following on from another thread - your best current english manager and why?

had a think - and i really dunno. on current form i guess it would have to be redknapp followed by allardyce and pulis?

Psycho on the other hand, has been mooted for this British Olympic Football Team Job. I really hope he gets it, and I hope it will push him into a higher profile job, one he deserves.

He was great for us in very difficult times, I hold the man in high regard.

He seems much more honest than Twitchy too, for sure.

As much as i dislike his twitchyness if i am being honest he's easily the best english manager at present.

The elephant man has also been decent over the last few years.

Redknapp - mainly because of lack of competition. And he's actually won a trophy.

Holloway could become I suppose. Some people would've said Hodgson 6 months ago. Such is the nature.

People saying Pearce must be daft.

If we're talking short term it surely has to be Holloway? Harry has such resources & really under Harry Spurs have only done what they should have done previously under Martin Jol or Father Damien Karras, so Harry is maybe doing about 10-15% better than average & got Chump's Lg due to the demise of Liverpool.

Holloway is over achieving by about 500%.

I recon both will soon hit a brick wall & be out of a job in a year or two though. Harry will bail out when things eventually go wrong, as they always do at every club when his team talks run out of effect, Holloway will start to suffer through lack of a defence & eventually be relegated, probably next season.

Hate to have to admit it but although not relevent du to lack of Englishness, Gollum is a class above the pair of them for keeping a bunch of fucking troglodytes competitive every season.

I'm sure you're taking the piss but in case you're not; David Moyes.

so many ridiculous statements in this post its untrue!!! Redknap has done a great job with spurs! they have allways had high targets and maybe been underachievers but they have never been true top 4 and maybe even title contenders as they are now....
True liverpool arent as good as they where but they still beat 16 other teams including ourselves to 4th spot!
plus harry has never managed a side as good as spurs before, really don't see why anything would go so wrong so quickly when he has continued to improve them since he took the job, after taking pourtsmouth further than anyone could ever imagine! sure they are in a mess now but thats not his fault IMO, the chairman deals with finance, harry spent what he was told he can and brought success. By far the best english manager for me.
