As it's just the premier League manager of the year; short of a collapse by city I can't see klopp getting it
He clearly spotted an Erdinger just before the photo was taken.
Agree. They were tipped for relegation but ended comfortably midtable and playing some decent football.
Yes… amassing 8 points more than Everton is a tremendous achievement worthy of the highest accolades.
Just think, Viera has achieved 44 points in a whole 2 games less than the managerial Titan that is Woy Hodge Podge did last season!!!
Its’s astounding.
Let’s not go overboard here - Viera has done ok to get them drawing more and losing less than they did last year (but not winning more).
I think it’s not better than what Arteta & Conte have done, or even Gollum for that matter.

If it's based on the whole season (all comps) then Klopp is a shoe-in. If on ONLY the PL then no doubt Guardiola will win it unless a miracle happens and we win the PL somehow. Other managers may have performed well (Frank at Brentford probably the best of the also-rans) but nothing that is going to elevate them above the PL winner.
Absolutely. 14th last season currently 11th this. Astounding.

I dunno. Is his record that good? Because all those teams around him have been just as bad.
Bar the top two, the league is full of dross.

You can make a case that Howe has done a really good job taking Newcastle from certain relegation to mid table obscurity.
Yer man at Brentford main contribution seems to be chewing gum like he’s snorted a bag of coke and nibbled on a few bikkies and is on his way back from an all-night dance oarty (or whatever the yoofs call them these days).
I don’t think “not being totally shit” is a good marker for manager of the year.
Altough if anyone other than “the baldy cunt” wins it, the frothing on The Fume will be worth it.

they were shite weren’t they.
Didn’t they interview about 50 managers that kept turning them down… twice.
Guardiola shouldn’t win it. Imagine being champions with a £1.5 billion squad then spunking another £100 million on a single player and finishing second.
No-one mention them, but yer man at Wolves has them getting 5 points better off than they finished last year - which is better than Viera currently has Palace versus last year.
Arteta has Arsenal 5 points better than they finished last year.
Let’s be honest - there aren’t any real surprises this year - both “Baldy Cunt” and Klopp have ramped up the points total significantly - suggesting the 2 teams are elite and push each other to be better.
The rest gave moderate gains, are much the same or have achieved similar positioning with fewer points.
Tuchel, you could argue, has under achieved with the players at his disposal. There are a few managers that can in and steadied the ship (Conte, Gerrard, etc).
There are a few that slipped up a little that will be under pressure next season (BRodgers).
the managers every expected to be shit… have been.
Everything’s “ generally been as expected.

Klopp will end up about 20 points better than last season, is that the biggest improvement?
I’d think so.
Plus… are they really going to take the EPL in isolation - challenging while getting to all those finals, regardless of the result, is unprecedented.
Doing it while not spending £2billion just reinforces what everyone other than the fume knows.
Surely then the award is pointless? If it always goes to the League winner or runner up? I think the point of these awards is to recognise managers who have a remarkable impact relative to the size of the task. Winning the league is its own reward
Mostly. I guess if there was something truly exceptional, if say Luton Town were to get promoted and finish in a European slot !
See here (90% are the PL winners) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_League_Manager_of_the_Season
Mostly but not always, Tony Pulis, Harry Redknapp and Alan Pardew have all won it in the last decade or so.

Ah.. in the company of the greats.
Yup. Individual honours are for losers with no trophies.
