...other than your own. Not looking at the usual suspects here (Holloway, Wenger etc)

I've got a lot of respect for Tony Pulis, even if he likes former Sunderland players. He seems to turn average players into a good team. They may use the "long throw" quite often but they can play good football at times and the long throw seems to have been adopted by many other clubs since. Seeing the way the fans and players reacted to him last week against Villa shows how much the club need him.

Mick McCarthy - never thought he should have been sacked during his time at SAFC, yes we broke records that season for all the wrong reasons, but we didn't play bad football and had very little money to invest in the squad. He's signed good players for Wolves, the type of players that give their all such as Doyle. Always worth a laugh during the post match interview, he's rather blunt.

Moyes - Uses youth players in the squad fairly often and has an eye for hidden gems. Seems to deal with injuries well, using his squad to good effect even when they have no forwards. This is the 3rd consecutive season they've been in the relegation zone during September, but I feel this season Everton will again finish strongly.

All IMO of course, feel free to ridicule me hehe

I hate to say this, but I'm sure IM, Bilb etc will love me.

Harry Redknapp (sp?) is a brilliant manager (Bar his tax dodging or whatever that was) and always has an eye for quality players - Bale, Modric, Corluka VDV and I could continue..

He didn't sign Modric did he?

whistle

Well, he still gets the best out of his players and I reckon he'd be a brilliant England manager.

Tony Pulis, especially after recent events. Top character.
