A lot of much as much around. Quite a lot of names have either succeeded in easy jobs or on the back of a previous custodian.  I also would be cautious as to a villa man namely dean smith we would ruin him.

Bruce on the other hand appears to have lost some control and some questionable ins and outs have taken place. Perhaps it is his back room staff that’s needs looking at

As it stands right now I would only make a change if we had some sort of change of direction

If he could pull that off for us, I'll take back all I said about his relationship with Wolves!!

After watching the MOTD Saturday show I wish we could get the likes of Eddie Howe - The pace, movement and sheer hard work of his team without losing any amount of flair was a joy to watch as they ran Leicester ragged.

You don't need a big name - just someone with a plan and a footballing philosophy

We are currently lacking in both

As long as we don't employ someone on a "get promotion quick" ticket i'll be happy. How we got in this mess in the first place.

Benitez - he's as negative as Bruce.

Brendan could be a shout. We are already have a better squad and potentially more money to spend. He's had his time in Scotland, completed it and now has his rep back. I'm sure he'd prefer a prem job though but if you don't ask.....

Smith is becoming the obvious choice mind.

I'd like Chris Hughton but that's not going to happen.  I reckon they will go for Moyes, not that I want him!  I wonder if they will ask Mendes to pick one of his clients.

I am not sure there is such a thing as an 'easy job'. If you get the Chelsea gig you get a fortune to spend but have to deliver the title. At Arsenal you get quite a few quid too but need a top four finish to avoid criticism, at somewhere like Everton you need top half minimum and even the likes of Huddersfield and Bournemouth demand survival as a minimum. There is pressure at every club, just different kinds of pressure. It is the same in every league. In the Championship, at least half of the league expect top six and the other half expect mid table minimum.
