LMA Manager of the year - Rodgers

[SWP's back]

2 slightly different things here. The LMA manager of the year is voted for by all 92 managers (not sure when and if sacked managers get a vote) and that award was won by Pulis, probably quite rightly.
This is very often not won by the premier league winning manager, with baconface only winning it four times.
The divisional managers are decided by a 'panel'.
This panel decided that Brenda was the man! Now this trophy has gone to the premier league winning manager every year except 4. George Burley won it in 2001 when Ipswich finished 5th. Rednapp won it in 2010. Pardew in 2012 and now Rodgers in 2014. What I would say is look what happened to those three teams and managers the following couple of seasons!!!

No mate, you got that totally wrong.

A blue peter badge for Brenda. That's nice.

I bet the light was red, as well.

Do any of the professionally outraged and serial offended on here seriously think that Pellegrini would swap this meaningless honour for our Premiership title?
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and suggest that he probably can't find the slightest fuck to give about this, and I suggest that we should do the same.
'Not Everybody Loves Manchester City' - a blindingly self-evident truth that some folks seem to have issues grasping.
For what it's worth, the sink pissers had him as the winner.

Rodgers deserves the plaudits. Pellers took a team from 2nd to 1st (and the fact he's not in the top four is, as others have stated, an absolute piss-take) but Brenda progressed his team from 7th to 2nd and with a 100+ goal haul too. He's completely revitalised an ailing giant and, as much as I cant stand the David Brent prick, he's got them playing all-out attacking football of the highest quality.

I think Pulis' achievements have been slightly over-regarded purely because every season you see a team lift themselves out of the drop-zone with a new manager. Lets see how he fares in the campaigns to come.

I thought Rodgers biggest achievement was to bring Liverpool back into the race after they lost to City and Chelsea at Christmas. I really expected them to fade then, much like Arsenal did.

One based on opinions - nice to have, like being everybody's second favourite club down at the pub.

Another based on merit and fact. Very nice to have, especially for those people who want to pay for the privilege of riding along with the success - like sponsors for example.

I imagine this 'panel' was a bunch of stuffed shirts at the FA who made the decision before the Dippers -Chelsea game.
Stuffed shirt 1 - "OK chaps - only item on the agenda is the Manager of the Year. It's got to be our man at Anfield. Kept those bloody new monied bastards at bay! All agreed. Good, pass me the port"
New stuffed shirt - " but Sir, what if that Chilean fellow at" whispers it "'Manchester City' wins the league as well as a cup in his first season. Won't we look jolly silly?"
Stuffed shirt 1 - " you're new here aren't you? Even the Turf Accountants have Liverpool at 1/6 on to win and them chaps don't get it wrong that often. Pass me the port."
New Stuffed shirt - " they did two years ago Sir. Remember that foreign chap Mancini?
Stuffed shirt 1 - " yes, and we didn't give it him and no fuss was made. Anyway it will never happen again. Pass me the Port.
New stuffed shirt - " maybe we should have a contingency plan, just in case?"
Stuffed shirt 1 - " No. We've been here for 20 minutes now which means that it is time to fill in our expense forms and retire to the smoking room. It has been a fantastic year and with the help of our allies at EUFA we are repelling these new monied bastards. End of meeting. Pass me the Port"

I wish someone would pass him the port ffs, he's really starting to get on my tits.
