Would take Flava Flav ahead of Stevie G.

Gerrard was infamous for having zero tactical awareness on the pitch.  has he improved this as a manager?

With it looking likely that it’s a quick appointment it points to the fact the the incoming chap is readily available.

I’ll go for Fonseca

Because there isn’t an outstanding candidate, I would give one of the unemployed managers a deal to the end of the season, (we’d have an option for another year).  They get a “massive” bonus if they keep us up.  All parties should win and be sufficiently motivated.

So take your pick from Nuno/Koeman/Fonseca/Farke

I just feel we will get a better manager in the summer.

yep. Who knows who will out of a job in May or looking for a new challenge

I guess we’ll find out how ambitious the owners are now. Are they prepared to bring in a top, highly rated coach (Fonseca) or a Dean Smith slight improvement (Potter, Lampard). Hopefully the former

I'd be up for Fonseca or Koeman now, without the need to offer them a caveat of "you've only got until summer". If they come in and do really well, say finish top seven or eight or even, stop laughing at the back, win the cup, why would you not want to keep them on?

If they barely avoid relegation, pay them off and get someone better in the summer.

Very good list of Noes, Tony. All for different reasons, but I don't think any of them are what we look like we need.
