Was tempted to leave out people like Rodgers and Potter.
Because they do seem unrealistic atm.
Maybe should do that and take it people would like Potter and Rodgers but who else
I voted Rodgers and don't see him as unrealistic. That would be like removing Wilkinson from a fan vote in 1988. And, obviously, Bielsa was an unrealistic appointment, until we started talking to him.
Here's a suggestion. Let people vote. And if you don't like the most popular vote, remove that name from the poll.

I have removed it
Just thought it would be more interesting poll without the more ambitious/unrealistic names.
At the moment both Potter and Rodgers are unlikely to say the least, Phil has said as much.
I could leave them in if people want? Don't matter to me
Just thought it would he more interesting without
We know people would like Rodgers or Potter we don't need a poll for that
Voted for Rodgers, he is a proven Manager and ticks most of the boxes in my view. Don't think we have much chance of getting him though. People like Parker and Farke seem too light weight for me, OK they have done well getting teams out of the Championship, but once they get into the Premier league they seem lost. Not impressed with Vierra either, did not do much at Palace, Roy Hodgson certainly improved things there.
2nd choice - Possibly Rodgers after the squad has had an axe taken to it and we see what is left to work with.
We're in a right old fcking state innit.
Still being proven right years on.
Radz is a businessman - and knows nowt about football.
Orta is a fraud - and knows nowt about footballers.
Bert - A footballing mastermind that they both got lucky with, end of.
On the basis that we are not an attractive proposition for many out of work managers, I would go for Farke or Rodgers ( but can't see him being interested)......so it's Farke for me.
Every list seems to include somebody I have to Google because I've never heard of him.
Fabian Hurzeler ??
It was Regis le Bris yesterday, and I've forgotten already where he is
KK but would have also gone for Iraola if he was on the list. Wouldn't rule Iraola out based on us being a championship side ashe has only recently had the opportunity to work at the top level so might see it still as a stepping stone as if he got Leeds promoted he would be managing a bigger club than Rayo in a top flight league.

Well reasoned re Iraola but I just don’t see it unfortunately. No chance on KK.
I’m actually hoping for Farke. In a straight fight between the market top 3 it’s a no brainer.
Does the Farke odds dropping today mean that Webber is coming in as DOF?
Would be a logical link. Webber been part of discussion for the past couple of weeks. Possible that the new owners have been talking to him behind the scenes

I'm hoping we're going to see a lotof ambition from the new board. And that means that several unrealistic coaches will now be realistic. Like I said further up, Wilkinson and Bielsa both dropped to lower tiers than their earned reputations.
I also think back to teams like Blackburn when they made Dalglish manager and started buying players like Shearer.
We know the board wants an immediate bounce. So let's hope they're going all in to make it happen. And hence, getting us a higher calibre than a championship coach.
