Manager of the Season - and your winner is...
The vote is now closed for this season's top manager, and the winner is... Marcelo Bielsa, who steered Leeds to a ninth-placed finish in their first season back in the Premier League.
bloody hell, was going to throw my hat in the ring for managing to keep the wife happy all season by getting her favourite spiced rum in while i knelt at the temple of el loco<cheers><cheers>
 
In the words of Ian Wright

"The way Leeds have approached the Premier League has been like the imperial star fleet coming out of hyperspace," explained Wright.
"They just came, bang, bang. They were supposed to struggle, they finished ninth.

"They were supposed to tire and they finished the last four games with 12 goals and two clean sheets.

"Patrick Bamford was supposed to struggle, he's scored goals.

"They are a breath of fresh air to the Premier League and you hope they can continue as they are.
 
Indeed why would they. The Everton fans thinks Ancelotti has a greater pull than Bielsa.


Not anymore. He has taken Everton backwards. Im not knocking Ancelotti, his history speaks for itself, but Everton have not improved under him despite signing players like Rodriguez. Bielsa makes mid table championship players into top prem players.

Cant argue with that. However at the start of the season I was convinced Everton would make top 4 because they were flying and players like James Rodriguez and Allen were smashing it, they were top for a while too and looking great. Then we beat them and it seemed to break them. Then Rodriguez and Allen were not playing enough either injured of just didnt fancy it and Richarlson hasnt done enough this season. Too many superstars has upset the camp I feel and the Instagram photo of Rodriguez on his way back home to play Copa America, on a private jet with a double bed whilst his team mates were getting ready to play Man City...... not good and then getting smashed 5-0
