Rafa Benitez has to be given credit.

maybe.

Its hard to judge as he would probably be totally useless in Kingy's position.

Has to be said Danny Wilson's done a good job at Franchise

Rafa Benitez has to be given credit.

One sentence in The Times today sums up what every writer in that paper had to say about him:

"Liverpool won the Champions League inspite of, not because of, Rafa Benetiz

It's gotta be Mourinho, although give it five years and I think Dowie will be as big a name

Mourinho without a doubt, Moyes has had a very good year though.

5th in the premiership 37 points off the top is poor especially as they were top 4 last year, he's done extremely well in Europe but Mourinho did the same with Porto last year.

Mourinho without a doubt although some credit has to go to Moyes but time will tell whether that was a fluke or not.

I think Danny Wilson's a good shout as well.

I agree Danny Wilson may be a bit of a shizzle scummer but he is still a good manager

Gradi.

you can't really compare managers across all the leagues can you? if you put kingy in the premiership....he wouldn't last i don't think. while in this division he is respectable.

respectable

Mourinho at the moment but I think Wenger in the next few seasons is going to notch it up a level.  The amount of young talent he has poached from around Europe is unreal and is just starting to come to the fore.  When they move to the Emerates they will be competeing on more of a level ground.

Wenger for me. Hes made Arsenal into regular title contenders on a fraction of the budget of Man U or Chelsea. Even if he does have dodgy eyesight.

Steve Wigley has got to be up there too. :wink:

Fergie. United have been on the slide recently but looking over the past decade at the silverware they have won.....

He also did extremely well at Aberdeen too with far less resources.

Surprising comments from the Times about Rafa, but then what the eff do I know?

My nomination for Manager of the Season would be Steve Burr, manager of Northwich Victoria of the Conference who managed to stay up despite a 10 point deduction at the start of the season for going into administration.

That is class that is!

His cone gatherer is David Moss BTW.
