For those people who want to disagree, here’s how you do it!! Polite, quick explanation as to why, and the word ‘personally’ acknowledges it’s just an opinion. Watch and learn 👏👏👏
Danny Rohl did amazing at Sheffield Wednesday, when he came in they had 3 points at the end of October, and they finished the season with 53, what an escape.
As a Wednesday fan I’d love to put Rohl first and I do think it’s possibly the greatest championship survival ever. But at the end of the day no one wants to celebrate avoiding relegation, you want to celebrate promotion which takes much more consistency. I thought Ipswich would challenge for playoffs but what McKenna has done is brilliant. I hope he can give Ipswich a good account of themselves next season!
Neil Harris should be top 5 easily , doesn't play pretty football and like you said doesn't have to acclimatise to the club but has the most or the most points out of any manager in the Championship since he's arrived , a Millwall legend
QPR fan here... considering the budget restraint and the free transfer he brought in a guy from second division danish side you have to be impressed with Marti ! As for your pick for top manager of the season... yep no one can take it away from Ipswich ! Great job McKenna!
You can definitely make a case for the top 3 managers on this list! Cifuentes for restoring hope in an underwhelming QPR squad and making them play like a top six side, Rohl for pulling off the great escape after what was a terrible first 11 games, abysmal summer transfer window as well as the off the pitch circumstances surrounding the club and as for McKenna, he did the unthinkable by achieving back to back promotions with 96 points in a season which was set at an unusually high standard by the 3 year 1 parachute teams. I don’t know if we will ever see a season like this again and bloody hell, what a great season it was!
Full respect to Ipswich getting autos from league 1. I’ll have to be bias and swop 1 and 2, with the turn around that Röhl did with limited players was near a miracle. Good luck next season.
Wednesday fan here. So happy for Danny Rohl, what a manager. Have to Agree with top spot though, you were great last season and to repeat that success in consecutive leagues.......Incredible!
i would like to thank Danny for keeping Wednesday up considering the dark days of management we have seen this season and maybe those who defended and hoped for the return of Darren Moore in all this even when he caused most of it have woken up to what is available out there , But Danny has to prove himself and that he is loyal to the fan base ,something very much lacking in the modern game by managers and too many players ,the manager merry-go-round is a bandwagon of 3 year contract and even their failure is rewarded as they know round the corner is another club willing to hire them on another 3 year contract while they are still being paid for the other contract,the fans at any club are the least to be considered in any of this ,they only pay the bills for it all ,thanks again Danny let you be the one that breaks the mold for Wednesday and bring us to the better place we deserve god knows the fans deserve it
Ben, from an Owls fan, congratulations on Ipswich getting promoted. You understand how shite its been for both our teams over the last few years. So to pull off this amazing feat is nothing less than remarkable in your first season back in the champ. Love the channel and love your energy, knowlwdge and very mature views on the EFL. Theres no one else out there that has your level of knowledge thatyou bring to the show. Good look Ipswich for the next season and I hope Wednesday can pull off something special next season and join you guys up there. Regards, Dorset Owl
@@darrenleejones3516 As an Ipswich fan, I would love to see Wednesday up there with us, they have great fans and a real sleeping giant, but it all boils down to wether or not the chairman backs this really good manager, thats where I have my doubts but I hope I am wrong !
Rohl, Cifuentes and McKenna. It cannot be anyone else. Forget the ones in charge of parachute teams. All but one of them missed out on the top two for their budgets you can't call their seasons a success. One more may go up via playoffs, but for the money they had, it's not really enough to make them better than 23 other managers. Eustace deserves some credit for what he achieved while at Birmingham and then keeping Blackburn up despite their tough run-in. Cardiff's manager, and Rosenior at Hull definitely had good seasons too, but no-one comes close to the three I mentioned above.
Incredibly harsh on Carrick. In 40 years of supporting Boro I've never known an injury crisis as bad as the one Carrick has had to cope with most of this season. On top of that he had Morgan Rodgers and Matt Crooks sold from underneath him. He's only been able to play a settled team in the last 10 games of the season and it's no coincidence that Boro have been top of the championship form table during that period.
