Crawley Town boss John Yems hopes to 'feel a little bit upset' on his return to Bournemouth for FA Cup clash three years after his acrimonious departure from the Cherries

Crawley Town boss John Yems does not even pretend to be over his sacking at Bournemouth and does not dare to predict how he might feel as he returns for the first time.

'I'd like to feel I'll be a little bit upset,' said Yems, who has not set foot inside the Vitality Stadium since he was dismissed without warning from his role as football operations manager in 2018.

He had worked there for six-and-a-half years, was responsible for securing the return of Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall to the club and worked closely with them as they climbed to the Premier League.
