    1 - Bury. Spent beyond their means. Went bust. Lots of managers could get promoted that way.
    2 - Plymouth. Didn't get them promoted. Covid did.

    The poll could be changed; however, I'm not sure it's down to Simon Parker to rule them out. His article in the T&A is hardly conclusive. About Graham Alexander, he says:
    Whilst about Danny Cowley, he says:

    Ryan Lowe now 4/7 with Skybet, put a tenner on and you'll only get £15.71 back. Paul Hurst and Sol Campbell have drifted to 6/1. If the odds get any better it's a virtual certainty.

    The usual in depth/no stone unturned journalism from T&A/Parker there.

    Who said anything about Simon Parker and conclusive, there are prime candidates it is now missing and therefore should really be changed or it’s a waste of time.

    If it is Lowe we must be going all in.
    We'll have to pay something for him and he aint coming for nowt or a six month contract.
    Would suggest a minium 2 1/2 year deal and some dosh to splash about.
    Have we found a money tree somewhere ?

    Thought we could only spend the £3/400K left in the salary cap.

    Rupp is worth 100m and will be panicking that his costly investment could be worth nothing soon if he doesn’t pump some more funds in.

    Not necessarily. He’s in a losing run and the directors might see this as a way of letting him go without asking for compensation, unless they’ve got every confidence in him turning it around.

    Transfer fees don't count under the cap though, do they? If we wanted to go down that route.

    Apologies, for some reason I only picked up the bit about removing Graham Alexander and Danny Cowley.

    I've now added the three you mentioned.

    We seem to be doing a brilliant job of ruling managers out
