Football's Greatest Managers

Over the past few weeks a great blogger has been doing a series of what he believes to be the top 20. He just finished no.1 today. Even with it's subjective nature, I don't think there is much that can be argued with the list in its totality. It takes into consideration every aspect of being a good manager. Certainly a good read.

Where's Wenger?

Why does Wenger have to be there?

He doesn't have to, but I think he should, maybe I'm biased because he's been more in my time of the past 13 years or so.

Brian Clough should be Number 1

Who would you take out kyro?

Really is hard to say.

Stick him in at 21

Jimmy Hogan

Born in Nelson, Died in Burnley.

Shankly and Paisely, pfft, Hodgson > them.

Chelis is not in there. Shit list.

Chelis is all.

Even Hodgson doesn't agree with you.

@BPS: Who?

If he is all, then technically he is on the list.

He's right.

Modern day football is much harder to manage than 20+ years ago.

Wenger and Lippi should be there in my oppinion but a good list non the less.

I think the real question is, where is Big Sam?

The most gangsta, fashionable one earing wearing manager in the world.





Only man who can take a shit team like Puebla filled with second division rejects and turn it into a candidate to reaching the Semis. He could make England win a world cup.

No Pardew?
