Crawley manager John Hollins says he could be sacked on Friday.

That is when administrator Rob Sadler is expected to announce the new owner of the Conference club.

Potential buyers must register their bid by Wednesday and Sadler will then decide if any offers are suitable.

Hollins, who oversaw Crawley's 0-0 pre-season friendly draw with Brentford on Saturday at the Broadfield Stadium, accepts a new owner may want to bring in his own manager.

He said: "The deadline is Friday I believe and I'm long enough in the tooth to know that I could be out.

"All I can do is carry on working hard and continue to improve the team. I thought Alan (Lewer) and I did a good job last year, we improved the players' fitness, stopped letting goals in and we got results under difficult circumstances.

"We have brought people in and I think we have shown signs of improvement again. That is all we can do, we just have to wait and see what happens."
