Five managers have been in that situation; Ipswich's George Burley in 2000-01, Redknapp in 2009-10, Pardew in 2011-12, Pulis in 2013-14, and Klippety in 2021-22.Jesus.
So the season when we broke him and his horrible club for good by virtue of our last day heroics against Villa, the PL give him a consolation prize - an award for almost doing something, a pat on the back for trying really hard. Pathetic.
Out of those times, we were the ones snubbed on *three* occasions, meaning Mancini and Pellegrini never got their hands on the award. The other two 'snub-ees' were Ancelotti at Chelsea, and Baconface in his sixth title year.
