Steve Morison's appointment as Hornchurch FC manager was made complicated by the fact he was in 'active conversations' with Cardiff City over a potential return to the Bluebirds' dugout, according to the Urchins' chairman.
Morison was let go by Cardiff last September after overhauling the squad, which saw 15 players leave and 17 come in, having been afforded only 10 games with his new crop in the 2022/23 campaign.
Cardiff saw Mark Hudson come in and leave before Sabri Lamouchi eventually got the required points under the belt to keep City in the Championship. However, the Frenchman was also told he would not be kept on for the 2023/24 season and City were on the lookout for a new manager again.
