Brabin guided Cambridge to the Blue Square Premier play-off final
Cambridge United chairman George Rolls has confirmed that the club have given manager Gary Brabin permission to enter talks with a Football League club.
The U's lost 2-0 to Torquay in Sunday's Blue Square Premier play-off final.
Rolls told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "We've had an approach from a club much higher than us. I felt it was right to give him permission to speak to them."
Brabin, a former Blackpool midfielder, has been linked with the vacant manager's post at Bloomfield Road.
Brabin has enjoyed a hugely impressive first season at the Abbey following his arrival from Southport last summer.
"Hopefully Gary will show some loyalty to us. We gave him a job when he'd only been in football for five or six games," he said.
"We gave him a huge budget last year, more money than Jimmy Quinn the year before. I just hope he stays around and tries to build again for next year."
Brabin spent big on his way to guiding the U's to the play-off final for the second successive season.
Scott Rendell, Lee Phillips, Andy Parkinson and Phil Bolland are just some of the big names players to have arrived at the club over the past year.
"We've got to run the club as a business and become solvent, we can't have people putting their hands in their pockets every five minutes to bail us out.
"We've got to act as a business and act sensibly. There will be cuts, but we can still push for the play-offs again."
Rolls could not confirm whether or not Brabin would take assistant player-manager Paul Carden with him should he decide to move on, but expects the situation to be resolved within the next few days.
Manager on the cheap, the traditional Reading way? Perhaps Rendell filled him in on our setup?
Or Ferguson on his way from Posh, Babin to take over at Posh?
Blackpool perhaps.

winchester_royal Paul Tisdale would be an excellent choice, however I keep getting a horrible feeling that we will get a numpty like Wise or Sanchez.

But there will also be a strict budget in place and the new boss may have to sell to make significant changes.

Scarface I just hope many on this board that backed Coppell to the hilt throughout the last 2 shambolic seasons, will give the new manager as much backing.