No arguments with the top three. Leeds fans must curse the very name McKenna! As a Wednesday fan I agree Röhl’s task was a bit more impossible than Cifuentes but QPR fans must love him and rightly so! All young managers as well which is terrific to see 👍
Really good Ben! Agree on Kieran McKenna, but think you’re being very harsh on Neil Harris. Not because I’m a Millwall supporter, but from where we were when he took over, to where we finished, scoring the most points of any team in the championship across the last 13 games, I think everyone would agree he should finish higher than 8. Regardless of when he came in. 😅
I agree with you. .I would swap Harris's position for Maresca's. I know Maresca won the league with a game to spare, however I really don't rate his performance. I think the way they crumbled during the latter part of the season should be taken into account. There was such a lack of backbone to their team. Physically they seemed fit, but mentally they fell apart and that's on the manager. So many people are predicting our (Ipswich) relegation next season, but I think we'll survive quite comfortably, and whoever goes up through the play offs will have a good chance. However Leicester will struggle to bring in players because of their FFP breach, they'll have a points deduction and they don't have any leaders in their team. They're spineless. We have Morsy, Burns and Luongo who can dig deep and rescue points. Leicester don't.
SWFC’s Röhl all day long miraculous turn round with a team miles adrift after 17 games. Nobody near him except McKenna at Ipswich and he had a terrific squad from day 1 one. And remember McKenna was given money to improve his squad the owls got nowt because the owner is skint as well as being a world class idiot. Otherwise Brilliant as ever Ben.
No chance McKenna worked on a shoe string and led a league one team to the top two again… only team to lose single digit games and top goal scorers no manager in the league comes close to him
@@jasonhawtin1808 You signed Davis for over £1M whilst in L1. Then spent a further £5m this season. That's not a shoe-string budget. Don't get me wrong, it's not a big budget either, but you've not been scraping the bottom of a barrel for loans and freebee's. That said, McKenna has done an excellent job and fully deserves the number one spot in Ben's video and the promotion he got.
You can’t deny the job McKenna has done. The testament to that is that you’d struggle to pick one player from Ipswich to replace a player in the 11 of another top 6 club, they perform as a unit are well coached and had a winning mentality, that has to come from the manager. I think Swansea will come good next season too, they finished well and Williams looks like he’s only now got them where he wants them. Big fan of Cifuentes too, they’re a completely different side now.
Tbh I agree with you about Wagner. He's such a polarising figure. After the season we've had getting to the play offs is a miracle. We'll see what happens in the 2nd leg but I'm not hopeful.
Mckenna 100% number 1 nobody would have backed Ipswich for promotion this season. My Club WBA CC has done a great job since we've not been able to spend and our off the field issues if he takes us up, which i doubt then what a job.
Good luck! I've convinced myself you're gonna win it. CC is the manager I would want for the POs 100%. You did a number on us at your place. Martin is a fraud, Leeds have lost there bottle and nodge are shite 😅🙃
Absolutely brilliant video! My one nitpick is I don't see how Corberan is above Farke, and of course the lower end of the list is pretty interchangeable. But the higher end is pretty much spot on! Fair play!
Oh yes. Love a notification of a new video from Mr Bloom! Lovely stuff Ben. Content continues to get better and better! Really good ratings I don't think I'd change much. - McKenna undoubtedly 1st. - Agree on thr parachute managers, they've done well, but also had good resources - Nice one on Lowe, he gets a lot of stick but I think hes a decent coach. - Also whilst i agree with your summary on Rowett i think hes a good coach
Here's one for you Ben, rank the boards, the people at the top of the club, how well run are the clubs? Birmingham got what they deserve, Millwall perhaps got lucky, etc.
@@MrMmnngghh It's rumour. But as expected, when you perform like Röhl has done this season, rumours will start. Will Still could possibly be the next Sunderland manager.
Any club would have difficulty in keeping hold of a top manager. Röhl could become a top manager - most likely will do - but for now he's under contract and has a great relationship with the club and Chairman. It's now up to Chansiri to deliver what Röhl needs.
Birmingham should not have got relegated on 50 points. That they did was because of the brilliance of QPR and Wednesday in the second half of the season. More teams than usual had to fight relegation. My own team is Norwich and you are right, not sure about Wagner. We are not ready for the Premier League but we do have a nucleus of good players. The big question is can we keep them for next season?
