Premiership manager of the year

[77dave]

What are the chances of  Harry Redknapp winning it this year.

Is 5th place in the league and a win in the FA cup final enough to secure him the award or is Sir Alex a shoe in again.

Surely Pompey are the overachievers this season.

After not being offered the England job I think Harry has done an amazing job this season.

Anyone else in with a shout

Paul Jewell?

Paul Jewell?   

Was going to make some similar joke but couldn't think who to use.

Moyes has done alright.

[Rookie (Rodney)]

Yeah hope it is Harry. Deserved imo.

[Nem]

[Horneris]

He probably deserves it,but personally i cant stand the bloke. He knows how to play the media. Every club he's been at he's fallen out with the chairman,and according to Redknapp it's never been his fault. I don't know what it is, but there's something dodgy about him.

[TightEnd]

well he's a throwback isn't he? a wheeler/dealer from an era when transfers took place at watford gap services with cash in brown paper bags

He's an anachronism, one of a dying breed in this corporate football world

He's done terrifically well with Portsmouth, and probably deserves the award.

We'll probably find out some time down the line that he cut a few corners to assemble the squad he's got but on the field given the resources off it (compared to the bigger clubs) he's done the best job.

Also note, he has a real star up and coming coach with him at Pompey, a fella called Paul Groves. Going to be a big name in the future of the Premiership

Surely Slur Alex has to be a shoe-in?

KEEGAN!!!

not if you vote on a points/results to resources available ratio. if there was one.

He's also under police investigation for dodgy dealings. The premiership, outside the top four has been very poor for a couple of years now.

All the stuff about Newcastle was such BS, Chris Mort said they'd never offered him the job but he continues to claim he turned it down.

I think there is motivation for both parties to tow the line they have since it happened. Don't know who to believe. Keegan saying that they were in touch before Harry claims he was offered it, and was waiting for Ashley to get back from Asia tilts me towards Mort telling the truth though.

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.
