Arsene Wenger - Changed Arsenal, brought world class players to the Premiership and Arsenal play the best football, turned Henry from winger to striker, toure from midfeilder to defender, cole from striker to defender.All great desicions and he's got the players he has for bargains - Henry cost 10.5m, Toure cost 150k, Fabregas for free aswell as others and sold big players who he made big players for a bigger price then what he got them for, overmars and petit cost about 10m - sold 30m, Vieira cost 3m - sold 13.7m etc etc.....

Sir Alex Ferguson no doubt ^_^ We were in big trouble when he took over but we kept faith that in him and eventually he turned it around :cheer: The best thing about him is how he's never afraid to give youth players a try and so what was probably the best midfield on the 90's only cost £3 million and that was for one player in Roy Keane :o meanwhile Scholes, Giggs and Beckham all came from our youth system. :D Wenger is definitely second though.

Do you mean this season or throughout their career? It depends how you choose to judge them. If you look at their career records, Sir Alex has to be deemed the best! If I were going to pick a manager I liked and respected most of all as a manager, I would choose Steve Bruce :o If you were looking at who made the shrewdest investments in the transfer market, you would probably go with Arsene Wenger.

 

I am going to choose Sir Alex Ferguson. Overall, in my opinion, he has been the best manager in the premiership, though from what I've seen, I don't really think he seems a very nice person, though that's not particularly relevant to this thread.

I mean the best throughout their career. ;)

Martin Jol. He's done amazing things at Spurs.

Sparky of course! :cheer:

It has to be either Ferguson or Wenger really. None of had carreers anything like either of them. Went for Fergie - He's still got it after 20 years at Utd...

Based on their careers I would have to say Sir Alex Ferguson though if it was this season alone it would be different. B)

Much as I despise the man I have to say Wenger is a genius, probably the best spotter of young talent in the history of football :(

Has to be Alex Ferguson, not just what he's achieved with Man U, but previously with Aberdeen, where he consistently beat both Rangers & Celtic winning the league 3 times and the Scottish cup 3 times plus the European Cup Winners Cup and the Super Cup. I believe he's done not bad at Manchester Utd as well. :D

He has proved he can win things with different clubs in different leagues, not many other managers can claim that.

Ferguson without a doubt. Some of his transfer's havent pulled off, looking at the goal keepers in the past is proof of this but even when not doing well he still does respectably.

 

Mourinho is a good manager but tbh i would like to see him in charge of Chelsea on a budget vs Man United on the same budget. Currently he can buy and have any player he wants which makes things unfair.

 

Even having said that man United arent that far behind.

 

 

Initially I would have said Ferguson

 

But, to be different, I am going to say David O'Leary, he was doing fantastic at Leeds, until he squandered all of their money and left them in debt and was fired :(

LMAO

You see why i'm not allowed to talk about sport :(

 

Don't even ask me to explain the offside rule :blink: -_-

Leeds' debt was NOTHING to do with O'Leary Kelly ;)

Who used to manage Leeds then? They were 3rd or 4th in that table thingy when he managed them, who was he? Not this season, years back, maybe 1999 or something I don't know help me people :(

It was O'Leary at that time but the debt wasn't HIM ;) It was the poor running of the club (so Peter Ridsdale and the rest of the higher staff are to blame) that made poor decisions in an attempt to compete with 'the big three' (Man U, Arsenal and Liverpool) a lot of money even came from the club to feed the fish in an office :lol: so it was poor decisions ;) Chelsea were about to be EVEN WORSE become Abramovich came. ;)

Yeah, the amount of money they had was why he did so well. Tbh most managers could do pretty well with that amount of money. I think his time at Villa has shown how good a manager he really is -_-

Well he's getting the opposite at Villa :lol: Doug Ellis is an idiot, I think he's a good manager but he needs to be backed a bit more imo.
