The new man will replace Owen Coyle, who has left the club after leading them into the top flight for the first time in 33 years.[LNB]Coyle will be unveiled by their Lancashire rivals Bolton once compensation has been agreed.[LNB]In the meantime, Burnley coach Steve Davis has been named caretaker manager and will take charge of the team for Saturday's Premier League meeting with Stoke.[LNB]Flood said: "I think we would like to have the same recipe again as much a possible and there are choices that we can consider.[LNB]"We have just got to meet them and make sure they have got the chemistry, the right feeling for Burnley, and hopefully make a decision within the next two weeks.[LNB]"The January window puts extra pressure on everybody. We will be looking for somebody who can make a difference quickly.[LNB]"We are very happy with our squad and if we only made one or two additions nobody would complain.[LNB]"But we want to give any new manager the opportunity to look slightly beyond that and see what he wants to do.[LNB]"It's a challenge. Owen has done a magnificent job for Burnley. I don't think any of us would deny him that."[LNB]Flood expects a plenty of applications for the post.[LNB]He said: "There are always young, hungry, winning managers who want to do something and make their name.[LNB]"I think there will be a lot of interest. That gives us much more choice and hopefully we will get someone with a real ambition for Burnley and the commitment to drive the club forward in the short term.[LNB]"We've got to get ourselves up as it is a new chapter in the club's history.[LNB]"If we can attract the right guy that might add something to what we've got here, who knows where that might lead."[LNB]Burnley travel to Bolton on January 26 with relationships strained between the clubs.[LNB]Chairman Barry Kilby Kilby said: "I don't think we are best of pals at the moment. It was an unwelcome approach.[LNB]"Owen felt Bolton do have a larger player budget than we have and it was his best way of remaining a Premiership manager, working with a budget of that size.[LNB]"It's been a trauma for the football club. None of us wanted Owen to go. It was a shock when all this broke. We are all grown men and know how football works but it was quite emotional when Owen left."[LNB][LNB]
