Rate the current Premier League managers

eagle eye

Just thinking about this as we approach the end of the season. Rank the managers in the order you rate them at the present time.

1. Alex Ferguson - Just keeps on doing what he has done since the Premier League began.
2. Carlo Ancelotti - Proven winner and only the top man's team got in his way this year
3. Kenny Dalglish - Proven winner and the turnaround at Liverpool after a terrible season and a half under Benitez and Hodgson just shows how good he is.
4. Arsene Wenger - For all the young players that have come through, he hasn't delivered any title in quite a while now.
5. David Moyes - Everton keep on staying up there just behind the rich clubs and even ahead of some of them.
6. Tony Pulis - Stoke just get better and better under him.
7. Roberto Mancini - All the money in the world but he got them to the Champion's league so we can't be too harsh.
8. Mark Hughes - While I think he is a better manager than Mancini, he didn't do it with City. Still he has improved Fulham this season.
9. Owen Coyle - I expect this man to be moving up the list over the next few years. I expect him to get a big job soon. For me his has the most potential of anybody currently in the Premier League.
10. Harry Redknapp - The team have not been up to standard this season. He has to take the blame for that. He should have brought in a goalkeeper and a centre forward but he chose to spend big money in the one place he was pretty strong which was midfield.
11. Roy Hodgson - Had a terrible time at Liverpool but redeemed himself somewhat with the huge improvement he brought about at West Brom.
12. Alex McLeish - He got some sliverware but his team has struggled mightily in the league.
13. Ian Holloway - It looks like Blackpool might get relegated but they put up some fight. I hope we get to see a lot more of this man in the Premier League. Like Coyle with Burnley last season he done a lot with a team of nobodies. Really would love to see him get the Rovers job.
14. Mick McCarthy - His team has had a lot of bad luck this year but look like they will survive. I've been impressed with Wolves against the bigger teams and I think things will improve under him as time goes on.
15. Steve Bruce - Lost Darren Bent which had to hurt a lot. His team have fallen a long way since Christmas but really with all the money he has had they should be able to lost one player and still do well.
16. Alan Pardew - Came in to Newcastle in controversial circumstances but has held it together. I think Hughton would have done as well or maybe better but he has done ok.
17. Gerard Houllier - Villa have been terrible all year. Lots of problems at the club and even with all the additions in January they didn't improve much.
18. Roberto Martinez - I just don't rate the guy at all. Wigan were lucky last year to stay up. I think they will go down this season but there is nothing I see in this man that makes me think any other Premier League club would be interested in him.
19. Avram Grant - Looked decent in his time at Chelsea but he is leading a second club to relegation in successive years. There are no excuses this time.
20. Steve Kean - Venky's bought Rovers and shocked us all when they gave him the job at Rovers. A pathetic return of 17 points from 19 games says it all really. A complete novice in management who has failed miserably. Rovers are lucky that they had 22 points when he took over as it looks like they will avoid relegation.
