Allen/Parkinson/Tils on/Grayson

Being honest, and assuming we can't get any of Jewell, Bruce or Hareide, I'd take any of these four. You can't really separate them in terms of likelihood of success: sure, Parkinson has a failure on his CV, but he was VERY highly rated prior to joining Hull - and who's to say Grayson, say, wouldn't suffer here what Parky did at the KC? You can never tell for sure - and more experienced managers with a proven record in the Championship like Adams, Dowie or (it would appear now) Jones have failed somewhere themselves too.

Roeder, though, would be a disaster: his record's almost Duffy or Hamilton-esque; and I don't think Staunton would be a clever choice at all either. It has to be one of the four above (with my hunch having switched from Mad Dog to Parkinson over the last few days) - unless the board have worked the miracle, and somehow landed a genuinely big name.
