It’s an interesting one and maybe not as straightforward on first thought, are you judging on silverware? League position, how the players performed under them?

Because essentially they’ve all been sacked and left the club ok not the best terms and we have Ten Hag who we’ll see about. But as far as success, player performance despite what you may think of him, it’s gotta be Mourinho hasn’t it? Ten Hag hasn’t got a clue what his style of play is and is just as bad a man manager as modern mourinho so it’s up in the air to me.

Who would you say has been the best?

    I’m not sure it’s accurate to say ETH is a bad man manager. There have been a couple of players he’s had run ins with, but one was CR7, who is about as diva as they come, and the other is a young player who’s done nothing and thinks he’s somehow entitled to play just because he had one good season at his old club 4 years ago, and publicly came out in defiance of the manager.

    Frankly, had it been Fergie, CR7 would have been sold in the summer before he left, because he was never going to fit the system (it was patently obvious ETH was told when he came in that he had to keep him), and he would have done exactly the same with Sancho, he’ll be gone in January.

    It’s funny how being hardline with players is seen as tough love and putting the club first when you’re winning, but it can turn into getting labelled as a bad man manager when you’re not.
