Newport County are on the hunt for a new manager once again after the club sacked David Hughes.

County are rooted to the foot of the League Two table after just three wins in 16 league games this season.

Hughes' sacking followed a 1-0 defeat away at Shrewsbury on Saturday, but who do you want to see named as his successor?

Here is what you said.

Andrew: "Someone who has a proven track record in keeping a side up. Neil Warnock, Mark Hughes, even if it's just a short term appointment, the top priority is to keep the club in the football league."

Phil: "We need an experienced manager to try and save us."

Ade: "David Hughes has my upmost respect for trying to get a team going that was assembled by someone else. Who should come in? Not Mike Flynn, but someone who has a magic wand!"

Terry: "Huw Jenkins will have to dig deep into his pockets if the club is to get in someone such as Darren Ferguson. Mike Flynn has been sacked by Walsall, Swindon and Cheltenham since he left in 2021, so it would be a big mistake if he was brought back."

Mike: "Unfortunately whoever the manager is it's the recruitment that has been the problem. Really concerned, I feel if we go down to the National League it will be the end."

Ian: "I would like to see Michael Fynn back and try to reintroduce confidence back into the side."

Kevin: "Even Jurgen Klopp would have a job to get County out of this mess!"
