If it's not Williams or Eustace, the only 2 anywhere near on the betting list that could be argued to meet the criteria JL and BT outlined are Lampard and Scott Parker (neither of whom appeal to me). If it's not them then it can only be someone who doesn't meet the criteria that have been laid out or someone leftfield who isn't currently being seen as in the frame at all.

Anyone who is on the shortlist?! 

At this stage we're only going to hear of those not on the list as the club will only say "no" to names, and simply not comment (privately) on names that it could be.

On my NOT list so far I have Williams,Rowett, Robins and Eustace. And thats it. 

Could be anyone else, but as the days go by it would suggest to me its someone in work, and someone that hasn't been mentioned/linked at all by the media, as they'll be holding the name back to keep good relations with the club.

To add to that, I think plenty of managers and coaches won’t fancy working under the Lansdowns after how they treated Nige and how they’ve gone public about wanting promotion this season, despite the injuries and lack of funds. Failure is inevitable against those unrealistic goals. 

And who's to say the available managers won't ask for advice off Pearson? He's a popular man in football treating Nige like they have will make there job alot harder. No one to replace him is even more unbelievable if I was looking for work I wouldn't want be part of this club and that pains me to say it!

Yep

Better not be!

They've had months to plan this appoinement. Patently obvious Nige was not going to survive given the 'nest egg' comment - so appointment of the new man should be seamless.

If we haven't appointed within next 24 hours I shall be gobsmacked. That would mean we were effective pushing and prodding Nige to leave with no one lined up to replace him. While that would be classic Bristol City of the past, I can't believe in this day and age it would happen.

The same thing was said when they sacked LJ. We all saw it coming, albeit different circumstances. The club had ample time to line someone up but dithered for, what was it - 6 weeks?

I wouldnt hold your breath mate. This lot are incompetent, as has been demonstrated time and time again.

If we had someone lined up he would of been in the door Monday or Tuesday still no sign of a new coach and it's Wednesday.I've no faith what so ever.

Agree with @ExiledAjax - On paper we should be a pretty attractive proposition to a new manager.

It would be interesting to know how potential managers view the club's hierarchy though.

Historically, I get the impression that neutrals have seen the Lansdowns as generous owners who are patient with managers. I wonder if this is still the case, or whether recent events make prospective managers somewhat hesitant about taking up a role.

Will managers see us as a bit of a poisoned chalice? Will agents warn managers that working for the Lansdowns can be rather difficult?

I'm honestly not convinced it's more difficult than most managers' jobs I reckon there may be some higher profile managers who want more of a budget than we'd offer but I don't reckon many managers will be more put off by our owner than the owner of any other club they'd be considered for a job with...

If that is true, I feel the three most obvious names we might approach - not saying they'd be interested but that I reckon we might be - are Schumacher, Manning and Mousinho.

Pearson was kind of lined up and that took 5 days to sort. Need a bit of patience, especially if it's someone in a job.

"We understand the importance of appointing a new head coach quickly and an announcement on this will follow in the coming days."

That was a paragraph from QPR site 2 days later a manager from another club joins.They had a plan and it was done quickly..In other words they knew who they wanted they knew ainsworth had to go but they did it in a respectful manner.. Our lot well we've seen it for ourselves.

You can imagine the evil post's headline....
"Neil Warnock will finally get his long held wish to manage Bristol City......"
When he's named until the end of the season. As City Chairperson Jon Lansdown added "We've identified who we want, we just can't get him.... yet".

Anything is possible isn't it? an absolute absolute clusterf*ck of a situation manifested by amateurs aided and abetted by a club legend with more faces than a clock tower.

Even if you're right what has a new manager to lose? 3 year deal, ends badly after 1. Large payoff and the Football World saying 'Well, it's Bristol City and the Lansdowns - what do you expect?"

Money for jam...

Could they have their man already, but they are just giving us peasants the perception that they've been doing their due diligence AFTER Pearson has gone, lengthy process etc etc.

If they came straight out and unveiled a new man on Mon/Tues everyone will know for a fact that they've gone behind Pearsons back whilst he was still here. Even though it is obvious that is what has happened, they will want everyone to think they haven't done that?

Pure speculation mind.

Liam Manning from Oxford I reckon it will be.

Done very well in his 8 months there, staved off the threat of relegation last season and now has Oxford 2nd in the table. 

From wiki:

Manning favours a high possession, high pressing style of football.[14][15]

He has a reputation for developing young players, having spent much of his early coaching career working with the academy sides of West Ham United, Ipswich Town and New York City FC. Manning is credited as having contributed to the development of England international Declan Rice.[4

Well that’s clearly a far better source than Shags and Kid.

It popped up so I posted it. It may or may not be true. 
I haven’t seen any announcement from any source unveiling anyone else - or saying Eustace will NOT be the next manager, so this is all I have to offer.

Nope the bookies are likely just protecting themselves. A sudden surge of bets / large money suggests inside knowledge so the markets will move

Exactly

I should have done my economics masters dissertation on bookies markets instead of the Central Banks. Would have been far more interesting and all the help and expert research I had access to here! 😝
