23 April 2022: Crawley suspend manager John Yems over 'credible' accusations of discriminatory language
5 May 2022: Crawley Town FC: Manager John Yems refuses to answer questions after (racial) segregation claims
The allegations against Crawley Town FC manager John Yems, which he apparently denies, are understood to include:
* Presiding over segregated changing facilities with two dressing rooms at the training ground which, although not official policy, was reinforced by comments to white players such as, ‘Don’t change in the black boys’ room’.
* Frequently referring to a number of the squad’s players from Asian backgrounds as ‘terrorists, suicide bombers and curry munchers’.
* Calling one youth-team player a ‘suicide bomber’ on a regular basis and telling him not to get the train home wearing a backpack because fellow passengers would think he intended to blow it up.
* Routinely using the n-word and referring to one black player as a ‘Zulu warrior’.
* Calling a young player of Cypriot extraction a ‘Greek bobble-head’ and mocking Greek music.
* Banishing two players with ethnic minority backgrounds from training with the first team without explanation.
* Causing such resentment in the squad that seven players complained to the Professional Footballers' Association last month, with at least one seeking counselling as a result of the damage the manager did to his mental health.
