1st Place: Fred Dodger Swansea City 55%
2nd Place: Flip Sides Manchester United 15%
2nd Place: Simo Manchester City 15%
Fred is a worthy winner of this award, after just surviving a relegation scare the season before, Fred took his Swans to within touching distance of the Division 1 Title, finishing just 3 points behind eventual winners Man City. With the quality at his disposal compared to other managers in and around, this is a tremendous achievement and 1 which is well recognised by his peers (I think 1 or 2 were hoping he did the impossible).
Manchester United may have only finished 3rd in the league (their worst league position in 279 after 4 league titles & 1 2nd place finish), but winning both the Cup & Shield should satisfy the board. Expect United to be up there again next season!
In joint 2nd place is Simo of Man City, most people would argue he has the strongest squad at his disposal, but against the wits of some very strong managers he came out on top in the end.
Cheers lads, very nice to be voted by your peers and makes up a bit for the end of season heartbreak!! Looking forward to another season at the sharp end in 279. Fred Dodger
