Nigel Pearson is the best option on that list, but I'm concerned that none of the managers mentioned (barring Rodgers) are particularly attacking inlcined as is "The Derby Way" according to the chairman. Pearson's Leicester side were great in the Championship, but limited in the prem, so he might be the best option for the now.
Rodgers is a fucking sandwich short of a picnic. I don't think his ego would mix well with other egos above him at the club.
Phillips hasn't held a managerial position, so wouldn't be any better than what we've just had in my opinion.
The unfortunate truth is, there is no ideal candidate available out there that we can realistically get. We could probably afford whoever we want, but whether that person would want to come to the Championship and steady a sinking ship and possibly damage a reputation is another thing.
I'd love to see Igor Stimac back, but don't think he's the right man right now. I reckon it'll be Pearson on a short contract.
