After Neil Harris was sacked on October 5, Lindsey told us: "I understand the industry, when you are doing well, clubs will show an interest and that's a normal thing to happen. But I will just be focused on what the job is at Crawley Town and keep performing the way we are and win as many games as we can."

And it has been rumoured that appointment will be either Lindsey or former Tottenham Hotspur player and Aston Villa and Newcastle United coach Stephen Clemence.

Scott Lindsey has been linked with the Gillingham ever since Neil Harris left the club at the beginning of October.

Despite collecting only one point in October, they are still only five points off the play offs. Given they were everyone's favourites to go down this year and have a relatively new squad, it's been a great achievement by Lindsey and his team.

And now Lindsey says he wants Gillingham to make their their appointment quickly. He told us: "I can't wait for Gillingham to make an appointment so it settles everyone down a little bit. It's been going on a long, long while. Fair play to them they are doing their due diligence but it just keeps going on and on, and people are questioning me. I understand why the link is there but I have just got to concentrate on what I am doing. I just hope Gillingham appoints quickly now because it's half getting on my nerves to be honest with you."
