NO MOVE YET FOR TIM
TIM Flowers has not applied for the Chesterfield job nor has the club approached him, says company secretary Ashley Carson.
The former England goalkeeper left Solihull Moors by mutual consent on Tuesday with the club ninth in the National League after taking them to second last season.
Speculation was rife that Flowers could be the man to take the Spireites hot seat on a permanent basis, but Carson has denied the possibility for now.
“He has not applied for the job and I have certainly not approached him,” he told the Derbyshire Times.
“I initially agreed to a six-week reign for John Pemberton and this remains the position.
“I have not actively progressed with communication towards any of the applicants (for the manager’s job).
“Currently there are 38 applications.”
Flowers, 52, was appointed Moors boss in 2018, and led them to the FA Cup second round before losing to AFC Fylde in the playoff semi-finals.
“It is with immense pride that I leave Solihull Moors Football Club.
“The journey that we’ve been on in the last two years or so has been quite remarkable,” he said.
“I wish the club all the very best in their quest for Football League status and I will remain an avid watcher and fan.”
JODY BROWN is the early frontrunner to land the Chelmsford City job. The former Heybridge Swifts manager is looking for his next challenge in management following 14 months under Peter Taylor at Dagenham & Redbridge as first team coach. Brown has rebuilt his reputation and confidence following a difficult spell at Welling United in 2015, with a successful time at Swifts, who he saved from relegation and, in 2017, took to the first round of the FA Cup and the Isthmian North play-offs. Brown lives close to the National League South Clarets, whose vacancy will no doubt appeal widely. Former Woking and Ebbsfleet boss Garry Hill has also been linked. Chelmsford, who sacked Rod Stringer earlier in the week, said in the job advert they are looking for more than a manager but a “club ambassador” who has experience of developing successful youth pathways and a strong desire to enhance community aspects of the club.
