Football Managers that you LIKE

[BigGully]

Martinez
Strachan
Bruce

All seem decent men.

Had Chelsea TV a while ago and used to watch their managers press conference and Ancelotti came across well.

He might have the sympathy vote now after the way he was treated at Cardiff, but I recall him being a whiny sod when he was at Watford. Mind you, that might have been because he was at Watford.

Myself, I quite like Gordon Strachan and Mark McGhee. Good that they're working together now.

I like Gordon Strachan for his absolute honesty in interviews. I remember a post match interview when he was asked what went wrong after a heavy defeat, he replied "We were rubbish today, and got what we deserved."

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

As said above. Russel Slade may have been the nicest man on the planet....let alone in football management.

 

[northernseagull]

Owen Coyle
Brendan Rodgers

 

[MJsGhost]

I like Roy Hodgson - always comes across as an intelligent, decent chap.

Lots of love for Roberto Martinez on this thread too - can't disagree with that at all...

 

[Ian Bairds Fist]

Tosh.

A meaningless statement.

I'll put you in the 'Doesn't understand football' box then.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Fair enough. I keep an open mind on these things, and he has been a great listen on talkSPORT. Mind you, he is presenting next to Alan Brazil, so most of us would sound good by comparison as well.

Agree, he is a good listen.

Certainly better than Cork and Ginola

 

[keaton]

I'd agree wth Hill, McCarthy, Powell, Wenger and Martinez.

I like Sean Dsyche as well, did a good job at Watford, and an excellent one at Burnley at the mo.

I like Gordon Strachan for his absolute honesty in interviews. I remember a post match interview when he was asked what went wrong after a heavy defeat, he replied "We were rubbish today, and got what we deserved."

'Gordon can I ask you for a quick word?'
'Velocity'

One of the better quotes out there.

 

[The Camel]

Brendan Rodgers
Roberto Martinez
I used to despise Steve Bruce, but he seems to have mellowed recently.
Martin Jol seems like a great bloke.
I met Avram Grant while I was on holiday a couple of years ago. Seemed like a nice bloke.
Also met Gus a couple of years ago. Didn't seem like his public persona, was not arrogant or self obsessed at all.

 

[lawros left foot]

Martinez, Rodgers ,Wenger, Bruce, and one who isn't a manager anymore, Stuart Pierce, rubbish manager, but a top bloke, and a bit bonkers

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Agree with Chris Powell.....also Tony Pulis for fining his players for diving.

 

[Braders]

Poyet
Adams
Slade
Taylor
Clough
Cotteril
Wilson
Barker
Pearson
Powell
Lambert
Martinez

Goes against my grain but I don't hate Solskjaer as a manager despite him being an ex-Manc Scum
Controversial but I genuinely like Mourinho , a great Anti-Ferguson

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

Martinez, Dyche, Powell and Bruce.

 

[warsaw]

Billy Davies Modest, knows the division inside out, what's not to like

 

[RexCathedra]

Now in the office suites, but Dario Gradi...

 

[shoreham seagull 1973]

I wish David Moyes to succeed, he has been left with a piss poor team, and just goes to show what a good manager SAF is/was for getting the best out of turd players

Top comment, made me laugh. It wqs meant to be a joke wasn't it?

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Martinez,Moyes and Hodgeson who unfortunatly has not got the team to give him a fighting chance.

 

[hybrid_x]

Mourinho, Martinez, Rodgers, and Mcghee.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

the spanish fella at Everton,absolute gent
