I like to believe that they had their reasons for passing on Conte. I mean, I still don't get it, but maybe they are set on somebody that won't be available until the summer (ten Hag, Pochettino) and just hoped they could somehow survive the season with Ole. That ship has obviously sailed, but if they'd still prefer to wait for one of those, then an interim manager for the rest of the season would be fine with me. I have no idea if somebody like Ralf Rangnick would be interested, but I'd be fine with that. Laurent Blanc would be another shout. But really, no idea what the club is thinking.
With Zidane, I always thought he wasn't keen on going to the PL and he'd rather just wait for that French NT job. Not sure how I'd feel about it.
