Tim Flowers replaces David Lee as Northampton Town caretaker
Northampton Town have replaced caretaker-manager David Lee with former England goalkeeper Tim Flowers.
Lee has left the club following Saturday's 7-2 thumping by Shrewsbury, a result chairman David Cardoza said he was "embarrassed and humiliated" by.
Flowers, 44, who is goalkeeper coach at Sixfields, will now take temporary charge of the Cobblers.
Cardoza will continue his search to replace Gary Johnson, who left the club by mutual consent last week.
"Before Saturday, I was going towards an up-and-coming manager," he told BBC Radio Northampton.
"But now I think we may need a little bit of experience.
"We part on good terms with David. David came here as part of Gary Johnson's staff and we wish him well for the future.
"Tim Flowers will take caretaker charge of the first team until further notice as our search for a new permanent manager continues."
Player-coach Andy Holt, who was assisting Lee, will remain at Sixfields following Northampton's heaviest home loss for 64 years.
TIM FLOWERS FACT FILEContinue reading the main story
•Born: 3 February, 1967
•Played 504 league games for Wolves, Southampton, Swindon, Blackburn, Leicester, Stockport and Coventry
•Capped 11 times by England, making his debut against Brazil in June, 1993
•As a coach he has worked with goalkeepers at Leicester and Man City and was Ian Dowie's assistant at Coventry, QPR and Hull
•He lasted 11 games as manager of non-league Stafford Rangers, leaving in January this year
Cardoza claimed it was "possible but unlikely" an appointment would be made before this weekend's trip to fellow League Two strugglers Plymouth.
"Maybe we can get the sort of combination that worked well in the past with Colin [Calderwood] and John [Deehan]," he added.
"It is a problem. We're 20th in the table and out of all the cups.
"But we'll do everything we can to sort it out. Fortunately we're in November, not in March, so we have some time.
"I'm not going to panic after Saturday and just get the first person in. On the other hand there is a sense of urgency."
