But alot of the hard work had already been done by Hughes. If Mancini had took over and we were languishing in 13th/14th or something like that, (a position which would more justify Hughes' sacking), and got us to finish 4th, well then yes a nomination would be justified. Without turning into a pro Hughes thread though, Mancini, in the scheme of things, (if we finish 4th), will only have gained 2 places on Hughes' work, whilst getting us knocked out of both cups in the process. To gain 2 places in the league on your predocessor (sp) doesn't really warrent a nomiination for manager of the year.

True to a certain extent however he came in and took over a team that had won just 2 out of 11 leauge games which is pretty average form if we're being honest however Mcleish should win it, done an excellent job at Birmingham

Mcleish is a good shout too, along with Hodgson. We're all deluded though because we all know Taggart will get it, probably because something like, 'and he guided them to that trophy after losing the greatest player in the world, so we'll ignore the true acheivements of Mcleish and Hodgson and lick your arse some more, oh great one'.

You might be right mate but i reckon they won't win the leauge and if thats the case then surely theres no chance of him getting it, is there??
This, he has done a really great job there.Kinky Dribbler said:McLeish anyone?
