Managers available;
Alex McLeish
Henning Berg
Mark McGee
Nigel Adkins
Owen Coyle
Paul Ince
Phil Brown
Roberto Di Matteo
Roy Keane
Stale Solbakken
Shame Warnock's not on that list. JD
Paul Ince is signing for Blackpool
McGhee (McGee as you say) is now the Scotland Assistant Manager and isn't looking for a return to club management.
I would be happy with either Adkins or Coyle from that list, but to be honest anyone is better than the drivel that we have to endure under Warnock.
Simon Grayson
Out of that list I would only accept, adkins, coyle or di matteo. rest of them wouldn't touch with a barge pole.
David O'leary.
Most of this lot are available for a reason, or series of reasons.
Roy Keane? Pass the sickbag.

Have a word with urself most of them have failed at this level and below i'd have di matteo or adkins
Grayson is the man!
ltkk
Funnily enough as our defence is looking stronger Grayson may be a fair choice!
At least we played good attacking football.
Personally it has to be Adkins or di matteo for me though (from that list) keane ha ha!
White teeth
You've left off mr Grayson, whoops!

Grayson, Adkins, Di Matteo or Coyle for me. In that order too! I know it's said that you should never go back, but I think Grayson was sacked way too soon. He has a good pedigree of going into a club and getting them promoted from where there are. Perhaps time away from the club, and more importantly, coming back to a chairman who won't slit his throat at every opportunity, is what is needed
Would Steve Kean even interest you?
All failures for one reason or another and anyway we don't have a managerial vacancy niels doing the best he can with jokers that are supposedly running this great club, we all know he has been there and done it all before let's get behind him and the team as the song goes marching on together
O'leary or Grayson is my vote MOT

o leary all day long, gives youth a chance.
Your forgetting one crucial factor in all this. Ken Bates, lying scheming old b. d, told Warnock lies all along the way, what happened to the " wait while the January window that's when we will invest in strengthening our squad? Becchio swap For Morrison plus 200 grand, Warnock free transfer and some unkown from Begium who I can't even be bothered talking about, and now the new owner's are trying to sell us on for a quick profit?

What an uninspiring list -was it posted with tongue firmly in cheek? Of those, only Adkins, and possibly Di Matteo, would be even worth considering. Personally, I'd wait until the summer for Poyet, who would be capable of building a team based on a sustainable strategy; or Lambert, if he becomes available. If Neil goes now, I could see the merits of O'Leary as a caretaker, as it would probably give us the chance to find out about our upcoming youth. Chapel A

Oleary only did well because firstly George graham sorted the defence and secondly he had loads of money to spend.
Both the things you say are true - Graham did a great organisational job, and O'Leary did benefit from money. However, there was a third element to his success -the success of his youth policy. Arguably, things started to go wrong for O'Leary when he was given serious dosh to spend (from Ferdinand onwards, through to the madness of Fowler and Johnson). The wonderful free-flowing football of 1999-2000, built around youth, was arguably the high point of O'Leary's management. The 5-2 thrashing of Man City that season in the Cup was a perfect case in point -witness the wonderful technique shown by the youthful Kewell and Bridges, amongst others, in that match. Chapel A
What have any of these managers ever won compared to Warnock?
Support him, don't destroy him!
SA.
What about Moyes, he is out of contract in summer and if Gfh flip the club for profit, why not. He manages well on a shoe string budget

What is all this o'leary stuff! He was part blame for our downfall, the youth side was down to grey, he never won anything for us and did a 5h1t job at villa, where's he now? Far east! Let him stay there. APN-ING63
Bring back Eddie Gray
What's with the love of Warnock? Hoofball? I say O'Leary
What has any of these managers won compared to warnock? are you kidding?
di matteo won last seasons errr what's it called? oh yeah CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Eddie gray is a puppet and judging from his commentary he's lost he's plot anyway
O'Leary? Please tell me you're having a laugh. He's proven since Leeds that he can't manage without a massive budget. The youth system Wilkinson set up blossomed just as he took over, coupled with ridiculous spending and he still failed to win anything.
Joe Jordan!
Howard wilkinson, is available
Id wait and see what happens at wigan and see if martinez is available- put the blue print in swansea while he was there and look at what they've achived-and at least we-d get to watch decent football
