LMA Manager of the Year OddsThe odds here just reflect the way we're constantly overlooked. Suppose Koeman would be a fair shout, and I think Dyche has done very well. But Hughes has got to be right in the mix to anyone objective.

Good article, surprisingly for the Daily Fail.
Or, at least, a welcome article.

Very good read that should garner some begrudged recognition & respect.
Wouldn't hold your breath though on the award.

100% for me yes.
Done a superb job on a budget and to deal with the cruel injuries to key players but we still turn out posiitive results and performances.
He's perfect for stoke City

he would be in the mix if people took everything into account (i.e. money spent on transfers etc.) however it isn't really a "Manager of the Year" award anyway, it's more of a "Which club have the media jizzed about most over the last few months" award so i fully expect it to go to Koeman if it's not Mourinho (and if Jose wins the Prem, League Cup and progresses to a semi in the CL then it would actually be hard to begrudge him that to be fair)

I hope it won't be someone like Mourinho or Van Gaal, with the squads and amount they have had to spend. I would say so far it is between four people, Hughes, Monk, Alladyce and Koeman. So far you'd give it to Koeman, had his squad ripped up and he put it back togtether and they are challenging for the top four. Monk has done a great job with it being his first (second) season. Alladyce is slowly falling out or the running, but a few results would perk them back up and Hughes has had multiple injuries and spend little. Even race right now

We're we really in for Shaqiri? That would have been a coup . That went under the radar didn't it

But Hughes has got to be right in the mix to anyone objective. That's ridiculous. Pellegrini? Man Citeh haven't even played that well, that's why Chelsea are running away with it. Arsene Wenger? Half the Arsenal fans want him out. Louis Van Gaal? No chance. |

Koeman should probably get it to be fair, if they don't crash and burn that is!
Also no knowing as to if one of the bottom three will have a mad few final games under a new manager!

Which I think was one of the objectives, tbh. Don't think anyone thought we would get him, but I think we were sending a bit of a message. |

Inter Milan, 9th in Seria A with 35 points.. do you think Shaqiri regrets his decision? probably not Anyhow, Hughes has done a fantastic job and it would be nice to see him get some kind of recognition. |

I don't see why Dyche should even get mentioned if Burnley go down. Easily manager of the year when they got promoted but not this season.

Yes, I know it is in the Mail, but it is reasonably well researched and very complimentary to both us and Hughes. Daily Mail article |

As unfair as it is, I can't see it going to anyone but Mourinho, as his team has been so dominant, which is understandable, considering the budget he's had. Achieving anything with the budget Hughes' has had (or hasn't had) is more deserving though.
Surviving relegation on a shoe-string budget deserves credit, but to place strongly, in those circumstances, deserves respect.

There seems to be a feeling in recent years that the manager of the Champions should not be guaranteed to win. |

From the season so far I'd say Koeman deserves it over Sparky 2nd and Mourinho 3rd. That said, it could change from now till may

Just looked at the odds, how bizarre. 'Aaron' Ramsey supposedly has more chance than Hughes, along with Pellegrini who is having a pretty bad year...
