Tim Flowers at Sky Blues

Stuart Pearce admits he was eager to retain the services of Tim Flowers, but was unable to stand in his goalkeeping coach's way after he was offered an assistant manager role.
Flowers has quit Manchester City in order to take a post at Coventry, where new incumbent Iain Dowie has been quick to be reunited with his former Southampton team-mate during his playing days.
Pearce believes Flowers has established himself as the best goalkeeping coach in the country during his four years at Eastlands and it was with genuine reticence that he gave the move his blessing.
He did, though, relent to Flower's wishes and it is Coventry who he believes have ensnared a coach of considerable pedigree.
"I am desperately sad to lose him and we are very, very disappointed because, as far as I am concerned, in the past and now, Tim Flowers is the best goalkeeping coach in the country," Pearce told club's official website.
"We tried our best to keep him with us but it is the club he supported as a kid, it is nearer his home, and he just felt it was an opportunity he could not turn down."

Dudek plays down Reds row

Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek has admitted he was reprimanded over his behaviour during the club's training camp in Portugal.
The Reds found themselves in the headlines for all the wrong reasons last weekend following reports of misbehaviour by several players during their time in Portugal.
Dudek was reported to be one of the players involved in the high jinks which saw Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez issue a statement saying he would be punishing any players who breached club rules.
Polish international Dudek has played down the severity of the trouble, but admitted some players, including himself, had behaved inappropriately by breaking Benitez's midnight curfew.
"Most of the press printed strange, unreal stories concerning our going out for supper to the nearest restaurant, while we were in Portugal," Dudek told his official website.
"Among others, I have read, that I wanted to beat up the policeman, was handcuffed and detained by the police. Nothing of that kind happened.
"I admit that we behaved inappropriately for the situation. We have betrayed our coach's trust, because we returned to the hotel around several dozen minutes after the 'zero hour', as well as other hotel guests, because we disturbed their peace and night time.
"The next day we felt stupid. Our coach talked to us and punished those who deserved it the most. I was one of them.
"We have to draw a conclusion from this incident, so as to avoid such a situation in future."

Wigan sign Preston's Nash on loan

Wigan have signed Preston goalkeeper Carlo Nash on a month's emergency loan following injuries to Chris Kirkland and Mike Pollitt.
The 33-year-old has fallen out of favour at Deepdale after a proposed move to Fulham last month collapsed before the transfer deadline.
Boss Paul Jewell told the club website: "Carlo is the right player to come in and play a role in the circumstances.
"I have no doubt about his ability to move back up to the Premiership."
England keeper Kirkland is sidelined for six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a thumb ligament damaged in training, while back-up Pollitt also sidelined with a thigh strain.
Jewell was given permission to bring in short-term cover for third-choice keeper John Filan.
I realise I'll have to fight for my place with John Filan
Carlo Nash
The experienced Nash, who has played for Stockport, Wolves, Manchester City and Middlesbrough, goes straight into the squad to face Watford on Wednesday.
He said: "It's great to have a chance of playing in the Premiership again.
"I realise I'll have to fight for my place with John Filan, who is a great keeper with a lot of experience, but I hope I can help the team for the next month, or however long the agreement lasts."
