The managers that have had any kind of success at SAFC over the last 30 years or so have had experience in the English game. Granted some experienced managers haven't don't it, but I'd want someone who has experience of getting a team out of the Championship.

Here's 10 years of Championship promotion experience. Which of these could you realistically see becoming our Head Coach?

23/4: Enzo Maresca and Kieran McKenna

22/3: Vincent Kompany, Paul Heckinbottom and Rob Edwards

21/22: Marco Silva, Scott Parker and Steve Cooper

20/21: Daniel Farke, Xisco and Thomas Frank

19/20: Marcelo Biesla, Slaven Bilic and Scott Parker

18/19: Daniel Farke, Chris Wilder and Dean Smith

17/18: Nuno Espírito Santo, Neil Warnock and Slaviša Jokanović

16/17: Rafa Benitez, Chris Hughton and David Wagner

15/16: Sean Dyche, Aitor Karanka and Steve Bruce.

14/15: Eddie Howe, Slaviša Jokanović and Alex Neil.

Eddie Howe, Rafa Benitez or Chris Houghton. In that order.

I'd like to see them go for Steve Cooper with him being available, but the club would need to show some financial ambition for that to happen.

Maresca and McKenna won't leave Leicester and Ipswich.

Kompany and Edwards are likely to stay and rebuild Burnley and Luton regardless if they go down.

Silva is unlikely to leave Fulham unless the Saudi league comes calling again. Parker and Cooper would be expensive as you say and it would take some serious financial ambition to attract them.

Farke and Frank aren't leaving Leeds and Brentford respectively. Xisco is likely to have the option of a further year in Slovakia.


Biesla has got the Uruguay job, can't see him giving that job up to return to club football. Bilic is on a fortune in Saudi.

Wilder will want plenty of dosh even if he isn't retained by Sheffield United and has done a dismal job in the last couple of years. Dean Smith has got a cushy job in the states and being handsomely rewarded for it.

Nuno is likely to stay at Forest even if they are relegated and having managed in Saudi previously will want a hefty package to jump straight back in if Forest do get rid. Jokanavic was handsomely rewarded for a spell in Qatar and has done nowt for a good few year. Warnock is more than semi-retired.

Wagner is unlikely to leave Norwich even if they aren't promoted. Can't see Dyche leaving Everton anytime soon with all the uncertainty around their future.

Benitez, Howe, Bruce, Hughton and Neil we can rule out for obvious reasons.

That leaves one realistic appointment who has had a Championship promotion in the last 10 seasons.... it's Paul Heckinbottom.

You've probably answered the question with that..... Heckingbottom it is then.

We won’t be appointing a manager.
FL or PL experience is among the least of my worries concerning any new HC. The list of gaffers with “any kind of success” without FL and/or PL experience is a very long one.

We’ve been shite for the vast vast majority of time since WW2 which leads me to believe we have been doing something wrong. We need to catch up with the clubs who are doing something right. A forrin feller may be the answer or he may not but I’ve had my fill of journeymen and managerial merrygoround types. Let’s go wild for once…
