For me the appointment of Yems, a lower non-league manager who wouldn't get a job anywhere else at our level, was a sign that the Turks have had enough and are now downscaling as a precursor to quitting altogether. Very sad for those like Kelly with drastically affected livelihoods.
To be honest if I was Eren, and had put money into the club to keep at this level for 3 years but still got surrounded by fans in the club car park, I'd probably think yep I'll focus on something else instead.
It seems to me HK Paul is now in open conflict with the Turks. I for one hope he wants to take the reins and can get an amicable deal with the Turks together - and one which you would hope would involve a handing over, rather than Eren wanting his money back -as then things get very negative here indeed and we would be in to a holding the club hostage situation.
I would suggest this would be a good time for the CTSA to bury its hatchet with HK Paul, I'm not sure there are many other options realistically for us to remain a league club. You can't fight everyone and everything, focus on the priority of not squandering everything the club has achieved since 2007
How you can blame the fans for this is beyond me
Thanks for that massive caricature of everything I said
This is a scandalous situation which has sprung up from nowhere.
Kelly doesn’t deserve this, and even if she did, there are ways to conduct yourself.The club appears not to have conducted itself particularly well here.
You don’t want car park protests? You want the family to pull together?.
Good luck with that Mr Eren.

I've only just seen this. Shocking and disgusting. Wonder if the Turkish mafia had the balls to tell her face to face? It would appear not. Hope Kelly can add to the "financial difficulties" by coming up trumps in an industrial tribunal.
under achievers such as Selim look as though they are retaining a job, couldnt we ditch him and save a few bob, would we notice?
Probably not.
Reminds me of those famous quotes Churchill made about Atlee.
"An empty car drew up outside the Broadfield Stadium. Selim Gaygusuz got out" and "a modest man, with plenty to be modest about."
Presumably made before Attlee handed him his arse in 1945.
On the substantive matter, Selim has done some good things for the club up to this point along with some mistakes but we are now in a new situation where gratitude for the support of the owners in keeping Crawley in league football for the past few years will disappear very quickly if the strategy is now merely managed decline and holding the club hostage til they can wring some money out of a new buyer (a very fanciful notion)
Its a puzzle to me, surely as others have said why do we need so many coaching staff and if you need to cull the wage bill surely Kelly wasn't one of the top earners? It seems very much like watch this space for the movement of others. Players? I cannot see those on loan returning and if anything more being shipped out as by doing so we could be cutting back paying wages whether the loan clubs take this on or part of.
Ultimately it needs the club to clarify these financial challenges. Without this fans are left in the dark and concerned for ultimately the survival of their football club, so please CTFC give us some honest news and hopefully you can rationalise and balance out some of the fears among fans.
It seems that Kelly is very highly thought of by the fans and her sacking (that’s what it is) hasn’t been handled very well by the club and the statement from the CTSA after talking to the directors leaves more questions than answers.
