Probably best to make it Benitez-less as he's a long shot and is now supposedly odds-on for Napoli.

don't see the point in losing Pulis for any of the above, if we can't get significantly better than we have we may as well stick with what we have. as for Martinez being favorite that scare the shit out of me, he's as one dimensional and stubborn as the present incumbent.

Dunnit - I've gone for the romantics vote, with OGS as my choice and I'd like his former team mate Gary Neville as assistant manager! But I really want Rafa! Now FM, can you confirm which of the Coates family asked you to do this poll?

I thought about OGS but I think he's managed to turn a title winning side into one which is currently rock bottom...some feat. So in the absence of Rafa (I know I know there is no chance)I have gone for good looks and sharp suits with Martinez.

Hughes for me, would have been Poyet but after what's happened recently I don't want him anywhere near our club.

Gary Neville! One of the brightest, tactically astute, young ENGLISH minds in the game. Perfect. Maybe Phil as player/coach?

Martinez I can't coming to us, he will want a bigger club as he probably believes all the bullshit spoken about him. Mark Hughes, Can't stand him and shite. Rather keep TP Roberto Di Matteo Rather keep TP not a great record either
Gus Poyet Would be a wildcard choice for me, but not proven at this level. Deifence of Suarez laughable.
Martin O'Neill Would have loved at one time not sure now. Gary Neville Hated him as a player, great for England though. Not sure he could manage, good pundit though.
Steve McClaren Possibly best experience and would know exactly how to deal with the players we have (style wise) would it be anti climax, probably good fit for Wolves though.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Not proven high risk for me Neil Lennon Can't sytand this prick rather get relegated than have him
Steve Bould Perhaps will be a good manager, but for me to big a step up for now. Alan Curbishley Not for me, although me be a lower risk, steady apir of hands Dougie Freedman Good for Palace but they had good squad anyway, unsure, big step for inexperience Eddie Howe Don't know much about no comment
Glenn Hoddle Mega high risk, play great 1 in 6 games getting dicked 5-3 in others, if you want entertainment go get him.
For me Pulis deserves another year to improve then have this debate again if required. I could be persuaded by Benitez, but that was never going to happen. Wake up anyone that thinks we were in the running.

Wake up anyone that thinks we were in the running. Surprised at how picky some fans are. Any manager we hire will be a risk apart from someone like Jose Mourinho and that's not going to happen. The biggest risk of all though has to be sticking with TP. Let's not kid ourselves into thinking Pulis is the safe bet and if anything might not work perfectly we should stick with him. If you're cancelling out anyone who hasn't managed, anyone who hasn't managed in the top flight, anyone who has had a dodgy record then you're only leaving the managers that we simply can't attract. Just because we're now safe, we should not forget just how awful Pulis' management has been for most of the season and we're swiftly turning from a boring but effective team, into a boring and ineffective team. We need to get someone in with a positive approach and remember who's currently in charge. I really fail to see how keeping Pulis isn't a massive risk.

Never said Pulis isn't a risk but less than this lot. If I couldn't have Rafa, which we can't. I would have someone like Holloway and that too is a fair risk.

Surprised that so many are keen on Neville. He has no managerial experience.
Good player, great pundit, massive gamble for any premier league team.

Don't think that Pulis was a risk in the short-term.... would keep us up, I believe.
However,
He needs money to spend each and every year to stand still. The next manager will be expected to build from within especially with the fair play rules coming into effect. The question is are any of the above a better long-term answer. For me yes and it was time for TP to be moved on for the long-term benefit of the club, however it is a risk but one which had to be taken.
