This is the biggest issue. What promising young Manager (or established for that matter, that may have just had a bad run at their last club) would want to risk coming into this clusterf*** and risk pulling a big club into relegation. No fan would forget or forgive that.

No smoke without fire I guess. The timing of him leaving OM seems calculated.
Iraola plays with the intensity we want similar to Poch. But Bournemouth seem to have a great recruitment team and a board prepared to invest money from sales into new players. He ain't coming here right now, perhaps even in the summer
We may need to forfeit the season with more injuries
Redknapp is 79 and hasn't coached in 10 years since being sacked by Birmingham city for losing 5 games in a row.
I don't know, Doesn't seem wise because he was good for us 16 years ago
Good question. Perhaps logically he'd agree in principle and wait.
One thing that will be fascinating: regardless of what the hell happens with the managerial situation, we'll be playing Woolwich in 12 days. I don't really have any optimism for a result, but we'll find out how much fight/attacking energy the players show without Frank at the helm. I could be wrong but I haven't seen any 'thanks boss' messages on social media in reaction to his sacking. No love lost?
Possible unpopular but reasonable suggestion:
Ole as interim? Big good vibes builder but still authorative.

Is he available? If so, we could do far far worse.
I guess the fact there are at least a couple of CL fixtures coming up could help entice someone to do the interim gig (also cash).
He's probably the best interim we can get.
Marseille have a huge and fanatical fan base that makes their home ground an intimidating place and they are not far off PSG in terms of stature in french football. You would expect any manager to do good things there. It's like saying a manager did good things at Liverpool or United.
Honestly I'd be OK with De Zerbi on an interim basis before bringing Poch back after the World Cup.
Him leaving Marseille within hours of Frank being sacked just seems a bit too convenient.

What does that have to do with anything?
I was pointing out the fact that his post is fiction, nobody at the club actually knows the bloody bloke, let alone 'really likes him'.
Shouldn’t be unpopular he was a fantastic interim similar to Carrick is now. Sets the team up to play to the players strengths and is positive. He just never had the long term tactical dimensions. Long as we don’t employ him permanently it would be ok.
Right now there should be two lists imo. One for an interim (not my preferred choice) that has prem experience (relegation battle survival advantageous) and a another list of full time coaches you believe can do a good job from now. Random that'll do interim with no experience and wait until the summer and reassess is strictly not the way to go here and asking for even more trouble.
I have serious doubts, the same ones I had from the start with Frank except that Frank seems a genuinely likeable guy which De Zerbi isn't, but if he gets the job I will support him obviously.
If anyone thinks De Zerbi or whoever comes in and all the problems disappear is smoking crack.
I’d go either Juergen Klopp or Ryan Mason
Leaning toward Mason as he knows the club better

He's currently out of a job yes. Was apparently between him and Carrick for the United gig.
And I could see him be open to a interim gig even if just to put himself in the window for other PL clubs in the summer if nothing else.
