Premier League Manager of the Season 2010/2011

Glad someone mentioned Hodgeson, if Dalglish can be possibly mentioned as manager of the season then so should Hodgeson, done just as good a job at West Brom with a budget that pails in comparison to the 35m Pool spent on Carroll let alone whatever they paid for Suarez
We also got rid of a 50 million pound asset, so really you could say nothing much changed.
I know you're just being a whiney so and so about how well Dalglish has done but i'd agree on Hodgson being up there for the job he has done at WBA if he hadn't driven our club into the lower half of the table for the majority of the season playing the worst football in the league.
Haha 
So Tom, who said that Liverpool would be weaker with the Torres/Carroll-Suarez transfers, is now using the transfer dealings as a way to play down Dalglish's achievements this season?
edit: That's nearly as bad as jakeke's post after the way he defended Hodgson to the hilt and claimed our squad was worse than the likes of Bolton, Sunderland and Newcastle's

I'm sure i'm stating the bloody obvious but aren't blackpool near enough identical to the hull of 08/09?
Great start to the the season, manager who is loud and a bit up himself, one stand out player (Adam/Geovani) and probably avoid relegation on the last day vs Man United at Old Trafford even though they will lose to a weakened United team going for the CL?

Dalglish only turned round Hodgsons mess though.

Ever since Stoke have been promoted they were written off from the first match of the season.
For a newly promoted team to stay in the Premier league for 4 Seasons has to earn some kind of accolade. How many newly promoted teams are sent back down after the first two seasons. This achievement along with an FA cup final AND Europe.
He has to be Manager of the season if Stoke win the final.
Give me Man City or UTD's squad and I bet I could get Top 4 lol.

Ok, so Moyes has done a good job too :/
You can't have it both ways (not you specifically), you can't first say the sqaud's crap, they rely on 2 players and Hodgson could do no better and when somebody comes in and does considerably better (without the 2 man team), you can't then say 'so he should'.
I'm not saying definitely that Dalglish should win it but he's done an excellent job. Maybe the fact you laughed at the fact he got the job and thought he'd be a disaster has clouded your opinion.
No he hasn't that's my point he's had a **** year. Yet I think we may have been below you when Daglish took over. As I say we are not a million miles away from you despite having a squad playing that cost less than one of your forwards.
Moyes has been **** this season but the lack of any real consistency in the league has allowed us to climb from 18th to just outside europe really easily. In january with the squad, form and injuries I actually fancied us to go down. So with the resourses you could say Moyes has done a better job than daglish. Although I think that's equally as ludicrous because we have been poor.
Pretty obvious they saw Rafa as a threat and not Hodgson hence why he gets no bashing.
Firstly, we're judging managers against each other. So because the others were *****er, doesn't make a difference. Somebody has to be the manager of the year.
You were ahead of us when Dalglish tookover, albeit only on GD. In the period since Dalglish has been with Liverpool, Moyes has done a decent job with what he's got available to him (7 points less than Liverpool from 16 games). Moyes has to be judged on the whole season though and like you say, you had a terrible start to the season under him.
As for Dalglish, again I'm not saying he should definitely win it but he should be at least considered. He's been here (or will have) for just under half the season and has got more points than any side other than Chelsea. While our squad may not have been as bad as some made out, it certainly isn't the 2nd strongest in the League either.

Moyes got lucky again this year. He starts out the season with negative tactics again. One up front, that pretty much never works for him but he feels the need to keep doing it anyway.
Then through injuries the team ends up playing with two forwards and we start on a run again. No doubt when most are fit again, he will go back to one upfront and we will look awful.
The football this year for 3/4s of the games has been dreadful to watch as well. Our cup runs where beyond a joke.
Not that I would want him out of anything, just a very dull season both in tactics and style of play.

Couple of quotes I saw from Roy at Liverpool which amused me..
"I am more than happy to take responsibility for this squad but it takes a coach more than five or six months to make his stamp on a club"
Really? Because I'd said that Dalglish (and indeed Roy himself at Brom even) have made a stamp in that timeframe.
"whoever takes my place will be doing a similar job with similar players"
I'd say that its clear that Dalglish certainly hasnt done a similar job
Wigan did the exact same
First season in Carling Cup final and finished 10th, people forget how good Wigan were.
