Manager of the year?

[Il Pirate]

After today's whipping of the spuds, MOTY has to be Avram Grant. After all the sh@t pompey have been through this year. (And he's still not been paid).

[CAPSLOCK]

NO

[Bruce Rioja]

Roy Hodgson.

I think Mick McCarthy's possibly achieved the most if he stays up, but whether he'll get any official nod after Utd-awaygate we'll see.

Grant I don't know. I think Gordon Brown might have been able to inspire Pompey to pull that off today. After all that's gone on it was a cracking win and am pleased for their fans that they'll get to have a big day at the end of what must've been an awful season. Least this trip won't bankrupt em eh.

I'm absolutely made up for them. Watching Chelsea go 2 up yesterday, securing their spot in the final, and their shithouse fans are giving it the matter-of-fact applause, it doesn't mean a thing to them.
Pompey fans today were going ballistic, they didn't even know if they'd have a team to support come may. Furthermore they get to put one over on the crooked bastard that was complicit in taking them to where they are now.

I'd love it, love it, if they win the thing outright. Love it!

[BWFC_Insane]

I thought today was one of the most marvellous things to happen in football. I'm no great Portsmouth fan or owt but you have to feel for their fans and they have today had something, brilliant happen from all the shite they've endured this season. I bet they enjoyed today MORE than their FA Cup win 2 years ago, it was just so unexpected.

Good on em. Who knows their name may just be on the cup but I rather fancy today was their destiny and the final against a very well oiled and physically strong Chelsea side will be a game too far.

And on the plus side saggy chops Redknapp just had to sit there and face the humiliation! Priceless!

Alex McLeish for me. Not the greatest squad in the league but he has got the best out of them.

Kept them up and may even get in the top half.

[potter1989bwfc]

Roy Hodgson.

[perfan]

Roy Hodgson.

[finlayson]

1. Roy Hodgson
2. Avram Grant
3.Ian Holloway

[Tombwfc]

It will be Ancellotti, and that's probably fair enough if he wins the double.

Hodgson and McCleish have done brilliantly, but for once I've no complaints with a Top Four manager winning it.

[CAPSLOCK]

A lot depends on what Hodgsons seasonal objectives were

They are in danger of finishing way further down the league than they should do, thus having a much smaller budget for next season

Mccarthy has a stronger case than Grant, imo

[fatshaft]

Alex McLeish for me. Not the greatest squad in the league but he has got the best out of them.

Kept them up and may even get in the top half.

Aye, McLeish or Hodgson for me too.

[FD]

McLeish, Hodgson or Pulis for me I think.

Maybe Ancelotti though if they do the double.

[Prufrock]

Alex McLeish for me. Not the greatest squad in the league but he has got the best out of them.

Kept them up and may even get in the top half.

Aye, McLeish or Hodgson for me too.

Hodgson
McLeish
McCarthy

In that order. Unless Arsenal win the league, which I don't think they will. Ancelotti?! No chance, possibly winning a two horse race so bad a lame third horse featured towards the top end? Winning a cup competition where the three main rivals all went out in the first two rounds, and getting knocked out of Europe, the one thing he was brought in for, before any of his predecessors? Don't get me wrong, in terms of the FA cup you can only beat what is put in front of you, and he hasn't been bad, but an acheivment even close to Woy taking his Fulham team to the Semis of a European trophy, and making Bobby Zamora look like a proper footballer? No chance.
