....Marco Silva to Benfica as his replacement.
Who goes into Fulham?
Tommy Frank? Stevie G? Roy The Boy Hodgson? Full Kit Simons?
Any other potentials? |  |

Frank makes probably the most sense but would he go to another West London club? |  |

....none of them really seem to have any rivalry with each other.
I guess that's because Chelsea hate Spurs and don't really care about the others. | |

Could be good, I keep thinking Fulham are due a relegation battle. |  | | |

I think for clubs like Fulham and Palace the question with McKenna isn't "do we think he would be a good fit/up to it" - it's probably more the case of "in a shortlist of potential managers is he worth the £8m release fee and really high wages compared with the others?"
As I understand it you can't amortise the release fee over a period of time so the £8m hits your accounts straight away. You also can't 'sell-on' the manager at a later date. [Post edited 12 May 16:46]

I guess you can sell a manager, by getting compensation when they leave.
But they dont tend to last that long. |  |

Genuine question, is that actually a problem for any PL club? | | | |

I can only find 11 examples of clubs paying more than £2m in compensation for a manager. This is the likes of Potter to Chelsea and Nagelsman to Bayern.
Probably the 'lowest' examples I could find were Leicester paying £8m to get Rodgers out of Celtic in 2019 and Everton paying £5m to get Koeman from Southampton.
Clubs probably can afford to but why lose that dead money if you can get someone of the same sort of calibre without the fee? | |

Perhaps if the Fulham board were prepared to give him a bit more freedom than he had at Palace then Glassner ? |  |
