Blue Peter Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 I would be interested to see what people's views on this are? After the Premier League greatest escape, is he worthy of the accolade? Vote now!
Carl the Llama Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Not this year, but he'll be MOTY next season when we get our CL place.
kingcarr21 Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 For me yes he should. With everything thats happened over the season though i doubt he will get it. I think Monk will win it
Haydos Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Up there/nominated? Possibly. He's got himself out of his own problem though. If he'd have taken over at Christmas from someone else then fair enough but 2/3 of our season was poor.
Babylon Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Not for me, it has been a brilliant achievement to keep us up. But someone like Monk or Koeman would be more deserving as what they have done has been pretty consistent over the whole season.
foxfanazer Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Love the guy but not this time imo. Koeman and Monk are real contenders for me
Corky Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 No, staying up is important but not award-worthy. Koeman and Monk are new managers who have improved their sides whilst Mourinho is the champion. They should be the top three. Pearson could actually be given too much credit for this, in a strange way. Should be noted, obviously, and acknowledged but not at the level of winning awards.
David Guiza Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Clearly the best manager of the past few months, but not manage of the season for me. We've done well to stay up, and been on an incredible run, but if we weren't so utterly poor (results wise) between October and March then we wouldn't have needed half the run we went on in the first place. Monk, Hughes and Koeman have all had better seasons as a whole, Mourinho for winning the title so convincingly too I guess.
GeorgeTheFox Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Pardew for me. Kept palace up and has probably given Newcastle enough to stay up aswell
Fox92 Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Koeman is probably the best shout. Monk too. At the rear end of the table, Sherwood has guided Villa to survival and an FA Cup final. Nige is up there though.
Carl the Llama Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Koeman Monk Pearson Mourinho Wenger Sherwood Pardew
chicagofox Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 No, he absolutely shouldn't. You shouldn't get Manager of the Season for four good months out of a ten month season.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 It's a tough one to call, as most had us down as being relegated even before the season started, so to be bottom for so long and potentially finishing 13th is tough to ignore - it's really quite impressive However, Monk and Koeman have both done far better than expected, Mourinho absolutely pissed the league, Pardew has done well - could be anyone. I think it'll go to Mourinho or Monk, and I wouldn't be able to argue against either Can't believe Sherwood is getting mentioned, and even more ridiculous is Dyche (mentioned in some media outlets).

The media love in for those two makes me nauseous
Dr The Singh Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 I'm not his biggest fan!!! But I think he deserves it!!!
One Legged Beaver Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Not for me. He recovered well in this last two months, but before the five/six months before that we were truly awful.
Danno Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Can't believe Sherwood is getting mentioned, and even more ridiculous is Dyche (mentioned in some media outlets).Why? He's completely transformed Villa's season, got them to a cup final, and got Benteke back to his best.

Babylon Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 even more ridiculous is Dyche Utterly baffling.... Dyche should be in PR or Politics, the spin he's put on what he has done that people have bought unquestioned is unbelievable.
adam95581 Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Not for me. He recovered well in this last two months, but before the five/six months before that we were truly awful. Rubbish. We weren't truly awful! We maintained a high level of performance and commitment throughout and for that he should commended. In fact, I'd argue that it is easier to come in as a new manager and galvanise a team at the bottom than it is to rejuvenate them having been there for a long period of time beforehand. If anything this makes our achievement even more noteworthy!
shailen Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 No, although the way we have played this season has been that of a mid table team. However, what Koeman has done after losing their star players last year is a bigger achievement imo. Followed by Monk. These last few games have been amazing but for me no manager that got 2 points from 33 should be awarded MOTY. Not far off the run Newcastle are on atm.
Finnegan Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Not even slightly, ridiculous short termism. He's done very well to show a capacity to learn and improve but if he's going to take credit for our recovery he then also needs to take blame for our being in the situation in the first place. You can't have it both ways. I'd give him a 7/10 for the season and I'm hopeful he'll learn from this year and give us some tactical consistency next season based on this 343 but there's still a way to go. I'd probably give MOTY to Koeman or Mourinho but a special mention for Pardew, without who Newcastle have bombed and with whom Palace have recovered spectacularly.
Oxfordfox83 Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Definitely manager of the season, but the season of spring... Over the whole campaign Monk and Mourinho have done better...
