This should go to Tony Pulis if Stoke finish mid table. Forget your Fergies and Rafas, any Joe can get Man Utd in the top spot with all them millions of pounds worth of talent.

The real achievement would be Stoke finishing mid table when everyone thought they were a relegation certainty. Also Paddy Power paying out on Stoke going down after their first game. What a turn around.
 
Pullis has done a very good job but how many teams do you see coming from the Championship into the Prem and overachieveing? If Pullis can do what he's done this year, next year then give him the award but I can only think Stoke will end up like the Ipswich, Reading, Birmingham, Sunderland of the past..
 
Grayson.

Blackpool have plummeted and Leeds have rocketed since he came in. He was doing a great job at Blackpool.
 
Redknapp no doubt about it, what he's done is incredible this season.

you mean, a bunch of footballers who didn't play football for 3 months, decided to go and play football for the other 5 months, woo, how brilliant of Redknapp. Redknapp's done smeg all tbh, Ramos's rather weird idea's went and the team played footie again. King's been much fitter so played much more has been the key to the defensive frailties becoming less of an issue, not much else to it.

If it has to be Premiership manager, O'neill would have got it if he didn't turn into a scared little Wenger and switch to 4-5-1 in the hope to hold onto 4th, rather than continue to attack teams non stop which got them to 4th in the first place. Something like 10 from 12 in the few games they've played 4-4-2 this year and 4-5-1 they've not won in 11 games or something ridiculous. I laugh at ARsenal fans, since Villa got ahead of us they've basically not won and we've only got a 3 game lead, had Villa won even a few of those games we'd still be in a fight to the death for 4th, Villa utterly threw it away.

Moyes has done utterly brilliantly with basically no strikers and arguably their best player in Arteta missing for quite a while. Some very average players along with a few greats putting out team performance after performance.

lower leagues, Andy Scott gets it for me, Brentfords situation, financially, amount of funds and how bad we were before he's turned them into likely champions, almost certain promotion and a fantastically high scoring team out of absolutely nothing. I don't think anyone with as little experience, money, time, wages available for players has come close to doing what he's done.

What with already a quality squad? I could have gone there and done better than that clown Ramos

What's Moyes done that's so great? The guy has had years to mould his squad and they're what 9 points ahead of Spurs?? Big deal.

Redknapp has come into a squad that was impossibly low on confidence, devoid of ideas and unbalanced. Not only has he coped with that but he's pulled some masterstrokes in the transfer market, Keane was unthinkable and Palacios the signing of the season.

We had such a bad start no team has ever started that bad and stayed up, ever. Now he's 2 games away from setting a club record for least goals conceded at home in a season and has the Prem's best home defensive record. Now we're 1 point off Europe and undeafeted against any of the Top 4.

He got Gomes playing his best after a horror start = miracle. He's handled King well enough to have him playing regularly, Lennon's improving again, Dawson, Benny Ekotto are like new players.

Quality squad maybe but we were rock bottom with 2 points from 8 games for a reason, **** poor team.
Did you know that Spurs only had 2 points from 8 games when 'Arry joined? :p
;)
