Alex Neil

Might not be popular with some, but of all the managers listed, this guy probably fits the bill most for what we're looking for. I know some on here don't like him, but here are his managerial stats:

Hamilton - promoted to Scottish Premier (via Play-offs)
Norwich City - Promoted to Premier (via Playoffs)
Sunderland - Promoted to Championship (as champions)

Didn't work out for him at Stoke and Preston admittedly, but at 42 he's the right age, still learning.

Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer Rosenior, just don't think we're going to be able to tempt him with the Sunderland and Norwich jobs up for grabs.
