 Wormull returned home to join Crawley , on much reduced wages , but he failed his medical examination ; the club initially offered him a short @-@ term deal while he proved his fitness . At the end of the 2004 – 05 season he agreed a two @-@ year contract . He turned down offers of full @-@ time football , preferring to stay near home and combine his playing role with running the club 's new youth coaching scheme in local schools . A succession of managerial changes following the club 's takeover resulted in Wormull acting as caretaker manager for four matches in November 2005 , a role in which he made a positive start . During this period he agreed a new contract , but the offer was later withdrawn , and he was given permission to speak to other clubs . Unwilling to leave the Sussex area , he decided to stay with Crawley , but when the club halved the players ' wages , thereby breaching their contracts and allowing them to leave on free transfers , Wormull chose to join Conference South club Lewes .
