This is a match between hyped managers, not between all good managers.

Besides, Everton, probably West Ham, and surely Leicester, are not teams of the same caliber as the big six.
We need a table where the performance of the manager plays the most meaningful role, and the number of star players the least meaningful.


Tottenham are a smaller club than you credit them for, in that case. So we should only really be talking about City, United, Chelsea (tier 1) and Arsenal, Liverpool (tier 2+).

If you want to focus on the big managers, then why does Pochettino get a place at that table? Bilic, Raineri and Koeman are of comparable calibre. With TV money, these teams have also done significant strengthening (ok, maybe not Soton or Spurs).

Take all of them in, and the performance of managers is what would count, with the entire squad at their disposal.

Pochettinio gets a place at the table so that he can sit at the bottom of that table and we can rub it in BC's face

FFS let down by all three of them.

Still think away games should have a slight edge though :coffee:

Also, include Points Per Game as a metric - or it is not reflective when each has played a diff number of games.


Also, Pochettino should not be anywhere near this. But let him stick around while Spurs have their run, I guess.

Ranieri should be included even if you don't want to include the rest. He's just won the PL ffs.

Also because Klopp gets more points.

Spurs against "typical" top 5 2015-2016
United: 3 points of 6
City: 6 points of 6
Liverpool: 2 points of 6
Chelsea: 2 points of 6
Arsenal: 2 points of 6

Points per game wise you might not be impressed, but against the "typical" top 5 last year, Poch won 3, drew 6 and lost just one in 10 games. When you take into account that Poch wasn't responsible for Spurs players choking the NLD's away even though Spurs should have won both as well as the infamous 2-2 at the Bridge last year, it looks like Poch has done pretty well. Could easily be W6 D3 L1. I think he deserves a seat at the table.

I explained before why Ranieri isn't included. I can explain again. After that, I'll expect the incessant questioning and second guessing of my design to stop.

This is a match between the hyped big name managers of the Prem.
Ranieri is too much of a grand-dadly, honorable gentleman that I would want him involved in this circus.
Besides, his managerial achievement of last season is beyond competition and it wouldn't do justice to this achievement, and neither the man, to have him sit at the end of this table, as he surely would. Leicester won't win many games against top teams this season. It's not a fair contest.

All right?
Moving on then.

I'm not really sure how it works. I mean, in one sense I agree--their results against top sides look similar. Some winning, a lot of drawing and not much losing.

And I know you're just playing but if you watch Spurs against the top teams it's not like they ever play negatively. Poch doesn't set up his teams like Mou against the top teams. Spurs still try to play the way Poch's Spurs. I would concede there is a bit more of a conservative nature to the game, but that's to be expected regardless. For some reason Spurs just happen to draw a lot of the games against the top teams and I'm not really sure why. You know, other than the whole choking away leads against good teams cuz it's Spurs. Perhaps that's it.

I find much fallacy and delusion in this post. So, as a forum of the posters, by the posters, and for the posters, I expect the incessant questioning and second guessing of your design to continue. This is no authoritarian regime.

Here are the Arsene-specific points, at the risk of nitpicking:

- Wenger is not 'hyped'. He's got 20 years at the top level. None of the others have matched that (yet). Mou and Klopp have already had their turns finishing mid-table. Pep is an exception(al manager). If 'hype' is your criteria, then Wenger shouldn't be on that list. Nobody is 'hyped' about Arsenal or Wenger. At best, realistically, we'll finish second or third.

- Wenger is also a grand-dadly and honorable gentleman. Heck, he's probably the only non-arrogant manager in that list. Klopp is also down to earth, but neither have ever publicly thrown their players under the bus - that is just one possbile measure of being gentlemanly. And in fact, Wenger is so much of a granddad that I find him to be a dinosaur, past his sell by date, and incapable of winning any major honors with his stubbornness and unwillingness to change.

Though I do not agree with your reasons, based on the first six game weeks, I can agree on the choice of the managers in the list. It would still be interesting to have the likes of Koeman and Rainieri in the pool, but I see the risk that it ends up becoming a case of statpadding.

I am still unconvinced by your (lack of) argument(s) on why away wins should not get more credit. :coffee:

Pochettino has some class, and probably the only Spuds manager I have (halfway) respected in over a decade. #EndOf
