To keep me from slitting my wrists at the thought of Dim Deadwood as our next permanent manager can we add all media speculation of our managerial targets to this thread.
I will kick things off...

Former Holland international ticks all the boxes for Franco Baldini in terms of playing good football and developing youngsters
Showing his metal: De Boer lifts the Eredivisie trophy last May

Frank de Boer is top of Tottenham’s wanted list to become their next manager.
Spurs' director of football Franco Baldini has identified Ajax boss De Boer as the perfect fit to develop young players, play stylish football and show a glittering CV.
It is understood discreet enquiries have already been made to sound out De Boer and his advisers about the vacancy created at the White Hart Lane club on Monday by Andre Villas-Boas' departure.
De Boer’s assistant at Ajax is Dennis Bergkamp - a hero at Spurs' bitter rivals Arsenal - and it remains to be seen whether he would also be part of any potential set-up.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has put Tim Sherwood in temporary charge and is believed to be ready to give him a proper crack at the job.
But De Boer would be their preferred big-name appointment and given any encouragement they may be ready to make a formal approach.
De Boer has been a huge success at the Amsterdam side, winning the Dutch title and adding to his reputation as an outstanding player.
The 43-year-old was sounded out in the past by Liverpool but stayed loyal and Ajax will be reluctant to let him go now.
