Dont fancy any of them.
This is going to be the biggest decision our board will make this summer. Predicting it won't be AP who has presided over a terrible run.
I see Silva is favourite with the bookies, I'm not sure about him, only because I don't think he will know the championship that well. Having said that, there aren't many names on the list that are exciting me.....
Craig Shakespeare would probably be up there for me.
Who does everyone want??

Dont fancy any of them.
From that list I'd go for the lesser fancied ones. Pearson, Smith, Shakespeare. Preference would be a Pearson/Shakespeare combination.
I can see it happening now... villa get promoted and you offer Bruce a bonus and we go for someone young and exciting like Silva.
Pardew has been a disaster. Wish you the best for the future but it is a massive massive appointment
How about Frank de Boer? His record in the Prem isn’t good, as Mourinho the moaner pointed out recently, but he has an excellent record abroad for bringing on young footballers, which could be good for us in developing our academy prospects. I expect to be shot at for such a suggestion!
Appleton FFS.
No thanks.
Albion in the championship. Very likely. In such circumstances I don’t think we will be seen as a particularly attractive proposition for many potential managers. I think a lot of the names that have been mentioned can be discounted. Which is no bad thing.
Laughing boingy I looked at the list i wouldn't have any of them ether same old names time after time , I get totally pi ssed off with it you could next season probably add Pardew , Bruce ,
Fat Sam , & wan ker Hughes to their list
how they keep getting plum jobs is beyond me .
