Francis Vines.....

[Goodfella]

......Has parted company with Crawley.

Mullery for manager anyone?

 

[Brighton till i die]

i thought he was loved down there?

 

[Dez]

very harsh. Football is certainly a cut throat business!

 

[fatboy]

 

[Brighton till i die]

sacked? no f***ing way?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Rumours are mounting that CLaridge is in line for the job as manager

could well be. Struggling at the bottom of the league, lost to Braintree in the FA Cup and under new ownership. Even so, harsh in the extreme.

Not a chance

 

[Dez]

Not a chance

I bloody hope not. George Burley is available though!

 

[The Keeper]

Mullery will become boss

 

[Bluejuice]

This was obvious from the start.

They employed Mullery then couldn't even come up with a job title for him knowing full well he'd have his eye on the manager's job.

It is still somewhat shocking however considering Vines is held in similar regard by Crawley fans as Adams is to us Albion fans.

Still, football is a fickle game and they've had a terrible start to the season

Don't think it will be Mullery. He's committed to Sky on Champions League Tuesdays and would be earning more through that than he'd get managing the club.

Andy Hessenthaler's name is being banned about by several people.

That would be a good catch

Agreed- he did a good job at the Gills for a few years and may have the experience necessary to get them up the table. In time, I don't see why Crawley couldn't play in League 2.

I don't really see them as that much of a threat to the Albions fan base but perhaps they could be if they got into the league. What do others think?

 

[Juan Albion]

More like a threat to Palarse's fan.

Thing is Crawleys practically bang in the middle of Croydon, and Brighton. North of Crawley its mostly Palarse, and south mostly Brighton, I think they may get more fans if they get into the football league, and possibly pull a few people from the surrounding villages and towns, (eg Horley, Salfords, Copthorne, etc). But I still think the towns mostly going to be Chelsea, Arsenal etc, its going to take a miricle to turn the town into mostly Crawley.
