Barnet have re-appointed ex-boss Martin Allen as their manager until the end of the season.
Paul Fairclough had been acting manager after the dismissal of Mark Stimson earlier in the year.
But the Bees sit in the relegation zone and may need to win six of their last eight games to escape the drop.
Chairman Tony Kleanthous called it 'the last throw of the dice'.
Barnet went down 1-0 at Aldershot last night and host leaders Chesterfield this Saturday.
Allen was in charge of Barnet when they were in the Conference, but left to join Brentford.
