I'd much rather take Sunderland but aside from that there aren't too many great options.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Not gonna say the scores from now on but the race has tightened up.
What's the score atm?
If I was to get the Sunderland job, would I lose my shortlist?

Yep. Best to write players down in case you get the job.
Mmm. Do I potentially waste an hour or so writing about 300 names down then not get the job or do I risk it, get the job and spend hours finding them all again.
Stupid game ha.Yeah it's a tough question. I know when I quit the game for about an hour a few years ago to try and get @RedSky back (he left briefly), that I regretted it as I lost my whole shortlist.Mmm. Do I potentially waste an hour or so writing about 300 names down then not get the job or do I risk it, get the job and spend hours finding them all again.
Or you know...screenshots.Mmm. Do I potentially waste an hour or so writing about 300 names down then not get the job or do I risk it, get the job and spend hours finding them all again.

You can loan out 89s Damo? 
Yep, thanks to the rises of Matip and Dier.You can loan out 89s Damo?
That's crazy
, well done man.Thanks. Just a shame some of my players have stalled (like Shaw and Zouma) or it could be a lot more.That's crazy
Can I take Shaw if I go to Southampton?
Huh? But yes, any club in Division 2 can take him. Possibly a Division 1 club too if I know he'll get regular football.
All this talk makes me think wino is winning. I'm worried 
Been a long first week back at work. Meant Sunderland, but he will only be on the bench? If not it's fine. They only have Lahm who can play left back if I remember without looking.Don't get too worried mate. It's me who has started all this talk. Sure it will be in vein. Bit of a pessimist these days.All this talk makes me think wino is winning. I'm worried
Voting closed. Sunderland's next manager is...
Well...
@2 Man Midfield! The Morecambe manager registered his interest in the position the same day as Wino and won a closely fought contest. Commiserations to Wino and P-Nut. Let me know whats going on with regards to West Ham.
@2 Man Midfield congtats mate. Knew it to be honest. Thanks to whoever voted for me though.
Now need someone to loan Ederson
Yep congrats @2 Man Midfield
Now I need a team to take over so I'll take West ham if that's OK @Damien ?
Thanks, same goes to those who voted for me.
Yeah. I think there's still a few transfers from the draft to go through though:
Morecambe - Andre Gray
Leicester - Fabian Schar
Hereford - Gelson Martins
Though with 2MM going to Sunderland I guess the Andre Gray transfer is off.
How come Immobile went to Leeds for £1.7m LESS than his face value? 
How did that happen?
How did that happen?When I did the transfers I made sure the bids were in accordance. Maybe he had a playing concern so his face value went down? As he went to a new club, the concern was removed and face value increased again.How come Immobile went to Leeds for £1.7m LESS than his face value?
Ntep with L2 concern value - £6.4M
Other 24/88's value - £8M
Other 24/88's value - £8M
Oh, please don't think I was suggesting anything was untoward as that wasn't my intention. I did think he had a concern but couldn't see how that would be possible seeing as he was a relatively newish signing and was a top rated player. I also know he played regularly under the old manager. I guess the A.I. must have benched him and he got a concern then.
This
Also Lallana had a rise soon after Barnsley's bid was accepted I think
