Are these the managerial options?

It’s perhaps quite ridiculous that we’re currently debating who the suitable candidates should be to replace Sam Allardyce if or when he leaves the club.

But there’s no hiding away from the fact that, if results don’t start improving in the next couple of weeks, Big Sam could be shown the door by David Gold and David Sullivan. There appears to be a large number of supporters who will be glad to see the back of him, while others are equally eager to see him remain at the club and turn things around.

Allardyce’s managerial credentials point to an imminent revival and another mid-table finish but, as the weeks fly by, there comes a point when you have to wonder whether we can afford to take such a risk. With a move to the Olympic Stadium on the agenda, it is vitally important that we are not only a Premier League club, but also one challenging in the top half of the division at the very least.

Is Sam Allardyce the manager to ensure that happens? Or would one of the below be a better option for us?
