Betsy sacked

“Unconvinced it was time to do this?”

What planet are you from, Westander?

At least the next incumbent will have a chance to turn this season round🙏

6 points from the opening 12 games is simply not good enough and with a greater budget than Yems had who guided us to a solid mid table finish, so it's no surprise he's been sacked, but I do feel a little sorry for Kev as he seemed a positive and enthusiastic guy, but I think he was not the right manager for a team at this level.

It seemed to take him 5-6 games to realize that his plan of playing total football building up from the back was not going to work and by that point we had an over-inflated squad with a dozen or so young players with little league experience who Betsy had got in to play a certain way and when he realized it wasn't working he must have spent the majority of the seasons budget already on players who weren't up to it and he'd alienated most of the players that were already here and he didn't have a plan B so the team had no real structured way of playing.

A real shame it never worked out and good luck Kev on your next venture, but we need to get someone in now with experience at this level. The aim now is just to stay up and finish as far away from the relegation zone as we can. A clear out of Betsy's duffers will be needed in the summer and give the next manager a chance to build a decent team more suited to this level.

Its a 'polite' way of saying sacked.

Don't they often say 'mutual agreement' or some other disingenuous sounding phrase so I imagine Kev was probably sacked, but it's unlikely we'll ever know for sure.

One of many reason Betsy had to go:

None of those things made the smallest scrap of difference to our results this season.

You got what you wanted this season, which is having the ownership you want, so I don’t know why you have to come sticking your oar in here sowing myths on a difficult day for Crawley fans.

The story is actually much simpler, an opportunity was given to a promising, inexperienced young manager who had good credentials on paper but it didn’t work out. It has worked out better for a similar type of guy at Salford. That’s football, it happens. Nothing to do with the trivia you mention
