Premiership manager of the year

[turny]

definetly wont be avram grant!

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.

I actually like Harry, although he is West Ham through and through, I respect him as a manager a lot.

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.

Arsenal were generally expected to struggle this season, let alone challenge strongly for the title.

Arsene Wenger gets my vote as the top over-achiever.

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?

I would say so, although Paul Jewells achievement at wigan in their first season in the premiership would have to be up there.

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.

Does Coppell top Jewell? Reading finished two places higher than Wigan managed and were only one point from qualifying for Europe.

Jose Mourinho

Redknapps done a good job at pompey but he wont get it just like torres won't get player of the year neither as altough they both may have impressed some more than the likely recipients sir alex and ronaldo the stats speak volumes for them winning it as man u r going to win the league and ronaldos scored the most goals.

Clearly it should go to keegan with our perfomances in the last 6 games.

I agree, Harry done a superb job.

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

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

[Longines]

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.




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

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.