Rohl & Cifuentes were excellent. Our manager Schumacher still growing into the role. Every time we got a result Wednesday & QPR results made it feel twice as hard to escape the relegation zone.
They did because they should have. They did because of the sack Eustace appoint then sack Rooney then hire Rowett. Too little too late this season the points tide was high.
I’d stick with your prediction of 2nd for the Boro this upcoming season. Latte Lath going to be Top Scorer in Championship. When every player is fit. We are one of the best teams in the league and Carrick has us playing fantastic football.
John Eustace took over a totally broken side after the incredible sulk, Jon Dahl Tomasson, was found out. Playing a style of football you need top internationals in the Championship was not going to work on a budget. When the Sweden job came up he just sat on the bench week by week killing time. The Eustace reign has been poor with the small matter of we stayed up, but you’ve got to give him a pre-season and a couple of windows, the latter so the club officials can get used to basic IT.
I'm a Leicester fan, but there's no way that I can make the case for Maresca being higher than 4th. He achieved the aim of going up automatically and won the league with a points tally that has only been bettered on two occasions in the past 10 seasons. However, you could argue that he had one of the strongest squads ever at this level and fell well short of the points record despite being on course to smash it 2/3rds of the way into the season. He's rightfully above Martin and Farke in this list because neither of them achieved the objective of automatic promotion, however, the three that you've listed above him all pulled off miracles.
Harris did do a great job keeping Millwall safe, all the managers with parachute payment teams should always be top of the tree just based on the simple fact of what is at their disposal. But without a doubt McKenna is probably manager of the season across all 4 divisions. I seem to remember when McKenna was appointed Harris was also in the frame for the job wonder what would have the outcome had Ipswich chosen differently
I dunno how farke & maresca are above corberan 😮 farkes Leeds squad is miles better than wba & yet achieved the same thing. Maresca did the minimum expected with that Leicester squad, most managers could have done that 1: McKenna 2: Rohl 3: Corberan 4: Cifuentes 5: Harris
No doubt there can only be one winner Mckenna, promotion first attempt incredible. Special mention too miracle worker Danny Rohl though, massive achievement from him!! 😂
As always, an excellent and informative vlog. The only thing I have a significantly different opinion to you on is Maresca. Of course he got the job done in the end and they won pretty comfortably on paper. I think with the quality of players at his disposal Leicester could just steamroller the weaker teams in the division and accumulate the necessary points regardless of Maresca's shortcomings. I feel like Leicester's collapse in the latter part of the season really should reflect on Maresca. It really was a psychological collapse within the team and that is on him. It also caused a schism to grow between supporters and the club. I know that isn't quantifiable, qnd isn't reflected in the statistics, but my impression is really that Maresca does not seem like a good manager, and if I were a Leicester fan, I wouldn't trust him next year in the Prem.
As a Leeds fan I think that you have been generous to Farke. With our squad he should have got the job done. His weakness is not dealing with things when they go wrong on the pitch, alls well when our top players are flying but when they are not he freezes. He also says our players are tired but he did not rotate when he should have done. Totally agree with your number 1, I some times wonder what Mckenna would have done with our team.
I'm an Ipswich fan. I agree. Honestly your squad is terrifying. I could forgive Farke the slow start due to the mess he inherited. However the collapse through April and May has been unforgivable. Yes there was fatigue, but with those players?! And quite honestly, better use of the squad would have reduced the fatigue factor. McKenna beat Farke because of the way McKenna utilised the squad and his in-game management. It meant McKenna squeezed absolutely every drop from the squad which Farke wasn't brave enough to do.
I think a really good case can be made for either. Under Munez, Wednesday were on target to not even get into double figures, but there is the question of how much was due to his incompetence and how much due to Rohl?
@@BenjaminBloomwell I guess because you said you weren’t taking into account last season, but then said he’s a victim of his own success, therefore taking into account last season…… I’d have him above the Preston and Cardiff manager. Robins has had to completely rebuild that squad, there’s probably 2 players that were in that team that made the playoffs. So those are my reasons.
