I think there is no way in hell Flower quits a cushty T20 career earning big money to take orders from a person who represent's his anti-Christ.
There is a suggestion that he could be allowed to continue in his role at RCB, but he also has a job in the Centiball too, which would be more problematic, so if the ECB were to employ him again it would cost them an awful lot of money, even with him keeping his RCB role.
I can see the ECB going with Flower again. It would certainly be a culture shock for the players, so it depends on whether it's believed to be a good thing. His last tenure, whilst successful, became quite a corrosive regime over time. Maybe Flower learnt some lessons from that too.
As for Key....... it wouldn't surprise me if the ECB are in a holding pattern waiting for the green light from Alec Stewart, which if it comes at all, won't come until the end of season
