A football first? Northampton axe caretaker boss

22 November 2011 15:11
David Lee has been replaced in temporary charge of the Cobblers by goalkeeping coach Tim Flowers.

Lee's caretaker reign lasted just 90 minutes and saw Town beaten 7-2 by Shrewsbury in a game that left chairman David Cardoza 'embarrassed and humiliated'.

He joins his former boss Gary Johnson in leaving the club with ex-England international Flowers, assisted by Andy Holt, taking the reins for now.

"Before Saturday, I was going towards an up-and-coming manager," Cardoza told BBC Radio Northampton.

"But now I think we may need a little bit of experience."

Flowers has managerial experience with Stafford Rangers and was also assistant to Iain Dowie at Coventry, QPR and Hull. Dowie, currently out of work, is a 25/1 chance to become the next permanent manager at Sixfields.
