Martin Allen - My personal favourite, has won this League and seems like a competent manager but the football might not be attacking enough for some
Sean O'Driscoll - Did well at Doncaster, I think won this League, but hasn't really done much in his 3 jobs since then
Paolo di Canio - Won League 2, but with our fiercest rivals and on an astronomical budget. Could be seen as an impact manager, but many disagree with his fascism, and he failed at Sunderland
Graham Turner - Promoted from this League with Shrewsbury and has spent donkey's years in the game. Will he have the drive to do it, though?
Gary Waddock - Another to be promoted from this league, currently coaching at MK Dons
You can think of the rest yourselves

Did also did it with bournemouth . And he was pushed out of Crawley and Forrest after like 6 games so u can't hold them against him. Bristol city were a team On the slide. But hay all wilder had done before us was keep a team up. So they should be judged on points like can they work to a budget, do they believe in promoting youth. Can they spot a player. Rather than just weather they have got a team promotion latley

Looking forward to seeing a list that will also include Kitson and Duberry. Just because they are names that people have heard of.
I'm expecting the unexpected.

The brave, exciting, mouth watering, reckless, raise the profile, bums on seats appointment - oh and a L2 promotion under his belt - is PDC.
Depends what route the club go down. I don't think they will be brave enough to make a Swindon-esque appointment of the past in terms of a young, untried player manage sort.
My personal choice ? As I've stated before I'd give it to Kitson as player manager and draft in Duberry. Bold, dynamic and bags of professionalism.

Richard Money has Cambridge United 2nd in the Conference Premier, 1 point behind Luton Town with a game in hand. That is good, but what is better, and what a lot of people who disliked Wilder will absolutely love, is that he has won every single home League game this season. Played 12, won 12. If we could attract him I think a few fans would be happy, looking at his record

I don't want anyone with his political views anywhere near my club. And he's a cheque book manager who would probably resign two weeks after signing. There are plenty of options open to us and more than BY list above.

I'm not saying I want him, just pointing out that he's the sort of colourful appointment that I don't think IL would go with despite the obvious attraction in terms of profile. I have to say I do favour a slightly risqué appointment rather than a drudgery one. We've had too many seasons of low profile and coverage and I'd like to see the place lifted by a bit of exposure, panache and devilment. Robbie Fowler is hawking himself around for the Shrewsbury job. Why not here ? People say no experience but SAF, Mourinho and Wenger all had no managerial experience at some point.

I know that many would disagree with him coming here and that it most probably won't happen, but could you imagine seeing similar scenes to below if Paolo di Canio's Oxford (as we would be known) scored a last minute winner to elevate themselves to League One, at the expense of Northampton Town (managed by former Oxford United manager Chris Wilder)'s Football League status?

Di Canio Crazy, a total non starter Turner Too much like Wilder, bit of a cry baby Sean O'Driscoll Is the only one I would not rule out, but there are bound to be many applications by the end on Monday night.

o'driscoll has struggled in last few jobs so im on the fence with that choice. id rather see PDC but but again, not a straight forward option. graham turner, hmmm not particularly inspiring is he? martin allen, yes, he has the experience, bit of a disciplinarian so would probably fir better with IL.
hate the fact northampton is last game of season - imagine if we are still unbeaten and need a result and dont get one.

Di'Canio needs to overspend on players before he gets it right. I don't want us to become a laughing stock with that clown in charge.

Oh come on. He's a bit of a c*nt, and a fascist one at that, but wouldn't you at least pop your head over the fence just out of sheer curiosity as to the madness that is unfolding behind it? Were we to appoint him, we would either get automatic promotion or finish about 14th, but it would sure be interesting

Crikey and people wanted Wilder out for one of that lot
Martin Allen - ego the size of the planet and a clown if you ask me
Di Canio - can only be in jest surely
Turner - let's not go down the road of someone who had retired twice
Waddock - turfed out by Aldershot for the appalling football he played
O'Driscoll - well went to Crawley and jumped at the first opportunity a few weeks later. Let's hope we go for someone with a little more sense of loyalty
It's not exactly inspirational is it

OK if none of the above, How about someone likened to fatty Steve Evans.. A new project, a last swansong for Neil Warnock I love his character, his passion, but very unlikely he'd drop this low.

More you look at the options the more problems there are to find a replacement as good as Chris Wilder. Ironic aint it!

Step 1 - Advertise the job Step 2 - See who applies Step 3 - Interview the candidates with the best CVs Step 4 - Appoint the candidate that combines that CV with the best vision for the club under interview.
It worked for us last time. Frankly, none of have any real idea who's going to be any good. When we did this 5 years ago, absolutely noone came up with the name Chris Wilder - and yet he delivered exactly what he was brought to the club to do. Hopefully the same process will work the same trick a second time.
What we shouldn't do is the Kassam method of randomly plucking a name out of the sky based on who he most recently talked to/played golf with/saw on telly.......
