Feck me that’s horrendous……

I am surprised the fail haven't started a campaign to support him.

I am surprised the fail haven't started a campaign to support him.

It's only a matter of time, considering some of the comments:

'A bit of name calling. We have lost the next war.'

'You wanna hear what I say down the Victory Service Club.'

'Harmless banter'

 

[bhanutz]

Always came across as a grade A Cu*t.... Is anyone surprised?

 

[GoingUp]

It really is horrendous.

I don't know how anyone can call this 'banter', how is segregating the changing rooms banter? Can only imagine what he says private.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

In cases like this I wonder what has happened before. This man has been around the game for a long time albeit much lower down the system. His manner and personality must have surfaced before.

 

[Bakero]

Incredible. How has he managed to survive in the game for this long?

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Simply because racism is alive and doing very well, it never went away, you only have to look on this board with PPF and a few others, hiding in plain sight.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

A shoe in for the Burnley job

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Struggling to believe he actually forced the players to segregate based on skin colour but if it is in fact true, that club needs a complete clean out as this would have been obvious to see for so many people within the club.

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

If true - what a f***** scumbag.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

How has this not come out sooner? Segregated changing rooms at training? How did no one at the club stop that?

If the allegations are true I'd suggest it's more than just the manager who should be losing their job.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

If true - what a f***** scumbag.

Exactly, IF true, all this is alleged at the moment.

Innocent until proved guilty remember?

I'm with you on that. Football is a team sport I can't believe doing something like that is going to build any team spirit and why it wasn't called out sooner by the senior pros.

But as you say if it turns out to be correct then many heads need to roll and not just his.

Maybe it’s one terrible man….more likely racist behaviour happens at other clubs too, particularly when footballing dinosaurs are involved.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Shocking if true. There's not a one off incident claim but a whole catalogue of awful accusations. Crawley has had some charmers as manager. Steve Evans and now this guy.

 

[rippleman]

And the Crawley fans singing their support of the racist and demanding his return according to the article.

As I know somebody will be a long shortly to say "yeah..but..it's in the Daily Mail so....", here is the report from the Mirror

Crawley manager suspended. Shocking report.

Shocking news of Crawley manager racism and suspension. https://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/20113061.crawley-town-boss-john-yems-racial-accusations-revealed/

 

[Finch]

Segregated changing rooms. Hard to believe this sort of thing actually happens still.

Chanting for a return of the manager by the fans is a bit crass, unless the allegations haven't been clear.
