Like others have said , seems bizarre that anyone could get away with anything like this for more than a second in this day and age, maybe it’s been blown out of proportion but usually there’s no smoke without fire in these situations
Don’t joke! I saw this thread and immediately thought “Oh god, no. Please don’t be our new manager”. And that was without knowing about the racist stuff. Hadn’t realised that had happened.
I thought he was a bit of a prick when he was just that bloke who gives attention seeking interviews.

One thing i don't understand is that he's 62 and has been around football in various roles for a long time. But the report says "It’s been going on since 2020-21". How come there are no allegations from before that? He's been manager of Crawley since 2019, so surely he didn't just wake up one day in the 20/21 season and decide to become a racist bully.
If the allegations are true though, it's absolutely remarkable that a) he thought he could get away with it and b) no one reported it sooner.

1. He probably thinks it's all "banter" and a "laugh" and any disagreement is just being "woke" or "pc gone mad".
2. Maybe they did and it was ignored or dismissed as above by others at the club. Or people felt afraid that if they did speak out they'd be dropped/sacked/victimised.
I don't know but I'm glad someone did speak out and that he going to get what he deserves, the sack.

Wow, just seen this, words fail me (for once). I always thought the bloke was a nutter, but that's simply disgraceful beyond belief. I hope he gets the harshest possible punishment, if proven.
I’d heard that he was being ousted by the new owners and he was suspended a forthright ago despite nobody telling him why and no charges being brought. Although there was a rumour he’d said something racist, I don’t think anybody expected it to be this bad.
And here we have it... He couldn't help but bring us back to Brexit.
Eh?
I have not mentioned Brexit whatever that is supposed to mean. I see things in terms of leave and remain. If you were unable to detect that my comment was ironic I apologise for not being clearer.
I haven't read all this thread but seeing the allegations then not only is he potentially a nasty git, but Crawley also have a case to answer. They must have known what he was doing.
Spoke to someone in the know - I'm assured that the Daily Mail stuff is total and utter nonsense but his 'banter has probably has crossed the line' and he 'almost certainly won't be coming back from it'.
I see this 'old-school' (read: institutionalised racism) thing way more than I would like. The people I work around, of a certain age usually, tend to whisper what they think now, rather than say it loudly. And sometimes what these guys think is a joke or not meant with malice is still bang out of order - they just haven't realised it yet.

surely can’t be true nowadays can it
He'll be cheap.
Also massively surprising if true, that he got away with it for so long under the previous owners
If the allegations are true though, it's absolutely remarkable that a) he thought he could get away with it and b) no one reported it sooner.
Bet he voted remain too!!!
Apologies

Surprised the Mail aren't hailing him as a poor victim of the cancel police.
Can't say anything these days...
