Links to Martinez and Howe don't excite me but remember beggars can't be choosers and we would of took anyone over Bruce. Fonseca is an up and coming manager and his attacking brand of football would be loved here but could he really get that working with what is essentially a championship level defence? Gerrard has won SPL but managing in the Prem is a big step up and a gamble. See how Jones does next few games! Expand Fonseca has been managing since 2005. Hardly up and coming The days of 3 years rolling and 8 year contracts is over. If we get someone like Gerrard, Howe or Martinez to steady the ship I'm not really concerned, and they should be more easily replaceable when/if they have taken us as far as they can.
