Names on the list at the moment are...

Duncan Fletcher
Strauss
Hussain
Vaughan
Stewart

Personally I think it is good he is gone, but we need to kick out the selectors to.
Whittaker doesn't seem up to it, Fraser and Newall are conflicted...etc

I would like to see Mark Butcher having a leading role.

there is a big job for the new MD

Hope they're going to think it through and not just go for a populist outspoken ex England player for the sake of it.

I wouldn't have a problem with Strauss or Vaughan, they know what it's like to win and they should still have a knowledge of most of the players be it from international duty or from the county circuit.

MD post to be replaced by new role director of England cricket. Looks like a more cricket focussed role. Downtown was out of his depth having been working in the city for 20-odd years.

Michael vaughans thrown his hat in the ring just now on sky...

Please not Vaughan. The last thing we need is that Dingle retard running cricket

All that talk of elite performance does sound suspiciously like flower.

Needs to be someone fresh is the most important thing in my view, Vaughan is probably just about long enough ago (although probably not him please). Strauss would be too close to the current bunch and managing methods.

Strauss allegedly got great respect from the players, I don;t think he's close to Moores.

I keep hearing Gough mentioned - what pedigree does he have, he was pretty wild and emotional as a player?
