Eddie Howe - Nominated for Manager of the Season

[CallumG6]

They’ll give it Slot so Sky Sports can have an orgy about Liverpool and their achievements. 
 

On merit, you can’t look past Nuno or Eddie.

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 .

You can say that again!

Forest are 7th, one place ahead of Brentford, having spent £360m since 2022. In what universe is Nuno a stronger contender than Slot? 

[thomas]

would never want to deny eddie his due but it's hard to look past the phenomenal shifts Ange and Amorim have put in. Top quality work by them.

[Gottlob]

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'.

This is kind of thing people would take the piss out of the mackems for. He’s won Liverpool’s second title in 30 odd years in his very first season. 

[Heron]

I'd expect it to be Howe or Slot tbh. Given it's a PL achievement (specifically) I suspect it will go to Slot.

If you finish 2nd it's Howe for me like, otherwise Slot.

Does he though? Liverpool were always challenging for the league so what is the surprise? 

 

 

 

Nobody had Liverpool winning the League. Most ppl expected a slight decline from Klopp.  A top 4 battle even.

Nobody had Man City or Arsenal being so wet either, TBF.

It's clear now what an amazing job Ten Hag was doing, give it to him.

That's like avoiding giving Eddie credit because Spurs and Man U stink.

[CallumG6]

Granted Slot has done well and won the title in his first season. 

But I think with these awards, you have to compare what's happened to what was expected of them. Forest looked to be lower bottom half, maybe even relegation contenders. Nuno has them in Europe, and if not for a faltering few weeks, in the Champions League.

 

Liverpool however are one of the favourites for the title most seasons, so really Slot has achieved what was expected, Nuno on the other hand has done more than expected.

Just my two cents.

I reckon Nuno is completely out of the running now. They needed to finish top 5 or even top 3 for him to get it over Slot IMO.

 

Howe only has any chance of getting it if we finish second, otherwise it'll be Slot.

Nobody had Liverpool winning the league title. 80% City, 20% Arsenal.

 

I don't even think Liverpool were 3rd favourites. The idea was that Klopp was the best manager they could have and they only finished 3rd last season. They barely strengthened, most expected a slight decrease in performance.

[Boey_Jarton]

Slot deserves the managers award.

 

They've won the league at a cantor and many had him down as Ten Haag Mk II at the start of the season.Granted, those comparison were due to him being bald and Dutch, but they have been consistently the best team all season.

[alexf]

Eddie doesn't need the award, he can win it in future seasons when we win the league. Keep him hungry. 

[PauloGeordio]

Always looking to praise others! 

[CallumG6]

Think my opinion is skewed in my absolute fucking hatred of them. 

[wyn davies]

No way hosay he's getting manager of the season, he's ours and we aren't liked.

I never claimed to be a genius. 

 

Having read what you've said, I feel rather silly and would like to retract my original comment.

I take very little notice of these awards (unless my team wins lol). He inherited a near perfect squad and only managed one trophy and one final. 

 

He'll still win though.

[andycap]

Howe should get it by a mile with a cup win and possible 2nd place. 

Slot has done well but he's got a good squad of players and city have self destructed. So the feat isn't as good in my opinion.