Not too much to disagree about. McKenna and Rohl definitely top two , maybe would put John Eustace higher. Carlos Corberon great achievement to get the Baggies in the playoffs, they were in the bottom 3 last season when he was appointed
If you can keep him, you've got an exciting season ahead of you. It's a big IF though. With a chancer like Chansiri, you could be on your third manager by the time the new season starts.
Robins in 14th seems a bit harsh, being a victim of their success in the FA Cup with a threadbare squad. True he spent some money after losing Gyokeres and Hamer but so many signings took time to bed in, it was the start of the season that cost us missing out on the playoffs and a lot of sloppy individual errors along the way. Losing Sheaf and Sakamoto to injury when things were going well was a major blow and letting Mcfadzean go in the winter window was a mistake. Not strengthening the squad in that window probably not his fault though. But I can’t really argue with it given the jobs the guys above him did.
Having Robins in 14th is completely justified Ben. I think weve had a very average season. Only Lestuh spent more than us last summer and im afraid he wasted a fair whack of it. Yes we made the FA Cup semi, but we had a lovely draw to get there, and even in our best run of form this year (xmas to March time) we were rarely exciting to watch, certainly nothing like last year with Vik and Gus
I would say manager of the season award will most probably go to McKenna and yes it would be very deserved but I do feel Danny Rohl does need to be in the conversation (and sorry yes I am a Wednesday fan 😂) but was very impressed with how hard Ipswich were to beat this season, hope they do well in the prem
I thought that dewsnip and Nance did a superb job for the 6 games they were in charge they only lost 2 games whilst and more importantly unbeaten at home.the result's were good enough to keep us in the championship and 2 of those wins Wer against the league winners Leicester and play off contenders hull both at Plymouth.
McKenna is the most overrated manager of all time, Had millions to spend and had premier league level facilities, Stevie wonder couldve got ipswich promoted with the players and facilities they have
@@BenjaminBloom ah, right. Just trying to make a case for Danny, lol. With their shocking goal difference, Wednesday were effectively 13 points from safety at the start of December.
I think you've got it spot on Benjammin, in my opinion the manager of the year is not the manager who finishes first with the best squad and best budget. The EFL isn't a level playing field, teams coming down with parachute payments should walk the division. My top 3 are same as yours, the job Mckenna has done is second to none, I know some people will say the Cifuentes should have been second, but in the head to heads Rohl beat Cifuentes home and away, so for my money the job Rohl has done is second only to Mckenna.
Fair assessment Ben and cannot argue with the top 3 or Mckenna being in my opinion way out in first. And I am glad you had the width of a fag paper between Rohl and Cifuentes which is also fair. But I am sick and tired of Sheff Wed fans consistently saying the only manager of the teams who were in SERIOUS trouble who did well was Rohl and he was amazing and no one else comes close. That was just not the facts and other than throwing 2 games away against Sheff Wed it could have been a very different story. And yes waiting for the argument of the head to head record but QPR completely out played Sheff Wed at Hillsbourough and managed to capitulate in injury time and conceding 2 goals and we were both equally bad in the reverse fixture. Lets see where we are with a full season hopefully both teams not fighting relegation. Before the tirade of abuse starts I thought Rohl was amazing.
There are a few candidates for the best but id be surprised if anyone disagreed with Xisco being by far the worst manager employed by any Championship club this season.
Most of the highest-ranked managers didn't have chaotic situations to deal with, or if they did it was because they'd been brought in to sort out the mess. As a rule of thumb if a club appoints three managers in a season they can expect to finish at the wrong end of the table. Not sure if you factored in Coventry's FA Cup progress, Ben. Although getting to the semi-finals is a very impressive achievement that meant playing an additional five games, making it a 50+ game season. The Coventry squad may well be relieved at not reaching the play-offs.
@@Plantybaggie 1 did he finish top yes 2 is it his 1st ever full season yes 3 did we not only let go of 13 other players out of contract we sold players for the region of 100m so he had to bring players in and players going out on loan
Personally would put Corberan higher than Farke as i think the job he's done is more impressive.

You will find out how good Eustace is next season. Mid- table easily and could make the playoffs, enjoy. We sacked him, Blues. But be patient.
