Your current top 10 Premier League managers

[Dokaka]

We won the Fa Cup when we were still playing 3 ATB though once we implemented Arteta’s own style we’ve been pretty poor in the cup.

What am I supposed to give Emery credit for other than his accomplishments?

You don't see the irony of this post?

You minimize Arteta's achievement but give full credit to Emery for winning something you don't think has much if any value.

There is no irony in the post you just didn't understand it. I said Arteta won the FA cup when we were playing 3 ATB not his prefrence but since we switched to his style we've been poor in the cups.

I don't know why you keep putting words in my mouth about the Europa league, the only cup I said had no value is that Conference league bullsh*t West Ham won. I would kill for Arsenal to win the Europa league but Arteta hasn't been able to do it.

If you have an actual point make it otherwise stop this passive aggressive nonsense.

Not going into making a list. Pep is tactically clear off the rest. Klopt and Arteta complete the top 3 imo. The rest is up to personal preference imo. Sometimes a trainer and a coach are just made for eachother, while other managers are journeymen who are good with one team, but fail with another.

The one I really look forward to next year is Kompany. Last year I never expected him to do what he did in the Championship with Burnley. It always felt a weird choice for me. At RSCA he was known for his footballing idea's and Burney is was your typical Kick&Rush team that never was know for it's good football. Coupled that with some players from the Belgian competition (who never really stood out) and the limited budget he had at the beginning.

You went out of your way to researching my posts just to take jokes and facetious comments too seriously. Everyone was sh*tting on the Europa league on this forum doesn't mean we don't want to win it. Last time West Ham were in it Rice was crying in the changing room so it shows it means something.

Regardless does this make Emery less accomplished than Arteta? I know you're desperate for a win against me but this is just petty really, you know i'm right.

Will never rate that German psychopath passion merchant

Liked him well enough in Dortmund tho

I think it’s a bit hard to judge Unai Emery just off his stint at the club. It was always going to be a very difficult job for any manager taking over straight after Arsène, the same with Alex Ferguson too. You could see the club were reluctant to back him and changed the whole structure with Con Raul and Mislintat taking control with some of the transfers and Emery just had to work with what he had available. He didn’t even get his preferred choice of signings but still got us to the Europa League final in his first season and missed out on a CL place by a single point.

He was very unfortunate with the timing of when he came in imo.

Yeah, true.

There was no real strategy to transfers. The obvious signing is Pepe, when he wanted Zaha. But also a lot of aging players like Lichtsteiner, Luiz, Sokratis and a bit of a punt on youngsters like Guendouzi, Martinelli, Saliba. The latter two who weren't ready for first-team football.

Winning the league with Dortmund is a huge achievement though.

Arteta’s moved up since I made that post but for balance sure let’s have it.

All jokes and biases aside I think only the top 2 are set in stone with the rest to play for it’s not that straight forward.

Not really. Bum teams bar Bayern, all you have to do is to up them one off year

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

It depends what criteria you're basing it on too.

Because if we're basing it on the jobs managers did in the PL last season, Steve Cooper deserves to be in the top 5 easily.

Keeping Forest up was a bigger achievement than what Frank or De Zerbi did last season tbh. He's just not hipster cool like them

How about Gary O’Neil? Bournemouth were everyone’s favourites to go down and sitting 20th before he took over and he helped them finish 15th.

Marco Silva deserves a shout too. He done a great job at Fulham last season.

Yeah, O'Neil did great. It was a disgrace he got sacked really.

Silva did really well too.

And Thomas Frank. His whole 25 man squad was less than Rice’s transfer fee and he finished 9th. That’s 10 places above his squad cost.

True, think Tets needs to win some serious silverware to overturn Pep tbh, his record is ridiculous.

Arteta turned Xhaka into a top PL midfielder for a season. Top 3.

Klopp
Mike
Emery
