Where's Poch?

[RedandWhiteManofKent]

We have had chance to see Mauricios style of play, his tactics and a dabble in the transfer window.

With the changes in manager for many premier league clubs, where would you stick Pochettino in the list of Managers below. Using whatever criteria you want how do rate the current crop of managers.

If you cant be bothered to put the 20 in your order, who are your top 3, bottom 3 and where would Poch be.

I am maybe a bit biased but i rate him above the majority of managers on the list. Is it just me?

1. Arsene Wenger
2. Paul Lambert
3. Malky Mackay
4. Jose Mourinho
5. Ian Holloway
6. Roberto Martinez
7. Martin Jol
8. Steve Bruce
9. Brendan Rodgers
10. Manuel Pellegrini
11. David Moyes
12. Alan Pardew
13. Chris Hughton
14. Andre Villas Boas
15. Mark Hughes
16. Paulo Di Canio
17. Michael Laudrup
18. Steve Clarke
19. Sam Allardyce

 

[IMO Im ITK]

Holloway 5th....Really?

EDIT: Steve Clark 18th?!

 

[Saintmagic]

I think the order is just alphabetically for the clubs they manage...

 

[Saints_Swede]

Brian Laudrup??

 

[RedandWhiteManofKent]

For scrumminess only Villas-Boas gets even close, so 1) Mauricio 2) AVB 3) Everyone else

 

[Beddy]

Top three
Moyes
Mourinho
Pochettino/Bruce/Lambert/Hughton
To be honest I could not separate the above managers at this stage.........either one of the four warrant third place in my opinion.

The worst four managers.................In any order you care to put them
Paula de Canio
Holloway
Hughes
Allardyce

To be honest I thought that after I posted but he is not a bad manager perhaps a bit high but hey Christmas is coming.......

Used to like him and Wenger, but they are both too old now.

Note that no list that has AVB in even the top ten should be taken seriously. Wherever he finishes, then this is where Harry Redknapp is too, as it is his team, and AVB has not finished as high as Harry did with it, and infact Harry didn't finish lower than AVB with it. Add to that that any manager with Bale in his team would finish there or thereabouts.

Pochettino basically can't be judged, as we only saw him last season with Nigel's team - I'd say anything in the top 7 for him is rose-tinted glasses and bias dreaming.

Sorry, realise that those thoughts - while not putting my own league placing - is somewhat anti the spirit of the thing!
