Crawley Town's new manager Colin Kazim-Richards is determined to make an impact and turn the club's non-results into results. The 39-year-old takes on his first managerial job with the club fighting to stay in League Two after a 10-match winless run. Kazim-Richards, who has been involved in the Arsenal youth set-up, believes he can make an impact straight away and start turning non-results into results. He understands the impact he needs to make straight away and is confident of avoiding relegation. The club parted company with Scott Lindsey on Monday with the club in a perilous position, just a point above the relegation zone. Kazim-Richards is banking on the emergency nature of his appointment focusing minds with seven matches remaining, starting on Saturday with a home match against 16th-placed Gillingham. He said he believes 'some of our players have not been in the position to affect the game with their strengths', adding: 'I'm very, very, very confident [of avoiding relegation]. I wouldn't have taken this job if I wasn't confident.' Kazim-Richards is a Turkish international who started his career at Bury and played for 17 clubs. He hopes to pass on some of the lessons from the challenging experiences he faced. 'I've been in relegation battles with four different teams five different times from being 18 in my first professional season to being a seasoned pro. I know what it takes. It's not easy but in life nothing's easy,' he said. 'What I'm bringing is understanding of what it takes to get out of this situation.'
