Pep - Manager of the Season 2017/18


No I'm just comparing managerial styles. Mancini built a team over several.seasons but fell out with our two best players along the way (had to rely on one coming back) & eventually fell out with half the club.

But although Mancini was argumentitive & destructive & Pellegrini a flash in the pan, who was fucking clueless once his full ideas were implemented, both had a great season where they should have been manager of the year.
 
should the question needed to be asked this season and voted for by anybody league cup winners and league champions so many records broken and 5 games to play and 16 points to the nearest rival 4 manager of the month awards in a row but what wins it for me is the football we play how can you not watch manchester city play
 
I'm sure anyone who wants an objective and impartial opinion of who the MOTY should be will ask John Aldridge, a man of genuinely moderate and sporting outlook.
 
It'll be a travesty if anyone other that Guardiola wins this. There are managers doing well with limited budgets every year, and yet only when we win the league do people suddenly scramble around looking for anyone else to win it. In the past 15 years, it has only gone to a non title-winning manger 3 times, and 2 of those just happen to be when we won the league. Moyes has never won it despite finishing 4th with Everton and 5th and 6th multiple times. Nor Allardyce when he finished 6th with Bolton, or Hughes when he finished 6th with Blackburn. Yes Pellegrini wins the league at the first attempt and it goes to a manager who finished 11th. Fucking 11th!

Just for the record, he's a list of managers who didn't win it despite doing well with a relatively small team and the team who won the league that season.

03/04: Bobby Robson (5th with Newcastle)
04/05: David Moyes (4th with Everton), Sam Allardyce (6th with Bolton)
05/06: Mark Hughes (6th with Blackburn)
06/07: David Moyes (6th with Everton)
07/08: David Moyes (5th with Everton)
08/09: David Moyes (5th with Everton), Roy Hodgson (7th with Fulham)
10/11: Mark Hughes (8th with Fulham)
12/13: Moyes (6th with Everton), Steve Clarke (8th with West Brom)
14/15: Koeman (7th with Southampton),Garry Monk (8th with Swansea)
15/16: MOTS goes to Claudio Ranieri for winning the league.
16/17: Koeman (7th with Everton)

And the three times that MOTS hasn't gone to the title-winning manager.

09/10: Ancelloti. MOTS goes to Harry Redknapp for finishing 4th with Spurs (after years of investment to get there).
11/12: Mancini. MOTS goes to Alan Pardew for finishing 5th with Newcastle.
13/14: Pellegrini. MOTS goes to Tony Pulis for finishing 11th with Crystal Palace.

I wouldn't have a problem with Dyche winning it if there was a history of successful managers of underdogs winning it, but when Sir Baconface of Stoppage Time used to win it every year in the face of some great managerial performances from managers of smaller teams, then there's no way that a manager who's revolutionized the Premier League with his style of play should be losing to a manager who finished 7th with a fairly small team; and achievement that has been done many times before without receiving MOTS.

But it all comes down to the continued idea that us (and to a lesser extent Chelsea) haven't earned their titles. If we win, it's all down to the money we've spent, even when others have spent the same amount.
 
These awards are bollocks. Nobody ever remembers who wins Player or Manager of the year, this sport isn’t about individuals
