Any approach for Ebbsfleet manager Liam Daish would be put to the club’s 30,000 members.

That’s the view of chairman John Moules after Daish and assistant Alan Kimble were linked with Blue Square Premier rivals Cambridge.

United sacked boss Jimmy Quinn after 21 months as manager on Sunday, with the club already receiving applications for the post.

Mr Moules said: “The people who have the final say are the members. If we’re approached as a club we will seek the views of the members.

“We have had no contact or approach from Cambridge United whatsoever. We’ve also had no indication from Liam or Alan that they have been approached.”

Mr Moules is not surprised that Daish and Kimble have been linked with the job and added: “That’s the good thing about football. When you do have success staff are often in demand.

“There is a huge job to be done at Ebbsfleet and I hope Liam and Alan will be part of that.”
