Sherwood by a day
Reading the guardian a presumably well respected fan gave Newcastle a decent score in the "how your team did this season". Unless he is being ironic I'm guessing a few may agree.
No team that isn't Stokian is going to want Big Sam as their leader so the West Ham fans will want shot.
I'd expect Sherwood to go purely as he is hatstand crazy, just not sexy enough for the board and a bit crap.
Mind you I know a kiwi who worships football but has only come to one Phoenix match, "not really proper football" who believes Sherwood is the next messiah based on some stats he read on wiki. He is completely serious.
