Duche has to be considered as possible

Only if we want to take part in his attempt to fill out his dance card for managing every non-top six club in the Prem and make the Guinness Book of Records. Too much like Royball once again for me.

I'm not sure about Thomas Frank anymore as I have come to think he, like Potter, benefited from the infrastructure at his previous club and was perhaps not the main reason they did so well. If the manager leaves and the club continues on without any hiccup at all it does seems to indicate that it is the organisation and not the manager who was the more important piece of the relationship.

So, I don't know. I'm going to go back to banging my head on my desk and see if the answer comes to me once I'm unconscious.

Full disclosure, I voted McKenna in the poll but believe there is zero chance of that happening.
 
Now that Frank is available, I can see Parish pulling the trigger in Feb. The players will step up for the new Manager and we can have a sensible summer window w/o manager in/out noise. I bet they’re already talking.
 
I'd be wary of going for Frank. He will be shell-shocked and could probably do with a break. He could certainly afford it
Nothing suggests Glasner can handle the sort of competition we are likely to meet until the semis or even final and so I don't think we will get that far. Not sure Dyche would be much better in that respect
 
Interesting one. I have always liked Frank, but looking at his Spurs record, and how Brentford have performed since he left, I am wondering how much of his Brentford success was based on the club's statistics-based recruitment rather than his managerial capability. I almost voted McKenna, who I would quite like, but ultimately his only Premier League experience was relegation. I went for Rodgers, who in my view always does well for a couple of year before his teams begin to fail. I think he could give us the chance to rebuild, and then move on.
