Slav is MAN and manager of the year
Not this year,however, as players from unfashionable clubs lead the way with ourselves and Leicester representing the changing of the guard at the top of the Premier League.
That’s all been well covered and we don’t really expect Dimi to become the top man do we?
However, it’s not the Player of the Year that interests me as the MAN…ager of the year and although Claudio Ranieri will have a big shout I reckon there’s only one serious contender – Slaven Bilic.
Ranieri has dignity…Slav has the charm and integrity to go with it – he refuses to moan about dodgy refs despite getting the seriously rough end of the stick all season long.
He’s warm, funny and affectionate – a manager who within a year has coped with a ridiculously long campaign, produced results which nobody could have dreamed of and met triumph and the very odd defeat with maturity and self belief.
Who van forget his one liners about “parking the bus with the handbrake on” or away wins being as “good as walking into a room full of girls.”
No wonder we all love him. He has restored a footballing philosophy we had thought was dead forever and done it with a huge smile on his face.
Integrity is his watchword – he tells the truth in all circumstances and has brought the pride back to not only this great club but to the game of football as a whole.
Slaven Bilic step forward – you are unquestionably the MAN and manager of the year with this website!
