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.
He's also trying to get the brilliant Vertonghen

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew travelled to the Netherlands over the weekend to watch in-demand Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen.  The Belgium international, 24, has also been linked with Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City.

I'd say that Lambert just edges Pardew and Rogers as two years ago Norwich were in League one.To get them mid table in the Premier with the players at his disposal is a magnificent achievement.

I agree with your top six, but not in that order.
Pardew would top it for me, followed by Rodgers, then Fergie, Mancini, Wenger and Lambert.
Fergie and Mancini would swap places if City catch United, which I still wouldn't rule out.

Rodgers deserves to be ahead of Lambert because of the quality of Swansea's football.
Wenger deserves to be up there because he stuck to his beliefs and style despite all the shit that was being thrown at him from all angles.
Fergie and Mancini – I know they have the best players to work with, and a lot of them, but I doubt any of the other Prem managers would be able to do their jobs. Maybe only Redknapp.

I would not have Mancini anywhere near the top 6, should have done better with the talent at his disposal. Pardrew, Lambert and  Rodgers would be my top 3.

To me it's results first and style second, hence why Lambert is ahead of Rodgers.

Does this really need an entire new thread?

Yes it does as many fans on here are just a tad fed up if you hadn't noticed.

No! I hadn't noticed.

There are approximately 733 threads and counting full of whingeing, can't you just post the same thing over and over and over again in one of them?

Pardew gets my vote for manager of the season but as we all know it only seems to go to the manager of the team that finishes top!

How is this a thread of whingeing? In my opinion it's been one of the better threads on here in recent weeks.It asks a question which any football fan, regardless of their club could have a discussion about.

So being fucked off about the profligacy of similar threads and millions of posts all saying exactly the same thing means you like the manager?

This is a perfectly interesting thread in its own right, and hardly mentions our manager at all.  Other than you and the other Dave somehow deciding that it's another anti-McLeish thread, which it clearly isn't.

I think if Man City win the league then Mancini should keep his spot, Also between Rodgers and Pardew it should be neck and neck, or goal difference. And as for Wenger in third, to me he's just a richer David Moyes, in as much he doesn't spend as much as the teams around him but still does it

I'd put McPorkSword up top at No1 obviously as he is Aston Villa's manager and was personally chosen by both Randy and Pauly... Oh...sorry... I'm holding the chart upside down.
