Bielsa, Farke, just a bit useless?
*Diclaimer- It is a joke, a bit of cheeky banter, please read the op before lynching me*
Good, now I've grabbed your attention
A discussion with Leon and him telling me to make a thread about the subject has encouraged this.
And I find him scary.
Not really sure how to word this. . . . .
For the Manager of the Season awards does it need a manager winning something for it to be deserved?
For example if last season had ended slightly differently in the Championship.
Hypothetically us and Ipswich swapped places, or Ipswich and Southampton and Ipswich had failed to go up and finished 3rd or 4th and lost in the playoffs.
Would that have made Kieran Mckenna an unworthy winner of the Manager of the Season award? Despite the fact he got a newly promoted team into the playoffs in his first season.
So Enzl Maresca as the league winner who had one of the biggest budgets and was expected to get promoted would have been the worthy winner? In that scenario
Or if Marti Cifuentes gets QPR into the playoffs this season, if they lost would he still not be a worthy winner of the award over someone like Parker or Wilder or Farke if they get promoted?
Or if in the Premier League Man City recover and win it this season does Pep deserve the award over someone like Nuno getting Nottingham Forest top 4 or Iraola getting Bournemouth top 6 and a Cup Final for example?
Things tend to be won by the richest clubs with the biggest budgets in every league.
So obviously some managers have a massive advantage over others in the same league.
Is a manager doing much better than they should with what they have enough to deserve a Manager of the Season award? Or do they actually need something to show for it? A trophy of some sort?
