I think it's going to be Fonseca because of the links to Mendez

I don't know much about him but seems an exciting choice after a quick look on google should we go that way

does anyone know what kind of a manager he is

I just don't see why Fonseca would think us an option given where he is and the level he's competing at unless he really hates the cold.

Fonseca, no idea why.  Then Brendan Rodgers, then Smith.

Japp Stam should be considered at least

For what reason?
God no

Why not ?!

Coached at Ajax
Play off final lost on pens championship reading
Possession game
Big name

In the situation perfectly reasonable suggestion and viable .

Ideally a laurent Blanc or Conte but realistically that not feasible.
Stam is .

They would have better offers if they were actually punting themselves around.

I’d be surprised if it was anyone but John Terry, although them shoeing out all the backroom staff would undermine that belief.

I wouldn't think that Terry is a shoo-in to be the next manager but if it is him and they have already spoken to him then I am pretty sure he would have given the the green light for a clear out based on his knowledge of those involved.

Likely to be someone not working then

Or they've been chatting for a while.

Just me maybe, but i'm not sure Terry would be prepared to walk over the still prone corpse of Bruce to get the villa job.
