Who is your favorite manager?

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

CITY - Loved Keegan.

NON CITY - Cloughie all day.

Basically i like heart on their sleeves managers.

This.
You got to love anyone truly breathing the game.

[PeterParker]

Rinus Michels.

Nice shout, can you elaborate?

City wise for me it has to be Sven. I really loved that first half of his season, although sitting through the latter part of psycho's reign might have made me look at it through rose tinted glasses.

As for non City, it's got to be Cloughie.

[Blue Blood]

City - Keegan, I'd love to see him working with our team today, christ it would be fun to watch!

Non City - Bobby Robson, Pure class.

[Chopper]

Brian Horton

I'd go with Bobby Robson. I thought he had class also.
For City I'd say Tony Book, because I met the man and he is pure class also. A real gentleman and has done everything at the club.

[Mikhail Chigorin]

City - for me it can only be Joe Mercer, although Keegan was waywardly exciting. I also liked Mel Machin and thought he was dismissed a little unfairly.

Non City - either Frank Rijkaard or Cesar Luis Menotti.

[Mike J]

City - Keegan or Mancini

Non City - Bobby Robson. What a legend he was/ is.

[Tokyo Blue]

City - Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini. I really wanted Brian Horton to stay as well. Backward with Franny. To be honest, I would have given El Mel Machin a few months more too.

Non-City - Sir Bobby Robson and Brian Clough, OBE.

[Dameerto]

I may have come to the realisation that he's a cnut of an individual but I STILL haven't seen anyone who can have as big an effect on his team as Mourinho (including that drunken red nosed old fucler that retired fairly recently).

Did all three things any one of which makes you a great manager. Put a club on the map (Ajax, (not to mention what he did with The Nertherlands)); Won trophies (3 European Cups in a row, for example), and changed the way people look at the game thanks to his tactical innovations (total football). Jobs a good 'un.

[foreverblue]

City - Bobby Manc

Other - Bob Paisley

I was asking because of that argument, regarding Ajax and i was curious on your view. From what i noticed there are two sides, people saying that Michels built that Ajax, others say that Stefan Kovacs did.

I asked Cruyff about this and he credited Michels. If you've read 'Brilliant Orange' you'll know that there is an argument to say that a former City reserve team player from 1902 could be credited with the idea of total football.

[Salina11]

Gordon Strachan

[dazby]

Rainieri. I hope he kicks arse at Leicester.

[bayblue]

Joe Mercer. A real gent and got us playing great football.
For the very same reasons then I also love Pellers.

[Slim]

Rainieri. I hope he kicks arse at Leicester.

Me too. Added bonus of him managing Leicester.
