On the League Managers Association's website here you can find a list (at the bottom of the page) of all the available managers. It makes fairly depressing reading if you are looking for a new manager.
There are 4 options;
1. One of the old guard from that list, take your pick from Hoddle, Houllier, Newell, Jewell, Megson, Roeder, Warnock.
2. Nick somebody from another club. If they are currently successful at Championship level then why would they come? Or take a risk and go for another 'up and coming' manager from a lower league or with little experience at Championship level.
3. Give somebody their first managerial appointment.
4 Somebody we've never heard of from abroad.
The more I think about it, the more I think we're deep in the shite.
From option 1, I think Jewell and Houllier are the stand out candidates. Can't see Houllier coming and Jewell has said on numerous occasions that he wants to take time out and anyway I think he could still attract a Premiership club.
From option 2, who? Grayson perhaps, but anybody from the lower leagues is likely to take time to settle in and MM seems to have shortened his timescale.
Option 3 is I think too risky and I can't think of any stand out candidates.
Option 4. You never know with MM.
It's dawning on me that Warnock may be our best option.
