cambridgeshire canary 6,512 Posted April 9, 2021 Xisco wins it twice in a row. Â Let's hope that the curse strikes twice as hard for watford Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petriix 2,821 Posted April 9, 2021 Obviously Farke didn't deserve it. We drew a game in March where Watford won all five of their games. When is Farke going to realise that it's games within a calendar month that are important, not the overall league table? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farke has constantly said he isn’t that interested - it is fans/media making the ‘fuss’. That said, it does seem odd that a team can win a title one year, be on the cusp of it two years later and yet the manager has just one solitary monthly award to show for both seasons combined. That’s utterly ridiculous. Edited April 9, 2021 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is the press and the message boards that go on about it, not Daniel. Watford’s manager will be fired when they lose a couple anyway. I know who I would rather have in charge.

I think @Petriix is speaking with tongue in cheek here, and basically saying 'who gives a stuff about an arbitrary Manager of the Calendar Month award, just look at the league table'. They'll probably give Manager of the Year to Xisco Munoz on a tie-breaker for having a better-scoring name at Scrabble... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted April 9, 2021 I’ve no doubt DF will be overlooked for the season award.  I’m still astonished he didn’t get it two seasons ago - we were widely expected not to do much and yet won the title, but Wilder was clearly so much better....

Moosebadge 28 Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) As it happens Xisco only managed 12 games before he came to us and does not yet have the required badges to manage in the premier league. We contacted him initially to be an assistant coach but Vic was so bad he got fired which bumped Xisco up. No one expected him to do what he has. But should we go up he will be an assistant to someone else until he has badges sorted. Farke is 100 percent manager of year. Would be outrageous not to win that.

To be fair, credit where credit is due, Xisco has done superbly under similar circumstances in an atmosphere that is more fraught. I'd actually say Ismael at Barnsley has also done a magnificent job turning them into play-off contenders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've just realised that Farke has understood this all along, and once a month he sabotages his chances by getting a draw in order to avoid the MOM curse. Gosh! that guy is so damn clever, unparalleled attention to detail. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they ended up getting promoted then he's got to be a shoe-in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well DF was the only title winning manager NOT to win Manager of the season , the year we went up. Wilder got it . So there will be some nonsense applied even if we win the league by 10 points ! Edited April 9, 2021 by Graham Paddons Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No manager of the month curse then I don't believe there's a curse though, the system penalises consistency so I'm not surprised that the managers who do win it can't keep it up. Mick McCarthy is the classic example of the new manager bounce, comes in and gets the players organised and fired up, they go on a good run and he gets Manager of the Month, and then everything reverts to the mean again. Michael Bailey wrote a good article in the Athletic last month on this topic, so stealing his graphic. Sums it up that Warnock's won it more than Farke, Bielsa and Wilder.