Well done Ben enjoyed watching you all season will you do the championship next season well done Ipswich from a Plymouth Argyle fan
I'm a Leicester fan, but there's no way that I can make the case for Maresca being higher than 4th. He achieved the aim of going up automatically and won the league with a points tally that has only been bettered on two occasions in the past 10 seasons. However, you could argue that he had one of the strongest squads ever at this level and fell well short of the points record despite being on course to smash it 2/3rds of the way into the season. He's rightfully above Martin and Farke in this list because neither of them achieved the objective of automatic promotion, however, the three that you've listed above him all pulled off miracles.
Harris did do a great job keeping Millwall safe, all the managers with parachute payment teams should always be top of the tree just based on the simple fact of what is at their disposal. But without a doubt McKenna is probably manager of the season across all 4 divisions. I seem to remember when McKenna was appointed Harris was also in the frame for the job wonder what would have the outcome had Ipswich chosen differently
Well give you wave on your way back down to lg one 😂😂😂
I dunno how farke & maresca are above corberan 😮 farkes Leeds squad is miles better than wba & yet achieved the same thing. Maresca did the minimum expected with that Leicester squad, most managers could have done that
1: McKenna
2: Rohl
3: Corberan
4: Cifuentes
5: Harris
What scenes in town today!! So pleased weather held off again! Still in dreamland. Mx
scenes? There were about 10 people
@@Tdog47123 👏👏 I believe specsavers do home visits now? Mx
No doubt there can only be one winner Mckenna, promotion first attempt incredible.
Special mention too miracle worker Danny Rohl though, massive achievement from him!! 😂
As always, an excellent and informative vlog.
The only thing I have a significantly different opinion to you on is Maresca. Of course he got the job done in the end and they won pretty comfortably on paper.
I think with the quality of players at his disposal Leicester could just steamroller the weaker teams in the division and accumulate the necessary points regardless of Maresca's shortcomings.
I feel like Leicester's collapse in the latter part of the season really should reflect on Maresca. It really was a psychological collapse within the team and that is on him. It also caused a schism to grow between supporters and the club.
I know that isn't quantifiable, qnd isn't reflected in the statistics, but my impression is really that Maresca does not seem like a good manager, and if I were a Leicester fan, I wouldn't trust him next year in the Prem.
BB did you predict that Liam would get the boot from Hull City.
As a Leeds fan I think that you have been generous to Farke. With our squad he should have got the job done. His weakness is not dealing with things when they go wrong on the pitch, alls well when our top players are flying but when they are not he freezes. He also says our players are tired but he did not rotate when he should have done. Totally agree with your number 1, I some times wonder what Mckenna would have done with our team.
I'm an Ipswich fan. I agree. Honestly your squad is terrifying.
I could forgive Farke the slow start due to the mess he inherited. However the collapse through April and May has been unforgivable.
Yes there was fatigue, but with those players?! And quite honestly, better use of the squad would have reduced the fatigue factor.
McKenna beat Farke because of the way McKenna utilised the squad and his in-game management. It meant McKenna squeezed absolutely every drop from the squad which Farke wasn't brave enough to do.
@@darylsnell6799 Can we have him please lol.
Got to give it you Ben, you always had the belief, that wednesday would get out of it, they did give me some sleepless nights, king Danny 🤴 ❤
Pretty hard to decide between McKenna and Rohl. Cifuentes also wry good as well as Harris at Milwall
I think a really good case can be made for either. Under Munez, Wednesday were on target to not even get into double figures, but there is the question of how much was due to his incompetence and how much due to Rohl?
Thanks for the video BB 🦉
Mark Robins in 14th? I usually agree with everything you say, but personally I think that’s a wild take.
Bit of a pointless comment if you’re not going to say who I put above him that shouldn’t be above him and why? 🤷♂️
@@BenjaminBloomwell I guess because you said you weren’t taking into account last season, but then said he’s a victim of his own success, therefore taking into account last season…… I’d have him above the Preston and Cardiff manager. Robins has had to completely rebuild that squad, there’s probably 2 players that were in that team that made the playoffs. So those are my reasons.
