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.
Hayes was recently named FA WSL Manager of the Season after clinching a third league title in a row. She also led Chelsea to victory in the Vitality Women's FA Cup.

Is Crawley Town board really meant this business? How will our Queen whose team is gonna be playing women champions league football leave her post for a league 2 team?? I want to believe that the entire board members plus even the fans should be facing brain turmoil right now to even think about Queen Hayes
