Rowett's surged into the lead! Thank God Peter Coates makes the final decision.

The relative popularity of Martin O'Neill's the biggest surprise for me (although admittedly picking from this list isn't much fun!)

Only ones to get sizeable support so far are:
Rodgers 20% Rowett 18% Koeman 17% O'Neill 6% Pearson 5% Potter 5% Pulis 5% Galtier 4%

Putting in names of managers who won't come to Stoke undermines the validity of the poll.

Putting in names of managers who won't come to Stoke undermines the validity of the poll. I tried to keep the obviously out-of-our-range ones to an absolute minimum, Geoff - and tried to make it as Coates-realistic as possible, with a big focus on experienced, attractable Brits Rodgers is a bit fanciful obviously (although I can see him leaving Celtic soon, possibly in the summer and would a top 6 opening be there for him?) - but everyone can vote for three. I left Rafa off now their takeover looks like a go-er, and left most foreigners with no English experience off, as Coates would never go for them.

I think there’s others who would fancy a gonin the Prem like Roger Schmidt and Flores sancez (again) but they would take compensation money to prise out of their current clubs and then a reasonable transfer kitty something I can’t see Coates doing
Others out of work like Laurent Blanc and possibly even Koeman will demand s decent salary and again decent transfer budgets so they probably aren’t even on the radar
Let’s face it he picked Hughes as he was out of work and cheap it worked for a while but if you really want to progress and stay top 10 now you need to invest heavily and after saturdays debacle every thing about stoke at the moment screams “do it on the cheap” unfortunately you know where cheap usually gets you!

Yeah - I think those kind of characters are out-of-range, even if Coates saw them as candidates. Schmidt is on crazy Chinese money, maybe 4 or 5 times what we pay - and Sanchez Flores is struggling in Spain with Espanyol. Koeman possibly is unlikely, but his reputation took a real hit at Everton, and hard to see him walking into a big-paying European job after that? So it could be worth giving him a call at least to see what's what?

You should maybe do another poll and just include the real no-hoper, cheapo, out of work British managers that Coates will undoubtedly go for.

I did include a lot more of those types than I wanted to, to reflect the likely Coates pool. I do think it'll be Big Nige Pearson though!

So it could be worth giving him a call at least to see what's what? Schmidt’s on the crazy money I know but that Chinese league sucks it can’t be very enthralling and you know those Germans like a challenge so I wondered if he might come Koeman is the best ‘out of work’ option he was doing a good job at Southampton building g a team steadily I think he wasn’t really convinced in Everton yet the money was too good to turn down I don’t think Kenwright bringing Rooney back was ideal for him either and he was almost made to spend all Moshari’s money in one window to try to leap to the top four. I think at Stoke he may find the ideal working platform but they’d have to back him moneywise

Not sure how true it is but an Everton mate of mine says Koeman allegedly fell out with a load of the squad there, hence why they were shite for him. Doesn't explain why things didn't get any better after he left though, Unsworth's record was as bad. Prior to this season his record has been impressive. Not sure he'd come but i'd definitely take him.

Brenda has to be first choice, but I still can't see him leaving the comfort of managing Celtic to heaps of silverware every year for anything other than a top 6 job.

No manager of Celtic no matter how successful will get a top 6 club in England. I suppose it's how comfortable he is. He could stay there the rest of his managerial career earning trophies and reputation and probably go down as Celtics greatest ever manager or if he has greater ambitions has to come and earn his reputation back in this country by taking on a club of our size earning another crack at a top 6 club. The thing is he could probably get an international job based on his Celtic career but he isn't going to get a top European job.

The top 3 are running away from the rest, but don't know how realistic they are?
Rodgers 139 Koeman 111 Rowett 108 ----------- O'Neill 40 Potter 35 Pearson 33 Pulis 33 Laudrup 20 Galtier 19

I went for Rodgers, Galtier, and Koeman (in that order).
In reality, I Think Pearson or MON will be much more likely.

I dont think Rodgers ego would allow him to come here, we are so unfashionable?
I have stared at the list for a good long while, read all the opinions on here & the links provided & i cannot come up with a top 3. Major problem i am finding is looking at the candidates against our squad & we are so unbalanced & lacking in options in certain areas that i cant come up with a match, its hard to see where personnel changes can be made as it sits. January is going to be vital to us & it is fast approaching.
