Premier League-winning former Leicester City defender Christian Fuchs, who has just overseen Newport's League Two relegation escape , is by far the most popular among the fans who have responded.

Former Foxes boss Nigel Pearson gets a mention among an eclectic group that also includes Motherwell's Jens Berthel Askou, Burton Albion's Gary Bowyer and former Burnley, Everton and Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche.

He knows the set up at the King Power, probably knows some of the junior stars and would be a good move for him one league up. Let's face it, he's done wonders to keep Newport up. Brian: Leicester City need a complete rebuild and I would choose Christian Fuchs to be the man to do the job, supported by someone like Robert Huth, both I'm sure would command respect from players and staff.

Dave: I'd have Nigel Pearson back. He basically put the 2016 squad together, but I'm not sure the owners would have him back. Christian Fuchs would be a nice story as a club legend, but Andy King didn't do such a good job when he had a go.
