No, Sheena has ruled herself out via carrier pigeon.

Sol Campbell leads the bookies list😱
That would be as depressing as a penalty shoot out in Burslem.

Good options that fit the same criteria as last time: James Rowberry (albeit in work), David Artell, Matt Taylor (the Swindon/Walsall one).
More experienced catches: Michael Appleton, Michael Flynn.
Then the unknown youth coaches.
Known youth / reserve coaches: Carrick, Beale. Surprised if Carrick would come south for a smaller job, having thought about it. Lincoln is at least up there.
Whoever it is, the back room is going to be vital as well. Just do it quickly and get it right. Easy, right?

He’s still there and I don’t expect it to happen, but then I didn’t expect us to get the caliber of Reed and Williams playing for us last season, so you just never know

People calling some names mentioned varying degrees of unrealistic (Carrick, Dyche, Mason, etc.) but I would argue we've appointed many managers that would have seemed unrealistic at the time and even in the fourth tier.
If someone told me Di Canio would be our new manager during the Paul Hart season, I'd definitely have laughed at you. After the Iffy Onoura season when the club was in absolute tatters, we had both Wise and Sturrock, neither of which I'd had considered very realistic at the time.
I'm not old enough to comment, but how realistic was Lou Macari for us in the fourth division in the 80s? I'm not even sure how realistic Hoddle or Ossie for a second tier club would have seemed before it happened, in hindsight.
The likes of Carrick and Mason actually fits what we've previously been known for as well. Even without the loan links, its the type of manager we usually give a chance and do well with.

Forgot about ex Liverpool manager Roy Evans too. Must have seemed pretty pie in the sky if you'd had said it to someone in 2000 (not that he stayed long)
