Burley is the stand out candidate but the one thing we know about him is that we won't appreciate having a director of football getting in his way- leaving Saints and Derby for just that reason.
Edited - Which I only mention as there has been some talk of such things happening at Swindon, not because I know anything other than that.

Burley would certainly mean we play attractive football. Maybe he might bring in Richard Naylor as player/assistant?
Wonder what the wage/transfer fund demands of some of the candidates might be?

Gus McPherson interests me. Did a good job with St. Mirren.

I've got to admit for the first time I'm a bit stumped on who I would choose out of that list. Burley was my first choice and probably still is but I can't help thinking the guy has been out of sorts for a long time, scotland was a disaster in keeping his players in order and I've read how the players at palace complained the organisation of the club has picked up dramatically since he left. I've yet to sit and look back at his time with Derby and Saints. He's got the credentials but I'm still not sure whether he would connect and understand the club like Trollope or Bodin would.
Paolo would be a roller coaster ride for sure and exciting, maybe that's what we need right now, I'm not sure Burley would give us that but his style of football could be the answer although not that many clubs play their way out of league 2.
Not bothered with the oxford connection with Magilton at all, there are far worse people on that list, Rix is a pointless one and if that means we lose out on Hoddle's academy players so be it, It's just not a decision the board can go down as if things start to go wrong there will be no patience whatsoever and we'll have a Mcmahon situation on our hands.
If we had not have gone down, I would have just told Wray to go and Grab Tisdale from Exeter and save us all a lot of time.
Bottom line is we have to have a manager this time who's a likeable fellow with a understanding of the club and league 2 and an absolute passion to succeed with us, not just a stepping stone.
Forgot about Ricard Money, I doubt he's in the frame but a great choice if luton fail

I don't know. Part of me would want Di Canio, just to try something a bit different. It would be a big call.
If we want a sensible option I wouldn't want Money. Trollope and Burley would do. Trollope's got all the credentials the board are looking for.
Magilton and Rix aren't good enough.
I think the three the board are considering are Di Canio, Trollope and Burley. It's one of them.

Some back room experience...and now probably looking to go alone.
Would be well excited, if there was a bit more substance to it.
Pat Rice? Out of contract this summer...

I would like to see George Burley at the club. When he was managing Ipswich, his daughter went to a school in our town and she crashed her car into my Mum's Landrover.
His daughter is FIT and this is why he should manage us.

I hope he has a daughter called Saffron. That'd be brilliant.
