More likely Ruben Amorim at this rate.

Russell Martin will be available soon, I reckon.
Would take him in a heartbeat.

Marco Silva would be my shout. Plays attractive football, is used to having to get a tune out of an average team. Not a chance Sullivan and him would get on.
If not him then the Bournemouth manager Iraola as despite being a small fish they constantly perform well in games even if they don't win all of them. I want to see a team perform, I want to see a system that produces excitement, players who believe in it and some desire across the squad instead of it being just one or two players.
Potter hasn't delivered a system and although seemingly building a happier team, he has frozen out players, dithered with others and presides over some of the most disjointed and passive football in the league.

Trouble is, which compounds our situation, that the best manager to keep us up short term is not going to be one that we’d want past the end of the season.
The manager we want vs the manager we need are likely to be two separate things right now. Which just makes things even worse.

Robbie Savage. Clearly the best manager out there Sullivan can afford. But he is in contract and even at National League level the buyout may prove too much.

Ange? Can you imagine his high line with the most ponderous defence and midfield in the history of the Premier league. We'd concede 5 a game!

The final nail in the coffin was it being the first year the transfer window was introduced and Roeder couldn’t just buy a player when he needed. I don’t think clubs were used to stocking up and having a squad to deal with eventualities. All these factors just doomed us from what I remember.regarding away games, he (Paolo) was in the squad against Spurs, Chelsea, Sunderland, Fulham, Villa, Leeds, West Brom & Birmingham (8)
So missed half of our away games. Through injury?? It was always odd. I thought that Roeder couldn’t control him and he just did what he wanted. But was crucial not having him in those games.

I suspect the role is, as has already been mentioned, a poisoned chalice and every manager in the west will know it.
Sullivan will have to turn to someone somewhere like China or the Middle East - America even, who only has experience of the PL through television and is unaware of the way the club mis-operates.
6 months then rinse and repeat.
Sullivan will prove his ways are correct - he will, He Will, HE WILL!!!

The most realistic option is either Cooper or Dyche.
I'd prefer Dyche out the two!

Its a poison chalice as unless it happens imminently whoever comes in will be stuck with a squad that is well short of the standard.
Even in January there is no guarantee Sullivan will back to the new man in the transfer market although by that time we could be neigh on relegated.
I guess whoever comes in will have to be shrewd tactically and find a system to compensate for the deficiencies in the squad else else we are doomed.
A thoroughly depressing state of affairs tbh.

Sullivan will probably appoint Russel Martin after he's sacked by Rangers.
