Thread title is not right - he was not dismissed - he left by "mutual consent". There is a significant legal difference between the two.
(INSERT NEW MANAGER'S NAME) RED ARMY!
Have changed thread title👍
You might have changed the Title of this Thread abit Early.
I'm looking at Sky New Channel 233 now at 5.38pm , and Headlines rolling through on the bottom of their page is 'Crawley Town have Sacked John Yems today'.
You would have thought the club page was more accurate but not sure now. Sky News are normally careful what they Print!
I've got to say I'm shocked. I didn't expect the new owners to move this quickly, not sure if this means their own internal investigation is now concluded. Feel like we still haven't got any answers let alone any closure on this. Quite frankly this all feels totally surreal to me and I'm left confused and shocked by how quickly things have moved with the allegations yesterday and now this news today. Where this leaves us for next season I have no idea at the moment and I'm left wanting answers. This is all very disturbing and I hope we will eventually get closure on this sorry saga.
I'm disappointed but not shocked. With the onslaught over the last week, and the timing in the football calendar, it wasn't going to end well.
The statement says he has gone by mutual consent. That could mean many things, of course. Whether the investigation has reached a conclusion isn't clear.

Disappointing, mostly that what had up until now been such a great relationship has ended this way, but as has been said elsewhere, if there was any truth in the allegations, he had to go. Given this news either the club feel they have been provided with enough evidence to conclude there was no way back, or Yems has decided he doesn't need the hassle and asked for his release.
It is all very strange. I still can't get my head around the idea that this happened, especially the segregation thing, and no-one said or even hinted anything about it in the time he was here. But that there seem to be multiple players making the accusations and no-one has publicly come out and said it's all nonsense (maybe that's a condition of the ongoing investigations, but you would think if any of the players knew it was all lies someone would have said by now, or at least implied it on social media or something).
We have to move on as a club and try and restore our reputation on the pitch rather than just being known for this. Assuming the NFT market isn't about to collapse (refuses to check the news) our future looks bright, and hopefully whoever comes in can unite the club and build a team to challenge next year.

Another reason is that the club are now looking for new sponsors who are not happy with John Yems remaining as manager.
So what now, serious accusations can be made and the media will jump all over it and a club will feel they have to get rid of the manager because of mud sticking and the potential huge reputational damage while a long drawn out bureaucratic investigation plays out and said employee may be guilty so both parties feel they have to cut their losses and part ways. The club for the reputation damage and the impact of building a team for next season and the manager for the hassle.
So what happens ***IF*** Yems is actually innocent and he’s found innocent by the ongoing investigations?
Although the club statement says it was ‘mutual’ and the club can claim plausible deniability that this is ***NOT*** and admission that Yems is guilty it certainly will be interpreted that way and to be honest the more I think about it it could be a lose lose situation either way as if the club stuck by Yems that could be potentially very damaging for the club given the alleged number of people making these allegedly very serious accusations. Sadly mud sticks and although this may have been the least worst option for the club and Yems what a crying shame ***IF*** he was actually innocent!
I hope we get answers and it’s known whether Yems is guilty or innocent as the truth still matters even though he has left!
I was totally shocked by the initial news of the allegations, but not at all shocked by Yems' departure - quite the reverse, I expected it given the serious nature of the allegations and that so many current players were - allegedly - involved in the claims. I can't see why we would carrying on investigating an-ex employee, so I assume that's over too, and whatever findings there may be subject to some agreement on confidentiality reached with the depature deal? Anyway we'll see. The closure bit on the allegations well, I can't see how this news is going to halt the FA probe so we'll get that eventually, whether we like it or not.
I was a huge fan of what Yems did results-wise and playing style-wise. I even defended him repeatedly when he was criticised for his controversial press conferences. In retrospect, I may have been wrong about that, as it could have been a sign of issues elsewhere, but that's for the future outcomes to point to.
Yems still deserves the presumption of innocence until any formal body finds him culpable and I intend to give him that. But am I pleased he's left? Yes. Am I pleased Crawley's part of this is concluded so quickly? Yes, very much so. We can now get on and plan what should be one of the most exciting eras in the club's history.