@@gtingaming716 so 12th then?! Not that wild after all 😊😊😊
@@BenjaminBloom ok it’s a bit of a wild take then, not a massively wild one, just a little wild take 🤣
Its the spliffy top my god looking at that is like going back to the good old days of my youth 🥰 Foster in 24th!
Wednesdays Röhl all day long over McKenna. He was set up for success
Not too much to disagree about. McKenna and Rohl definitely top two , maybe would put John Eustace higher. Carlos Corberon great achievement to get the Baggies in the playoffs, they were in the bottom 3 last season when he was appointed
Haven’t spent anything either sold our best defender to balance the books he’s worked miracles
Is that t shirt from the 90s?? The character on the front feels soooo familiar
Maresca almost bottled a 17 point lead, Carlos Corberan has to be higher than him surely
Rohl number 1 for me
McKenna was a banker for top spot - a sensational job! Hoping Danny Rohl will have Wednesday in a similar position next season!
If you can keep him, you've got an exciting season ahead of you.
It's a big IF though. With a chancer like Chansiri, you could be on your third manager by the time the new season starts.
Robins in 14th seems a bit harsh, being a victim of their success in the FA Cup with a threadbare squad. True he spent some money after losing Gyokeres and Hamer but so many signings took time to bed in, it was the start of the season that cost us missing out on the playoffs and a lot of sloppy individual errors along the way. Losing Sheaf and Sakamoto to injury when things were going well was a major blow and letting Mcfadzean go in the winter window was a mistake. Not strengthening the squad in that window probably not his fault though. But I can’t really argue with it given the jobs the guys above him did.
Having Robins in 14th is completely justified Ben. I think weve had a very average season. Only Lestuh spent more than us last summer and im afraid he wasted a fair whack of it. Yes we made the FA Cup semi, but we had a lovely draw to get there, and even in our best run of form this year (xmas to March time) we were rarely exciting to watch, certainly nothing like last year with Vik and Gus
I would say manager of the season award will most probably go to McKenna and yes it would be very deserved but I do feel Danny Rohl does need to be in the conversation (and sorry yes I am a Wednesday fan 😂) but was very impressed with how hard Ipswich were to beat this season, hope they do well in the prem
I completely agree with the top 3 , all 3 of them didnt have the budgets or parachute payments to help them unlike the 'big' clubs !
I thought that dewsnip and Nance did a superb job for the 6 games they were in charge
they only lost 2 games whilst and more importantly unbeaten at home.the result's were good enough to keep us in the championship and 2 of those wins Wer against the league winners Leicester and play off contenders hull both at Plymouth.
Boro severely hampered by injuries and a truly awful start to the season, keep latte lath and I think Boro are a real contender next season
McKenna has surely got to be number 1!!!
McKenna is the most overrated manager of all time, Had millions to spend and had premier league level facilities, Stevie wonder couldve got ipswich promoted with the players and facilities they have
@@Tdog47123 you feeling OK sweetie, I can taste your bitterness from here
@@Tdog47123😂😂😂😂
Bulut at Cardiff still hasn’t been given a new contract so as of now we have no manager our owner is a nightmare we definitely want him to stay
Rowett played Burke at Rotherham,changing a winning team a huge mistake,maybe payback for the way Birmingham treated him previously
Does Wayne Rooney not get a ranking?
Yeah 30th out of 24
I think it's current manager rankings. I was initially surprised when he didn't show up near (or likely at) the bottom.
Only current ones.
A video ranking all the managerial changes would probably let have him bottom
Yeah, he said about 3 times at the beginning of the video that he was only ranking the managers who finished the season.
Well done BB, Spot on from an OWL...
I can't believe Hull have sacked Liam Rosenior he nearly got them into the play offs bloody owners
We’re looking for a manager and wouldn’t be upset if he moved to Argyle. 💚
The owners helped us get near the playoffs too.
Sheffield Wednesday. No wins in first 13 games, not 11. Does that move Danny Röhl up a place?
I’m good with my numbers mate, I was talking about the 11 games played in the season at the point he was hired.
@@BenjaminBloom ah, right. Just trying to make a case for Danny, lol. With their shocking goal difference, Wednesday were effectively 13 points from safety at the start of December.
