Next Manager Odds
| Odds | Applicant | Form |
| 4-6 | David Webb | Highly rated number 2 and keen developer of youth talent, no hacker (not related to Chelsea's David Webb) and not to be confused with Danny Webb |
| 3-1 | Mike Williamson | Latest in a line of Gateshead managers attracting City's attention |
| 100-30 | Danny Webb | Chesterfield's Number 2, failed Orient manager. Best of the number 2s, except for his Dad, Chelsea's David Webb |

| 13-2 | Piers Morgan | High profile and unlikely to have an opinion, might bring a mate to play for us |
| 7-1 | Tim Ryan | Appointed City's caretaker manager to succeed Askey, he comes into the role on the back of 15-0 and 7-1 wins for his City Under 19 side. The easy option (and can't be worse than Sam Collins or Colin Walker). Wealdstone defeat did him no favours |
| 15-2 | Rob McElhenney | Having sampled the delights of Wrexham, understood to be interested in a bigger, solo managerial role and higher likely to have money to invest. Scouting misson planned for December 3 |

| 20-1 | Simon Weaver | May be available if Harrogate don't improve. Knows how to handle family relationships |
| 20-1 | Richard Brodie | Another popular ex City player, but given he's just started a new job unlikely to want to be considered. Scratch that, have you seen how many clubs he's played for |
| 22-1 | Steve McNulty | Current Witton manager and popular ex City player |
| 25-1 | Gareth Southgate | Possibly available if City can wait a month. Locally based, no problem re-locating |

| 25-1 | Barry Swallow | Successful ex City caretaker manager and later successful wheeler dealer |
| 22-1 | Glen Henderson | Thought to be definitely interested and is believed to have already put out feelers. Unknown how he'd deal with medding from his chairman |
| 33-1 | Liam Henderson | Not a very good striker in his City career |
| 33-1 | Martin O'Neill | Didn't get an interview last time he applied over 30 years ago, unlikely to do any better this time |

| 66-1 | Phil Brown | Experienced lower league manager whose not done well at many clubs |
| 66-1 | Dean Kiely | Regular visitor to York but likely to be swayed by Jon Greening and Richard Cresswell's position |
| 66-1 | Janee Henderson | Limited knowledge of the English game, but could put herself forward |
| 66-1 | Sam Hird | Long lower league playing career and promising start as a coach |
| 80-1 | Daniel Parslow | Far too sensible to apply |
| 80-1 | Nigel Adkins | Managed at many clubs but done no good since Scunthorpe, Russ Wilcox Mark 1 |
| 80-1 | Steve Bruce | Might welcome a return to the north east and proper football. Good experience of dealing with hostile crowds |
