Alexander, Challinor or Dyche to replace Heckingbottom?

\n \n [BBC] \n Paul Heckingbottom was sacked as Preston North End manager after the 1-0 home loss to Lincoln City on Saturday. That result was a sixth defeat in seven Championship games so far this season for the Lilywhites, who are second from bottom. We asked who you would like to replace Heckingbottom. Here are a selection of your responses. Chris M: Well his record speaks for itself, he's statistically our worst ever manager. This way we have time to save the season. Rob Edwards for me. Tony: As a PNE season ticket holder it came as no surprise. The football the second half of last season was dire. It had been a little better this season but it is a results business and 5 wins in 29 matches is unacceptable. Someone like Graham Alexander or Sean Dyche would suit me. Phil: Unfortunately it's not worked out for him but his yearly record was very poor. Dave Challinor is available he did a really good job at Stockport. David: Scott Parker has a good track record and did a great job at Burnley. Sacking of any manager is sad but Heckingbottom can't complain. Only other thought is that he should have been followed to the job centre by Peter Ridsdale. Ian: Hecks had to go as this is a results business and the hangover from last season has followed us into this with no improvement in results. Would like to see Graham Alexander back, he understands Preston as a club. Chris B: Gary Rowett or Alex Neil I think would be a good fit for Preston. They can get Preston up and running pretty quickly and this is the perfect time to get either of these guys to sort North End out. Stu: Dave Challinor. Local-ish manager. Never finished outside of the play-offs albeit in the lower leagues. Deserves a chance at this level. Mike: His record over the last two seasons has been awful. Too many unconvincing substitutions have lost matches. Purchase of two recent forwards very poor quality. Roll on Sean Dyche. Andrew: The club need fresh ideas, someone that's attack minded and forward thinking. Steve Cooper would be amazing, I'd even take Wayne Rooney if he had other experienced heads around him like Big Dunc [Ferguson] and David Unsworth. Adam: Feel for Hecky but did feel inevitable after the weekend. The squad is more than good enough to sustain another Championship season really but results have not shown that so far. Steve Cooper would be my ideal replacement out of the names I've seen. Carlos Corberan just came out of a job too but might be too expensive for PNE. Ahmed: Get Steven Gerrard in. He can do a Lampard. Preston not far from Liverpool. Close ties with Liverpool. Do not want to see the same old faces recycled. James: I'm not a Preston fan but one name stands out for me and whilst it may be a long shot, Kieran McKenna would seem the perfect appointment and no doubt would make an instant impact.
