Many names have been linked with the role including Paul Tisdale, Nathan Rooney, David Artell and former boss Steve Evans.

This was shared on the Crawley Town FC Supporters Group on Facebook and Philip Veness replied: “Played for Woking and Fulham if I remember. Tipped to be a great player but never worked out for him. But he should have some decent contacts so not a bad appointment, he’ll be hungry to succeed. Better then some of the old hat that gets regurgitated at this level.”
Reds fans were hoping for a quick appointment but co-chairman Preston Johnson recently told the Crawley Observer they would not ‘unnecessarily rush the process’.
