I have a lot of time for Crawley - Woodman

Former Bromley manager Andy Woodman says Crawley Town are a club he has "a lot of time for", as the League Two strugglers continue their search for a permanent manager.

Woodman, 55, has been out of work since his sacking by Bromley last month, which came a day after Crawley parted company with Colin Kazim-Richards.

Former Sheffield United boss Kevin Blackwell is in interim charge of the Reds, who find themselves at the foot of the English Football League and out of the FA Cup after a shock defeat by seventh-tier Wimborne Town on Sunday.

When asked on the 72+ EFL podcast if he would be interested in the Crawley job, Woodman said: "Crawley's a club that's very close to me.

"My son [goalkeeper Freddie Woodman] went on loan [there]. I've grown up around the area. It's a football club I've got a lot of time for.

"They have got some big games coming up against teams around them, and if they can climb out of the bottom, they can start getting that club back to where they should be.

"I do hope they do, because it's a club I do like."

Also on the podcast, former Wimbledon and Reading winger Jobi McAnuff questioned Crawley's approach to squad building and called the club's situation "a mess".

"I don't think there's any other way to describe it," he said.

"That was probably summed up by that result in the FA Cup and hearing Kevin Blackwell talk about it after the game.

"It's hard for players when there's been so much chopping and changing. Colin Kazim Richards came in and helped them stay up last year, and then they go and get rid of a lot of the senior players.

"Is that people above having an influence on what they feel might be a better business model for the football club?"
