NEEJ Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 59 minutes ago, Bimpy474 said: I guess a manager can come from an over performing team, It's subjective point of view. Imo, the Premier League Manager of the year is Slot, the points difference in his first season, and not really adding to Liverpool squad made it him for me. Overall manager of the year across all competitions is most definitely Eddie Howe. A trophy, league finish to be determined but looking good for 2nd to 4th. After being prevented from buying any proper first team players for nearly two season, because of cheating rules. It couldn't be no other than Eddie. I'd hope Eddie gets the LMA award. Has to, Shirley? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) I'd say Slot's favourite given them running away with the league in his first season in charge. Who else has exceeded their club's expectations the most? Gotta be Nuno. Forest were probably hoping to avoid a relegation scrap and they're still challenging for top 5. That said, last 2 games - if we win both and finish second & Forest lose both & finish 7th you could make a good case for Howe over Nuno. If we lose both and Forest win both and come above us it would seem mad to pick Howe over Nuno. Edited May 15 by Checko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Finish 2nd or 3rd and it’s definitely Howe’s to lose. Get 5th on goal difference or whatever and you have to give it to Slot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously a great achievement in his first season, but Arsenal and City have been nowhere near. And if we finish 2nd, then the runners up ended up never being in a title challenge all season.

Salah's form this season pretty much won them the league - bar the last few weeks it was his best ever season. His goals / assists were the difference. I am of course not saying Slot did a bad job but it helps massively when you have arguably one of the best players in the world in the form of his life.

Still, I would give the player of the season to him most likely. Slot on the other hand wins the Premier League with +-15 points in his first season without buying anything noteworthy. To me there is no question who deserves manager of the year when we are only looking at the Premier League. Edited May 15 by Displayname Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 6 hours ago, MagPar said: Newcastle have lost to many games to mid level teams for my liking. We should have sewn up CL football before now. Bonus points for the cup win but making us wait until the last day of the season to see what European competition we end up in makes him a no for me. What an incredibly strange take. We are ahead of Chelsea and Man City who have spent billions and only a point behind Arsenal who have spent a fortune as well despite us not buying a first team player for about two years. Every team has bad results during the season. To say we should have sewn up CL by now is wild . We are massively overachieving if anything . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gottlob Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Given the state of Manchester City and Arsenal this season, Arne Slot should feel little pride and receive scant reward for winning Liverpool the Premier League title. He should be punished if anything, for not using this relatively tranquil period to better himself in other aspects of life. Just a couple of months ago Liverpool were being touted for an unprecedented quadruple, yet they'll walk away from this season with just one solitary medallion. That has to count for something, so I'd give the award to Howe or Nuno 'of the spirits'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) I'd expect it to be Howe or Slot tbh. Given it's a PL achievement (specifically) I suspect it will go to Slot. Edited May 16 by Heron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
