Premiership manager of the year

[77dave]

Coppel done a really good job, but I'd suggest he had more resources than Jewell, might be wrong on that though?

I think so. Wigan spent £5.5m on Heskey and £5.3m on Koumas.

Reading's record signings are Halford* and Fae for £2.5m each.

jewell got wigan to the league cup final and the signings arrived after survial in the premiership



* Only Premiership team to have sold their record signing after three appearances?

If Redknapp finishes 5th in the league and wins the FA cup will this be the best performance by an english club manager since Howard Wilkinson won the League title?

Trust a Liverpool fan to forget Joe Royles 1995 FA Cup winning Everton side...

good shout Nem  im sure Joe's achievements are up there  not many other englishman in the past 15 years.

Do his dealings and transactions really make any differece when it comes to manager of the year, football is corrupt at every level.  Infact not only football but big business in general.  Redknapp has by far been the best manager in the EPL this year and he should have got the England job before that fool McLaren.

But at the time of the England managers vacancy, McClaren was the most appropriate Englishman to take the job. He did very well at 'boro and had been in the England set up as a main coach through the SGE reign.

Not so sure Nem, that was always one of the problems for me with McClaren was that he was part of the SGE campaign there was no charisma with him, and I don't think he achieved all that much at Boro.  Anyway its bye the bye, and I think it was a lesson learnt by the FA in appointing McClaren. 

I don't ever think Harry will ever be considered for the top job due to some of the speculation that surrounds him, but I still believe he is the best man for the job, I don't think Capello will achieve much and after the next qualification merry-go-round England may well be looking for another manager.

lol @ Redknapp being a better choice than Capello

I said he was a better choice than McClaren dumbass.  Further I said I believe him to be the best man for the job, I never said he was  better choice than Capello thats yet to be confirmed. 

We sha'll see what Capello achieves first.  Although Harry and Fabio are as corrupt as each other.

Indeed he did - cracking achievement.

However, they did spend £8m+ before the 05/06 season on Camara, Francis, Taylor, Skoko, Pollitt, Henchoz, Connolly and Chimbonda. Reading spent bugger all before 06/07 - Halford didn't turn up until after Christmas.

Are you sure it's him he wants the holiday for and not the whole squad?

He's also come out and said that the only thing that matters now is the FA cup final, which in turn has seen the teams performances drop. Bad attitude for me, bot for what you owe other professionals and for having an in form team come cup final day. I hope they lose and dont make europe because of it.

If Pompey win the FA Cup it will certainly be a better achivement than Royle's 1995 side who finished well down in the league.

I thought Everton finished 5th in 95??

LOL I take it back they finished 15th LOL..

He said "I was hoping to go on holiday,That's all i need to start playing again in June.No, I think i will give that one a swerve"
