Freedman approach for duo fails

October 30 2012

Dougie Freedman and Lennie Lawrence

Crystal Palace have rejected Bolton's request to speak to Lennie Lawrence and Curtis Fleming.

Assistant manager Lawrence and first team coach Fleming are currently in charge of first team affairs after the departure of Dougie Freedman.

After Freedman left the club to become Bolton Wanderers' manager it became apparent that he would look to get his backroom staff to follow him.

However the Palace board have rejected any approach for the duo whilst they search for a permanent replacement for Freedman.

Freedman told BBC Manchester: "In Lennie and Curtis's situation, they [Palace] feel that, right now, it's not the right time to let them talk to us,"

"We've made the call and it's been rejected. We'll just watch this space."

He added: "There's been discussions but I want to do it the correct way and the professional way."
