Don't want Parky.
Moyes is well out of our league.
O'Driscoll? Tisdale? Jimmy FLOLoyd?

I'd be well up for Jovanovic, and I'd expect Vydra would be too.

Edit: A quick Google tells me he's already manager elsewhere. Never mind.

Jimmy Floyd if we can get him.

Moyes probably a bit out of our league and not keen on another dour Scotsman.
Di Canio for the lulz
Obligatory Curbishley mention
Brian would please the fans
Please not Sherwood or, god forbid, Chris Ramsey.

Moyes is a surprising 6/1, and I'd be happy with Pearson (but I think he'll be off to QPR). The rest make me want to cry. If we hired Alex McCleish, I might actually end it all.

It should be a Reading man.

My first choice is Eamonn Dolan, but I imagine his health will get in the way of that, unfortunately for him and the club.

Second choice - Martin Kuhl or David Dodds. Slightly prefer Kuhl because he works with the older players who are on the verge of the first team, might be less afraid to play Kelly or Liburd if need be.

Third choice... Brendan Rodgers. Obviously a better manager than our young coaches. Has come a long way since his last spell here. Feel this squad would suit him and he'd have faith to bring on our younger players. Only Robson-Kanu was in the senior squad during his failed spell here so that shouldn't be an issue, but the fans will be sceptical and he'd be expensive.

Fourth choice - Adie Viveash. Manager of Chelsea U21s. They play really good football. He'd be a good fit.

Fifth, Brynjar. Actually has coaching experience as an AM at an Icelandic top flight club. Would probably be out of his depth, but with these players, I don't think it would matter. Ahead of the next two because he'd be a step forward rather than back.

Sixth, Steve Coppell. Seventh, Brian McDermott, who proved he could get a team playing proper football in his first season with us.

After them, the crazy unrealistic options with respectable personalities - Ancelotti, Moyes.

Next, experienced Championship managers. Warburton and Jovanovic are both options. Would Sean O'Driscoll consider returning to management? The perpetual Alan Curbishley option?

Then we have the gambles from the lower leagues with no real connection to the club, but the right philosophy.

After them, you're onto the Warnock/Di Canio/Mourinho types. No thanks. Would rather they made Dave-Royal manager.

Jovanovic is managing a club in the Champions League group stage this season, I hasten to add

We haven't even got the option of nicking the manager from our feeder club as Hughton would be a bit of a mare.

Rumor has it Gary Monk's position at Swansea could be in jeopardy....now he would be a great new up and coming manager. And if we're lucky he could bring the maestro with him...all hail the Gylfi. :D
