Would give Davey longer but what about... John Ward - carlisle - incredible win ratio wherever he's been Darren Ferguson - Peterborough - backed with money but delivered plus would raise clubs media image Phil Parkinson - Chralton assistant - did great work at Colchester but admittedly failed at Hull Steve Cotterill - well though of by Burnley fans John Sheridan - plays football how it should be. If you did appoint someone it would have to be on the basis of playing good football, and you would have to give them time to bring in there own players, staff and culture which may mean we would go down in the short term. Consequently I'd stick SD and see if he turns it around. Any thoughts on the above though?
