Big Sam won't come - something in the dim and distant past still rankles with him wrt us. Koeman won't come - wants a bigger club. Wilder, McInnes, Michael O'Neil all unproven and a risk. Probably would come down to Pardew or Pearson - not even sure Pearson would come given his sour departure with Robbo. Wondered about Martin O'Neill or Strachan - both left failed national team campaigns. The former might be interesting - can drop Roy Keane though.
