Now it seems to have been narrowed down to a few realistic options, who are you hoping for? Poll to follow.

Current odds with Paddy Power:

Franck Haise 17/20
Kjetil Knutsen 3/1
Steve Cooper 11/2
Bo Svensson 6/1
Roberto De Zerbi 12/1
Ange Postecoglou 14/1

why even post it, without a poll, is there a fire ?

You can only write up the poll options once the post is posted. A great "feature" of vBullitin.

I voted De Zerbi, but Hainse and Knutsen still look like excellent fits for us. Any of those three and I'd be happy.

Everyone drifting apart from Haise

 

[Guinness Boy]

Any of the 6 named would be ok. Having advocated for Cooper in the past I'd actually have him 6th out of those in the list. Sticking with Team Knutsen for now though as first choice.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I voted De Zerbi purely because I know more about him and have watched his teams more than the others (Cooper aside). Would be pleased with Knutsen, Haile or Svensson though from what I do know and have read up on them. Less keen on Cooper and Postecoglou

 

[brighton_tom]

Its a better list than the one with Jones, Martin, Dyche

I'm surprised that Cooper remains so high in the betting and they've got him down as twice as likely as De Zerbi. Have there actually been any indications from anywhere that Cooper is even in the running or interested?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Svensson now 4/1 second favourite.

This must just be market movement from people chucking a tenner on, I don't think the bookies have a clue.

 

[Nathan]

Would take anyone on that least apart from Cooper.

 

[Kosh]

I really don't know anything about any of them... (Cooper aside, and I'm not sure about the cut of his jib, the Celtic dude a little, but he's unlikely to come I suspect) I knew a substantive amount about Graham Potter prior to his arrival and I still wasn't sold... which, obviously, was a misjudgement.

As such, I'm in a terrible place to make any kind of call, and thus I won't be doing so... nor will I be making any ill-informed pre-judgements about the one who is successful... I'll judge them purely on their results with us (which we'll all do anyway, so all of this "what they've done wherever" is a bit pointless - sigh), with anywhere from survival upwards acceptable in my eyes - especially as it's looking likely they're going to be very, very new to English football.

I wonder how much Mr Bloom has had on our next manager on the exchanges 14-1 sounds a nice sort of price to drop to evens overnight

 

[WhingForPresident]

Sergio Conceiçao of Porto has now appeared on the SkyBet list at 16s?!

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I just hope the next manager can be appointed in the next week or so.
Lots to get on with, could do with this being concluded in a timely manner.

I expect most NSC hadn’t heard of at least 4 or 5 of these blokes until 10 days ago

4 for me.

I suspect we've told him that the Amex is basically a toddler version of the Estadio do Dragao! He'll barely notice a difference.

Abel Ferreira

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I'm still holding out for Gollardo(Yes, I know he's not coming to us)

Out of that list, my preference today is:

1)Haise
2)De Zerbi
3) Svensson
4)Knutsen
5) Ange P
6) Cooper
