Title: Most underated Manager
Post by: red macca on Wednesday, February 28, 2007, 16:49:00
If we are on the subject of most hated team/players how about the most underated managers about at the moment no matter what league.

Im going for chris coleman he does a great job every year and possibly has the lowest budget in the premier league.When you think about fulham dont really have any outstanding players but are fairly consistent every year

Agree about Coleman. I'd also suggest Dave Jones, he's done a fantastic job at Cardiff and wasn't too bad at Wolves either.

Just to clarify. This is the same Luton who have won once in the last 14 games. Right?

yeh, but to get in that division in the first place, and then stay up comfortabley last season, whilst having all the shit going on behind the scenes at that club, in one of the worst grounds in the football league, its still some acheivement. They'd be fine this season, but had to sell all their decent players

I dont like newell at all but to be fair he has done nothing but sell player after player in the last 3 years and if they stay up by 1 point he will have done a great job

Mark Hughes at Blackburn is another who is doing a sterling job at Premiership level and has dragged them into a comfortable mid-table team.

New managers emerging I’d say Geraint Williams who is working wonders at Colchester as is Nigel Adkins with Scunthorpe.  Both inherited sides mid-season so it will be interesting to see how both get on with little resource in the Championship next season, provided things pan out as they should.

Bit of a Welsh theme here, are they replacing the Scotch as the ideal manager?

Russell Slade at Yeovil (Unfortunately)

Took Grimsby to the playoff final last season playing very unattractive football (Cos he had shite players) then moved to Yeovil and has improved on the side he inherited from Gary Johnson. All my mates rave about the style of play and they're currently second in league 1, with a good chance of promotion to the Championship........

Wankers.

John Ward at Cheltenham is somehow keeping a conference level outfit in league one.

would also have to agree with Dazza about the bloke at Scunthorpe, didn't he used to be the club physio before moving to manager?

Tony Mowbray, kept a Scottish Division 1 team in the Premier League for season after season without spending much money and bringing through talent from the youth team that spend their weekends getting off their face and acting like wankers in pubs when they should know better yet still being able to play some good football (that was through gritted teeth).

Still finished below a team that kept changing their manager and brought in loads of crap Lithuanians mind.

He's doing well at West Brom as well.
