I'd take Koeman in a heartbeat...... Perhaps we’re waiting for Everton to sack him so we don’t have to pay compensation.

Moyes and Pardew are two names that have very little backing, but then Pulis was not a popular choice when first appointed, but whatever people might think of him now, he turned out to be the right man at the right time. Similarly not many fans wanted Hughes but he did a good job for the first 2.5 years that he was here. I think both Moyes and Pardew fit the criteria that Peter Coates will be looking for and while the fans wouldn't be pleased I think they are both capable of doing a good job. Big Sam would be my first choice but I'm not convinced that he would want the Stoke job.

It'd be a sideways move at that point, essentially. On about rowett? Yeah. If he takes Derby up and cements them in mid table by keeping them up, why would he leave that for a mid table Stoke side? We're not rich, he'd have a solid project there. He may as well to try to push on with Derby. That's all.

Koeman available soon, bilic, klopp maybe at this rate, Mourinho at the end of the season?
Any other club want their manager out? Maybe quicker to name those that want to keep their's.
Edit. Klopp maybe after today?

Southampton didn't try to hard to keep Koeman Interesting article on him in the Mail yesterday. Very much a control freak, keen attention to detail (something Bill Shankly said was most important*). A distant sort of person who does not get close to people. Can be socializing with people one night then blank them the next morning. After today's result he could become available, but I think he will want a break and wait for a bigger job to come along, like West Ham or Newcastle. * When Shankly was asked what is the most important quality of a manager, his answer was "pay attention to the detail, while everyone else is worrying and dealing with the major issues" (or words to that effect.) A few more Shankly quotes: www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/03/bill-shankly-quotes.html

Has anybody mentioned Roy Keane? He would get amongst the idle bastards. Wouldn't have to wait till half time to get a reaction from the team. A bit of old fashioned no nonsense discipline might give some of them the kick up the arse they need!

Wilder at Sheff Utd is the Championship flavour of the month at the moment, and I've read lots of good stuff about him. Can't see him leaving his hometown club and the team he supports while he's got them riding high with a chance of promotion though? Allardyce (Pretty sure he'd be the No.1 choice - but does he want it and has he got the hunger for a Groundhog Day salavage operation with a Premier League small fry, just to prove he can do this one more time when he can stay on the beach in the Algarve? He doesn't really need the hassle) Jokanovic (really liked watching Fulham last season, doing okay this season, but not great) Galtier (great record at St Etienne, defensive organiser, looking for a club, says he wants to work in England - but would Coates really plump for someone who's never managed a game here? Probably not) www.theguardian.com/football/2017/apr/24/st-etienne-ligue-1-money-rennes-christophe-galtier-crowd-troubleMichael O'Neill (not sure he's quite proven enough but probably attractable if NI don't qualify) Dyche (almost sure he wouldn't come) Wagner (nearly sure he wouldn't come) Rodgers (99% sure he wouldn't come) McInnes (doing great at Aberdeen, but in a shocker of a league) Neil - doing very well at Preston, but reputation suffered in the end at Norwich? Rowett solid CV, defensive organiser, British. Would he leave Derby for us? Vieira (looking promising in New York, knows the league, says he's ready for a new challenge, big name, could attract players, but probably not done enough and not the man to gamble on?) Potter (great story, but surely too much of a gamble?) Moyes Despite Coaates being a fan of his type - not after Sunderland surely? Pardew By virtue of being English and experienced, he'd probably get a mention but hopefully no more than that Tuchel (no chance we could attract him) Koeman (seems a surly oddball, but did well at Southampton. Not sure) Roger Schmidt (great record at Leverkusen, but on mega, mega money in China, which probably rules him, Pellegrini and AVB out) Coleman (not for me) Giggs No job for a novice surely? Particularly one as unimpressive a speaker on the game as him Fonseca ( www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/10/16/shakhtar-donetsk-manager-paulo-fonseca-increases-prospect-everton/ Looks a very interesting manager. Probably be looking above us though? Mancini - on maga, mega, mega money in Russia. Wouldn't give us a second glance Sanchez Flores (not doing great in Spain)

My 2 top picks are out straight away, wth Coates bigoted British manager only policy.
Thomas Tuchel - Priority No. 1. Free agent, but would he fancy us? A crack at the perm at a solid club like ours must be a draw. Ronald Koeman - is it too soon? Is he out of fashion now?
Either or would infinitely improve us, as would many others. But people shouting out Ancelotti, Mancini etc are kidding themselves. And making our fanbase appear deluded.

One excuse trotted out not to replace the clearly clueless and casual Hughes, is that there are no replacements available, So here’s a shortlist to start with. Feel free to add others: Giggs Rowett Pardew Allardyce Tuchel Laudrup Moyes Coleman Mazzarri Blanc Shearer Shakespeare Phelan Crooks although as others have pointed out, maybe Adam could step up? Giggs - Relegation Rowett - Relegation Pardew - LOL Allardyce - Could do a job, but would only want him here till end of season Tuchel - Who? Laudrup - Not British so will not an option Moyes - Relegation Coleman - Relegation Mazzarri - See Laudrup Blanc - See Laudrap And the response to the last four - You have got to be feckin kidding Shearer - Shakespeare Phelan Crooks Hardly any of them have any prem experience, some of them have little or no management experience full stop. Half of your list do not want to manage even if we asked them, It's a list that scares me death quite frankly - certainly not an argument for plenty to choose from. Its hanging on to Hughes which scares me to death !!

Then contemplated the fact he's Unattached and I don't see him being linked with anyone bigger. The guy did great at Mainz and surely as I say, to manage in the prem is a draw for him. But again, like I said. It won't happen anyway. Just would be my main target.

Three names I'm surprised haven't been mentioned are Louis van Gaal, Martin O'Neill (if Ireland don't qualify for the World Cup), and Steve Bruce.
This is not an endorsement of them.
