the managers table
« on: April 16, 2012, 11:35:27 PM »
So I have been thinking about a table based on the managers performance. Not necessarily reflecting their current position, more where I thought the teams would end up, and have they improved or been worse than I thought. So, again its just how the managers have performed

1 Norwich,         probably expected to be fighting relegation, but should be the highest place of all promoted sides
2 Newcastle,      thought mid table at best
3 Arsenal           With the money at Chelsea, Man C and the way spuds were evolving, thought it might be Europa
4 Swansea         Relegation battlers, or so I thought
5 Man U             You can't knock him, well you can he is odious. But he hangs about
6Man C               Very attractive, might still do it but limitless funds
7 Everton           keeps on doing it
8 Wigan             Relegation Fodder, or so I thought, more balls than us
9 Spuds             Nice to watch, but another London club with a small trophy cabinet
10 Fulham           Small in comparison to their neighbours, but could finish within 4 places of some who have spent big
11WBA             boing, boing but probably end up top club in the midlands
12 Sunderland, normal position , but will probably buy jenas for £10m, then wonder why they are skint
13 Stoke           wanted to put them lower, but there is dross below
14 Chelsea       to probably lose a CL spot with that much money, come on, but the only team in europe
15 Lpool           £130m, win on pens, racists
16 Bolton          Might go down, might not, thought that from the start
17 Blackburn     Probably will go down, but have a few good players
18 QPR             Came up with all the money, probaly go straight back down
19 Villa             We all thought mid table at least
20 Wolves        -39 goals, like giving every team a 1 goal start

just my thoughts, really.
One more point, if we do get relegated, will he officially be the worst manager in the premier league history. I mean with 2 different teams?

Does this really need an entire new thread?

Of course it does, 10 threads are never enough to say the same thing. Especially when it's a sack the manager thread and here's the reasons why.

Well I think it's an interesting thread/idea!

Also, I think the table's about right. 

Interesting that the Arsenal fans have been a bit peeved with Wenger and yet, as you say they continue to perform.

I think it's an interesting post, with a fair bit of thought involved.  If anybody can point me in the direction of the other thread that debates all of the other Premier League managers and their respective performances, I'll post on that instead.

But in the mean time, I agree that Pardew, Lambert and Rodgers have done very well, but disagree that Wenger should be third.

Seems a relevant enough thread to me, an opportunity to discuss other Managers and their merits (or lack of).

I think Man City are placed too high. All that money and will probably win nothing this season.

Yeah, I think I'd have Man City in 10th, below spurs. All that money and nothing to show for it at the moment... Of course they could still win the league

Maybe best to just not comment on our manager in here then, as there are a multitude of other threads to do that!

Pardew would actually be my pick for top of that table.  Lambert has done very well, but he's managed to navigate a very average mid table group, where as Pardew has gotten past that group and is mixing it wit the big spenders.

Yes I have to say that Pardew would be my pick for manager of the year.  He couldn't have put together a more lethal strike partnership for the money he's spent.  Brilliant transfer business.

Pardew's backed up good signings, relativley untried signings in terms of English Football, with excellent Football and a squad that has spirit and quality. Hats off to him, and Mike Ashley for making him the manager when we all laughed at his decision.
