Paul Raynor

I note from the teamsheet that CRawley Ass(!) Manager Paul Raynor was named as the sub keeper last night.
This raises a few questions, the first of which being "how short of players are they if they need to name that big ageing lump on the bench?"
Secondly, given that i) his touchline antics have traditionally been as unwelcome and unpleasant as those of his boss*, and ii) with him being the main 'voice' on the touchline while Mr Evans serves his ban, it is not unthinkable that he may too land himself a touchline ban in the near future for some sort of unsavoury behaviour.
My question is "Would that preclude him from being named as a player or sub during the period of the ban despite not having an on-field suspension in place? "
* - I have never forgiven him for deliberately posiitoning himself on the touchline such that Chris Hackett had to pull out of making an upfield clearance for fear of clattering into the bar steward and breaking his leg.
