'Fonseca' - sounds like a cheap sherry brand.

I always think of the goofy bloke that used to play for Napoli.

Its actually a very well known and Highly reputable Port House.

Good man, sure is.

Quite surprised by the amount that have gone for Fonseca. He’s seem to be in the rent-a-club mould of fluttering his eyelashes at every vacant job out there.

Ill drink to that.

One thing Fonseca would do is spark some pretty nifty Fonz songs.  Hopelessly Devoted and Greased Lightning to name but two.

While I think Ten Hag is unrealistic anyway, is he just a more exotic Steven Gerrard? Doing well with a traditionally strong club in a weak league?

Lucien Favre appears the standout on the poll list - certainly his Wikipedia 'Managerial Style' seems to fit what we're looking for:

Favre's teams play a dynamic, quick and attacking-minded football where ball possession and change of tempo alternate. This attractive style of play has brought results in every club he has managed. Furthermore, Favre is very skillful tactically, leaving his opponents struggling to penetrate his well-organized sides.

Favre is also well known for his ability to develop talented young players and introduce them into the first team.

Graham Potter would also be the standout, but can't see Brighton releasing unless we pay silly amounts of compensation.

[Villa Lew]

Yes I would go for Graham Potter, doing a very good job at Brighton.

If thats the price so be it. The cost of getting it wrong will be much more expensive.

Slaven Bilic anyone? - Currently in China I believe

[Border villan]

The title of this poll is incorrect. The word permanent needs removing.

Also can we add Dean Smith to the list to vote for rather than the rest.

I mentioned this to a friend earlier. I was told to "F##k off"

Sounds like your friend was being polite.
