I think Flynn would be a realistic choice for us - he's proved he can spot a good player at League 2 level, so I feel it should follow that he can do so at Championship level as well. People say he is an honest bloke who is popular with fans and his players alike and given the way he can get his team up for cup ties against Premier League sides, he appears to be a good man manager - County put us to shame when you compare their attitude when playing at home to Man City last season to ours.
Also, I wouldn't be put off by Nathan Jones' imminent sacking from Stoke - we could do worse than choose him.
