Honourable mention should be made to Billy Lane too, who achieved wonders on hardly any budget at all.

Pat Saward too, in that case.

That was widely debunked when I pointed out Sami's £3m increase represented at best polarity or more likely a drop in investment.

Ah ok I missed that. I did wonder if I'd need to back up my statement, which is based entirely on 'feeling'

Think CH is doing a fantastic job

Best manager for me is Steve Gritt eleven points adrift at the bottom of the football league and staring into oblivion when he came in. Despite the massive poo poo that was going on at the time, he turned it around and we survived. Just thinking of that game at Hereford brings a tear to my eye.

For a fanbase that has enjoyed more than it's fair share of 'x out' protests, we seem to have listed an awful lot of managers as the best ever, other than Semi who's left?

Our best manager hasnt been mentioned by anybody yet and he gained us our first ever promotion I give you Billy Lane followed by Alan Mullery then it is tight between Peter Taylor 1 Gus Poyet and Mickey Adams 1.

Doing the best job for us - yes.

Best manager we´ve ever had? No, that was a certain Mr Clough.

What did he achieve without Peter Taylor at his side?

Mullery in first place without a shadow of a doubt. The rest is up for debate but nobody could fail to recognise the miracle that Gritt worked to keep us in the league - and probably in existence.

Mullery for me, by a country mile.
C.H. is doing well, but must get Albion over the hurdle of choking/blowing it in the big games.

Mullery also came very close to getting successive promotions from div 3 to div 1- missing out on goal difference in 1977-1978

It has to be said though, he didn't achieve anything of note when he left here, including his 2nd spell here.
