Who is the best manager in the epl

Who is the best manager in the epl

who is the best? personally, although i hate the very sight of him, it has to be alex ferguson. he is the most successful and he didn't haven't moneybags abramovich like mourinho.

Can't argue with his record.

Lawrie Sanchez.

I thought he played for Norn Iron?

He manages them. Pretty sure his bornin England though.

sam alladyce and david moyes  theres two managers who've done really well with no money for them martin o'neill is a very good manager too
 jose mourinho should try  managing wigan or someone see how he gets on then ??

 but i think everyone looks up too sir alex he'd have too be the best

Sam Allardyce. Ex-Notts County. Says it all

Sam's the man - but Cloughie was good for a quote when he was with us

Just another alco

I'd say Moyes, or Alalrdyce too. Two managers who've done really well with clubs previously struggling. Not a huge amount of money to play with, and still squads with many less known players. Imagine what these guys could do with money-bags or talent like Mourinho and Fergy have access to.

It's hard to know what managers would be like with extra cash, as it involves different skills.

I reckon most Prem managers would do very well with Mourinho's millions -  Infact I think I'd struggle not to win.  It's hardly a risk buying Ballack, Chevchenko, Cole etc, players of their callibre they will always bring 'something' to a squad.

He's a filthy JockManc and so full of whiskey he'd probably burn for a week if he was ever accidently set on fire, (I can but dream) but Ferguson is clearly the best manager by a mile.

  

It might be a struggle when you don't know his last name starts with an s, but anyway.

Got to be Moyes.  Turned Everton around from constantly battling against relegation to challenging for Europe. Rammtallica2007-04-26 22:33:28

I suppose Paul Jewell should be mentioned - keeping Bradford and Wigan in the EPL on those budgets.

What about Hughes?  Plenty of astute signings for little money, and some good success at Blackburn.

Best three:

Martin O'Neill  (see next season)
David Moyes
Steve Coppell

In the cases of the big clubs, everyone sees the high profile manager but in fact they are really team jobs with three or four quality people running the team.  Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal work that way. At Villa, Everton and Reading they are mainly on their own so the success and failure is more their responsibility.

Noone's mentioned Rafa Benitez??

Yeah it seems that having teams finish 7th place on the ladder with a small budget is worth more than actually winning trophies.

Roy Keane, nuff said...

Here here.....Roy Keane has done incredible things this season.  Read this story for a great start to management...

Keane need a mention to go from 23rd in the championship to winning the league. All of those hours playing CM have obviously paid off. I would expect him to keep them in the Prem next year, he seems to have the pulling power to get good players to play for him.

However, overall I think
Lord Ferg
Jose Moaninho
Coppello

Alex Ferguson, best record, and stops them getting to complacent.

Mourinho is on a hiding for nothing - wins the title last year, 2nd this year with a Carling Cup and an FA Cup final to come, and still people think all he can do is spend...

Benjamin, i guess by "without winning anything" you mean the premiership or champions league?

Rafa by a long way.

Sir Alex Ferguson.

Has to be Fergie - look at his record - 9 titles - doesn't get any better than that - and he keeps winning - this title in his 20th year in charge - that's some record.

MARTIN ONEIL

There's only one arsene wenger

Martin Jol looks like the sort of guy you see propped up in a public bar drinking a jug of Red, rolling his own and complaining about "bloody Asians taking over the country".