I think you've got it spot on Benjammin, in my opinion the manager of the year is not the manager who finishes first with the best squad and best budget. The EFL isn't a level playing field, teams coming down with parachute payments should walk the division. My top 3 are same as yours, the job Mckenna has done is second to none, I know some people will say the Cifuentes should have been second, but in the head to heads Rohl beat Cifuentes home and away, so for my money the job Rohl has done is second only to Mckenna.
Agreed with you're 1/2/3 Ben completely. I can't put liecester Leeds or Southampton anywhere near the top 10 though as they all play on cheat mode
I agree with Kieran McKenna being number 1, great achievement.
Stoke have been stuck in purgatory for many years.Watch out for us next season,though.Playoffs at least.
Can not argue with that top 3
Hey benjamin would be available to do a podcast with me? Keep up great work
@# a Ipswich fan I agree with McKenna, But Second is definitely the Sheffield Wednesday manager, weren’t they on 3 points after 11 games
3 points after 11 games, 7 points after 18 games, the job Rohl has done is unbelievable, only McKenna tops it.
Can't argue with any of that especially the top half
Fair assessment Ben and cannot argue with the top 3 or Mckenna being in my opinion way out in first. And I am glad you had the width of a fag paper between Rohl and Cifuentes which is also fair. But I am sick and tired of Sheff Wed fans consistently saying the only manager of the teams who were in SERIOUS trouble who did well was Rohl and he was amazing and no one else comes close. That was just not the facts and other than throwing 2 games away against Sheff Wed it could have been a very different story. And yes waiting for the argument of the head to head record but QPR completely out played Sheff Wed at Hillsbourough and managed to capitulate in injury time and conceding 2 goals and we were both equally bad in the reverse fixture. Lets see where we are with a full season hopefully both teams not fighting relegation. Before the tirade of abuse starts I thought Rohl was amazing.
There are a few candidates for the best but id be surprised if anyone disagreed with Xisco being by far the worst manager employed by any Championship club this season.
Danny rohl should be top and should have won manager of the year
lol
Big up the Spliffy T lol been a few years but il always miss my spliffy bomber haha , Super Neil gotta be top five Coyl
My top three as well Ben
Most of the highest-ranked managers didn't have chaotic situations to deal with, or if they did it was because they'd been brought in to sort out the mess. As a rule of thumb if a club appoints three managers in a season they can expect to finish at the wrong end of the table. Not sure if you factored in Coventry's FA Cup progress, Ben. Although getting to the semi-finals is a very impressive achievement that meant playing an additional five games, making it a 50+ game season. The Coventry squad may well be relieved at not reaching the play-offs.
Top 3 bang on!
Ben …you would say McKenna being an Ipswich fan😀
Rooney should be at the bottom, not sure why Rowett was down there considering he took over a team that had mentally and physically drained
I know not in your range but without a doubt was Rooney at Birmingham
No can argue with Kieran McKenna, stupidly good
Less Dewsnip and more Nancekevill at Argyle I would say in keeping us safe
QPR manger should be number one for saving
You mental Danny Röhl far better.
Not even close to Rhol
Looking forward to see who does the best next season out of the two . I know who my money is on, come on Marti, come on you R’s 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵⚪️
QPR were 23rd and 6 points below 21st when Cifuentes took over, so, yeah, it's fairly close between him and Rohl.
@@lukeburton8788yeah rohl was 9 points with 7 goals difference worse
Why I'd put Enzo no 1 is he had to change the whole way of playing where as mckenna had a team ready and also it was Enzo 1st real job as manager.
The money Leicester had compared to the rest of the league. It's not a chance, and he nearly ballsed it up.
@@Plantybaggie 1 did he finish top yes 2 is it his 1st ever full season yes 3 did we not only let go of 13 other players out of contract we sold players for the region of 100m so he had to bring players in and players going out on loan
We had the best squad by miles. Plus under Rodgers we were a possession based side
Don't no what we were in the end under that Irish little prick
McKenna had a league 1 side, and with only a few changes made them a side that got promoted to the premier league.
McKenna,we got second without parachute payments!🏴💙🚜
