 years this one. Taking a scholarly approach helps.

    Nope, not a University team Fez, though they did start life as a school team and are now known as the Scholars. I think to get this a bit of running around is necessary !

    Potters Bar meet the nickname and starting as a school old boys team clues. They have only got to the 4th qualifying round of the FA Cup however on three occasions

    That's the one NZ. They reached the third round in 2008/9 season knocking out Port Vale before going out to Cardiff. At the time they had just been promoted to the Southern League, and so were at level 8 of the football pyramid. Over to you.

    Which fourth tier Spanish football team made international news in the middle of last year but not, in the opinion of their owner, global news?

    That is correct, Yorkie. There is a clue in the question but if it helps this lot look down on Santa Ana winning at the Alamo.

    No. As Fez says, the answer is utterly ridiculous and as you point out, Yorkie, it concerns a team in the Tercera Division. I was trying to help you with the region.

    Is it Gerard Pique's FC Andorra paying about half a million euros to be promoted?

    In the Tercera division 7 (Madrid area) there are 2 teams called El Alamo and Santa Ana and the latter won 2-0 at the former last year. So is there some connection to General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna retaking the Alamo ? I can't find anything unusual about the match other than this.

    You are making it too complicated, Cologne. Santa Ana and El Alamo were clues to get group 7 of the Tercera division. You have found that. The team you need is "looking down" on Santa Ana and El Alamo. The original question provides the clue that tells you which team it is.
