The list is pretty uninspiring to be honest.
Definitely wouldn't want Bilic back. Wouldn't want Russel Martin or Gary O'Neil for different reasons. I think Corberan has had his time too.
As for the others, I'd put most of them in the "punt" category. Little-to-no senior managerial experience, so you could flick a coin if they will succeed or fail. Same as Ryan Mason.
This Eric Ramsay fella must have a good agent. Last week he was going to Strasbourg (part of the Chelsea group) to replace Rosenior. Now he's apparently coming here. Not bad job links for someone totally unknown who has never played the game and spent just a couple of years managing a mid table MLS side.
Being honest, I don't think we're particularly appealing to anyone except a "punt". Our squad is pretty poor and financially we don't have any cash to splash. With that in mind, I don't really have a preference on which punt we go for. Carsley did well in the England setup but is untried as a club manager. Carrick did well at Boro, then poorly and got sacked. Ramsay, I'd never heard of prior to today. Any could go well or badly, but I don't think we could do much worse than Mason tbh.
