If we take into account regular/ semi regular posters... SD probably is the most logical choice from the mod's perspective to replace NKNG.
Spurly - my brother but he'd destroy this board when removing all the rules and filters thus allowing all our Prem board degenerate pals to flood the place.
Hudd - thinks he truly is Tom Huddlestone, dual persona, we can't have loonies running the asylum.
RCL - how the **** are you even a candidate?! You'd be as bad as me

Brian - has gone full on Sith level evil against Levy and if anyone mentions anything positive about the guy he'd lifetime ban them.
TCM - openly admitted to having an odd sense of humour on this very thread, mods need to be normal, or as close to normal as possible.
CK - flounces way too much, wouldn't be around to ban anyone.
King - many of us have pessimistic traits but King's level knows no bounds. Would ban anyone for saying something optimistic.
Power - still rates Winks and Sisosko, should be banned (or burned even) for that, not promoted to mod status.
Maggie - far too nice, would give people 15 chances and still not ban them.
Audrey - basically admitted to being Santa. When we're making a fool of ourselves on Xmas eve they'll be too busy delivering presents to mod us.
Roo - be too busy analysing transfer targets plus successes and failures to remember he's actually gotta mod.
HBIC - would create even more nicknames that none of us would understand, probably even give all of us one too if given mod status.
RD - Mr data guy would create a (faulty) algorithm that'd ban people for specific things and we'd lose half the board.
TO - too busy looking after Tilly that they won't be able to look after us.
PTP - would pull the plug on the whole site... Geddit? GEDDIT?!
RWAEB - comes from a place that calls football "soccer"... So that's an instant no!
Alfie - rumour on the grapevine is that he's a Con(n) artist. (Man I'm good).
Smithy - the absolute legend of the whole site, being a mod is beneath him.
LOTS - forgets when Spurs are playing at times, would therefore forget to mod.
Perryman - predominantly only posts on the
Prediction thread, so I
predict they won't be a great mod.
Vim - too busy fighting the refereeing injustices of the world to care about modding the board.
Bajan - likely catching rays in Barbados (assuming that's where the name comes from?)... Who'd wanna mod this board when they can do that?
Deedub - is literally a baby (judging by the avatar pic)... A baby would be a better choice than most of us, mind.
Lockstock - chilling with Guy Ritchie and the rest of the cast.
BFB - you really want someone from Wales running this board? Come on now!
CmJ - has cracker in his name, means crazy in my eyes.
And then there's me - absolutely perfect for the role but this board doesn't deserve perfection.
Hopefully I've mugged just about everyone off. If I've forgotten you, my apologies.
