Player Squad

i thought Henderson had signed an 18 month deal but probably wrong

Mersin, Arthur, Lelan, Taj and Harrold (unless a player coach role) must all surely go none of them are good enough

looks like we are basically keeping everyone else by signing them up which is a shame as we really do seem to lack ambition by signing up the likes of Yerworth

Release/Retain list here - www.crawleytownfc.com/news/2017/may/30.05/
Banton, Bawling & Henderson released. Young has contract extended and Harrold considering an offer of another year.

Young deserves an extention he cares works hard and is a versitle squad player. Long live the King.

Why retain Arthur, Mersin and Tabashih no disrespect but none if those three are even close to good enough . Crazy

What hold does Lewis Young have over Crawley Town FC?

He has been stealing a living since he arrived - never a footballer in a million years.

At the turn of the year if you'd told me that next season we'd have the bulk of our squad plus Bulman, I'd have been pretty happy and looking forward to a top-ten finish... since then it has slowly unravelled and by the last ten matches we were in freefall, it was Jekyll & Hyde... but now the retained list makes it appear that somehow none of the players were to blame...(?)

Okay - it is always easier to sack a manager than a shedload of players, but collectively they have got off lightly.

I'd recommend the new management take a good long look at games from the last third of the season and decide what they think needs changing, without the option - in most instances - of it being the personnel.

To be honest I get the impression Kewell feels so lucked out to be given a chance he will do whatever he is told.   Its clear from his interview he is clueless about this squad , who will be recruited , or frankly what the role of manager entails.   He doesn't come across as being terribly  smart quite honestly.
