Crawley Town new manager announcement: When will the new boss be announced? Why was there a delay to the announcement? Who will be named as John Yems' replacement?

The new owners were originally going to announce at 7pm on Friday (June 3).

But they tweeted: "Just heard from the Queen...she really doesn't want us upstaging her on her special weekend. She also asked that we post updates like these from the official @crawleytown account."

The Reds have been looking for a new boss since John Yems mutually agreed to leave the club at the beginning of May following his suspension after allegations of discriminatory conduct.

The FA are still investigating the allegations and there is still no timeframe on when that investigation may conclude.

When and how will the new manager announcement be made?

Still unknown but it will be after the Jubilee weekend.

Who is likely to be announced as the new Crawley Town boss?

It’s looking like the smart money is on Kevin Betsy to be the man announced.

The Arsenal u23 manager emerged as the favourite to replace Yems earlier this week. Mail Online ran the headline: ‘Arsenal are facing a fight with League Two Crawley to keep highly-rated coach Kevin Betsy’ this week.

The 44-year-old is highly-rated and came through the ranks at the FA to manage at various England junior levels up to the Under-18s.

The former Fulham, Barnsley, Wycombe and Woking midfielder played nearly 600 senior games as a player.

But the Reds are not the only ones to show interest in Betsy, League Two side Swindon Town and League One’s Cheltenham Town are also reported to be interested, according to Metro.

Who else is in the frame for the Crawley Town job?

The bookies had a number of favourites for the Reds role after Yems left, including Paul Tisdale, David Artell and Nathan Rooney. It was also reported new owners WAGMI United were interested in Chelsea women boss Emma Hayes.

Sky Sports reported: “Crawley Town explored the possibility of recruiting Chelsea Women's boss Emma Hayes as their new manager. One source has told Sky Sports News Hayes was the No 1 choice and the club had made moves to approach her about the role.

"However, Crawley are now pursuing another target and are interested in Arsenal U23 coach Kevin Betsy.”

What will happen to Lewis Young?

The Crawley Observer understands Lewis Young, who stood in as interim boss after Yems was suspended, will remain at the club on the coaching staff.

Young was promoted as Yems’ assistant when Lee Bradbury left the club to take up the manager’s role at Eastleigh.

How many candidates did WAGMI United interview for the Crawley Town job?

Co-chairman Preston Johnson told us they had interviewed 12 candidates for the post.
