In an age where the vast majority of football managers are utter nobs, who is your favourite and least favourite?

Topping the pile for biggest wanker, it's got to be Billy Davies at Forest. I couldn't have less time for him if I tried. Closely followed by Mourinho I think. I just don't get the love in with him.

In terms of the most likeable manager, is there anyone as admirable as Gary Johnson at Yeovil? Always comes across extremely well, seems genuinely passionate about their football club too.

Billy Davies or Nigel Adkins as worst for me

Likeable I would go for Chris Powell or Nigel Pearson

Used to like him the first time he was in England (and can't stand most things Chelsea) when he was a bit of a breath of fresh air really. Seems to have become a bit of your run of the mill tedious top flight manager now.

Strange question. A bit like asking who is the most likeable holding midfielder in the country.

hmm - well I think managers receive too much media attention. And some of them use this to deflect attention from their players with their err "personality". Mourinho is an absolute master at that (as was Ferguson). I would rather we ignored them really.

Billy Davies. Seems to wage a personal bitter war against almost everyone, including any Forest supporting journalists. Overrated also - Forest have spent shed loads on transfers and player wages to build a squad of PL class, despite the club having no greater turnover than the Albion, Leeds and Derby, and yet they aren't walking the division with Leicester and QPR.

Like Nigel Pearson - is generally fair in his comments when his team loses, and rode out last season's storm with humility and calm when noisy whingers wanted him sacked.
