Liverpool, Aberdeen, Southampton, Cardiff, Doncaster, Exeter

Of that list, I would say Cardiff and Liverpool are the most likely. It depends on how much overlap their is with their own markets at Manchester/Bristol.

Then the big question is whether they want to try Gatwick at some stage. The south-east is about the only area of the UK they don't serve from existing bases, so i'm sure they could make it work. Getting enough slots to make it worthwhile might be the biggest obstacle.
interesting thoughts and agree that the south/south east is not yet served by them and would probably be high up on their wish list. Of those highlighted, maybe SOU with their runway extension and no direct competition, also has a large catchment area!!
