Why is Poch not on the list? Is he that unrealistic? Ultimately I think it would come down to money. Pay the ££s and I think it could happen. He’s the only one who tickles my fancy.

I really wanted Dean to work out, but I can’t see it now unless we get exactly the right players in over the next few days.

I really like Smith and I want it to work for him but should we lose tomorrow, with the break until the next winnable game the logic says a new man for Brighton and Watford seems appropriate.

Just concerned by the names around. We need to appoint someone with a similar outlook  who can add a bit of steel. Yet to see anyone (realistic) who I'd be excited by.

Someone I'd like is Martinez. But it'd mean him taking the job alongside Belgium until the Summer, which probably isn't the right move.

For me it’s not worth the switch unless we have someone like Pochettino or Benitez lined up...it has to be a manager of stature and Premier League experience, not one of the usual suspects or someone relatively unknown.

Is Pellegrini worth a shout or is he seen as a busted flush now after having the life drained out of him at West Ham?

If he had the life sucked out of him at West Ham. I dread to think what Aston Villa would do to the guy. It's a big no from me.

It would be a definite candidate for the Celebrity Death watch predictions competition.

Allardyce. I would back him to keep us up this season and get us into a higher finishing position next season.

Not a bad shout, mate. Wouldn't turn my nose up at Gary Megson.

But then every other manager would know our one tactic would be to "get round the back!"

I think I would prefer Gary Newbon.

To be fair Newbon was on the bench the night we won the European Cup  ;)

Maybe our owners would go and ask Alex Ferguson. Worked for us in the past.
