Sky Sports news today reports that young unproven manager Sam Draisey has given the job of keeping Crawley Town up. It's no mean feat, with the team already deducted 10 points from going into administration at the end of last season.



I had nothing. No home, no wife, no money. No nothing. I had been forced to retire from sunday league football through injury two seasons ago and now i had a gaping, football shaped hole in me. i wanted to get back into the game. In despiration, i took the FA coaching badges i had and searched the sky sports website for jobs.

I was in luck. I applied for three positions at conference level clubs. I had always fancied myself as a manager. it dosnt look that hard. And when Crawley came back to me the next day, offereing te job, i felt really wanted. I put them of for a week and although the other applications were successful, i took the bankrupt, points deducted threadbare squad crawley job on anyway. With such low expectations from the media and fans, i thought it would be an ideal job for me to 'start my career'. We shall see.
