Stratford Town part company with manager, former Blackburn goalkeeper Tim Flowers

TIM Flowers has left his position as Stratford Town manager.

In statement released last night (Thursday), club chairman Jed McCrory said: "I'd had a few discussions with Tim about the rest of the season. He'd indicated that he had some other projects that he was keen to work on and we amicably decided that for both parties it was a good time to move on.

“I'd like to thank Tim for his efforts during his time with us, he'll be welcome back any time to the Arden Garages Stadium and we wish him good luck in the future."

Flowers added: "I came in to help in November with a brief from the club and with eight games to go this season it looks like were set for our status in the division. I thought it was a good time for someone to come in and start preparing for next season.

“I leave friends with Jed; I've got a lot of respect for him and he's doing a great job here.

“I wish the club, and everyone involved with it all the best going forward and I'll have my eye on results and I hope everything goes well."

The first team coaching staff will take charge of the team until a new manager is appointed.
