Jupiter has an iron core, Mars has an iron core, Earth has an iron core, Venus has an iron core, Mercury has an iron core. and you are telling me that despite the solar system being formed out of the same gas cloud there is no iron core in the sun. I agree that it could not be too large or fusion would suffer, but at this point I am convinced there is one.
The stellar remnant theory, is a bit stupid, but fun science fiction, the solar system is a second generation star system, the presence of iron and heavy metals confirms that. The question then is what happened to the core of whatever star exploded to make the gas cloud that formed the solar system. why would it not form the gravitational center of a new star? This is unlikely because I think that fusion, if any, would be noticeably weird.
I did find some papers by Dr. Oliver Manuel, I agree, a crank, however there are some interesting questions raised.
