Snow_white Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 With the season drawing to a close, in my more idol moments I have begun to think who will win the Manager of the Season award? I think a good case could be put forward for at least a dozen of the Premier leagues bosses. In fact it is probably easier to say who won't win. So who should win it for you? I would go for Brendan Rodgers at Swansea. Not only has he upset all the experts opinions about Swansea but also they have played some very attractive football whilst also having a very mean defence. Just shows you Mr Abromovich when looking for a manager it doesn't always have to be Europe's flavour of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famouswanderer Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Has to be Brendan Rodgers or Paul Lambert for me. Like you I would go for Brendan Rodgers because of the football Swansea have been playing. Edit- Alan Pardew must be in with a shout actually.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 30, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'd go for none other than Owen Coyle purely for his humility and dignity in dealing with Muamba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo gambaro Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Pardew for me, too, barring a disastrous run-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Rodgers for me. Not only kept a newly promoted team up with ease, but done it with style. It'll be interesting to see how they do next season though... Big shout out for Pardew, Lambert and Kean (if only for all the shit he's faced) too.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted March 30, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2012 I reckon Noddy Kean of the chicken pluckers has done a great job given the shit which has been flung his way. He now just needs to finish the job off and send the bastards down. In all seriousness though, I think I would go for Rodgers, I expected them to sink without trace in August Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Frandsen08 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 If mancini wins the league, he'll win it. i think i;d give it to rodgers or pardew, steve kean has done a decent job under the pressure he has had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrp Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Rodgers or Lambert. Pardew has had plenty of help form the Cockney Mafia who have been nothing short of incredible with their signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lofthouse Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Pardew for me, he?s turned Newcastle around whilst getting rid of Barton, Carroll, Nolan etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazBob Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Pardew for me, he?s turned Newcastle around whilst getting rid of Barton, Carroll, Nolan etc. I'd suggest getting rid of a disruptive and overrated midfielder as well as an immobile one is probably a major factor in their success this season. Pardew and Ashley must be laughing their cock offs at getting someone to take them off their hands whilst freeing up a huge chunk of wages to put towards paying the likes of Ba, Cabaye and Cisse.

Moderators Zico Posted March 30, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 30, 2012 It'll more than likely be whoever wins the title like every other year personally would put Pardew well under Rodgers & Lambert, with Rodgers getting it due to Swansea's a) style, b ) excellent home record c) impressive defensive record, something like most clean sheets bar Citeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didledee Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Well it certainly won't be Coyle. Pardew or Rodgers, but probably Mancini or Ferguson. Edited March 30, 2012 by Didledee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow_white Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 O'Neil - cos he turned around Sunderlands fortunes. Moyes - he consistantly turns out a decent team that COULD be challenging for the FA Cup. Jol - has made the Cottage a fortress and Fulham a rock solid team. Coyle - who having had 2 of his star players out all season, little money to spend and the heart attack of one of his players has guided his team to safety (hopefully). Wenger - after facing immense pressure from fans to leave at the beginnning of the season has stuck to his guns and clawed back his near London neighbours. Lambert - led the unfashionable Norfolk club to safety without bankrupting Delia Smith. Pulis - took the Potters on an entertaining UEFA Cup run and cemented them as a team everyone hates to play against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, Hodgson too when at Fulham and Steve Coppell are Reading - i.e. proper recognition hence the reference to it being a better vote other than Burley with Ipswich, the PL manager of the year has been either the manager who wins the league, or in the case of Redknapp, in a team that came top 4, more often than not though it's the champions, Ferguson has won it 4 out the last 5 years!!

Villa, Spurs, Liverpool ? I would stay put if I was him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
