DOGGER 0 Posted September 27, 2010 What are everyones thoughts?Is Lambert up there with the best?Where would you put Keane, after all he did gain promotion with Sunderland? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambert is King 0 Posted September 27, 2010 I bite my tounge when I say it but facts speak louder than persona opinion and base on success at this level it could only be Neil Warnock for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,317 Posted September 27, 2010 Personally i think Lambert is right up there and is potentially the best of the bunch but still has to prove that to the wider world. Robins and Malky both also look to have good potential which is promising for us because Lambert will leave us one day and there now appear to be a few young, ex Norwich boys making a name for themselves as managers and who may be possible successors.Others that i rate: Warnock, Jones, Davies (when he''s not rowing with everyone), O''Driscoll. Also have to say Grayson is doing well so far this season because personally I think that Leeds side is garbage at this level but I guess he will (again) be tested when the early momentum wears off.Rubbish: Sousa, Ferguson, Laws.Keane I think knows what he''s doing in many ways but is also a complete c**t who is likely to fall out with people and that will always hold him back.

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted September 27, 2010 I''ll tell you in April or May. Colin is the leading contender at the moment, based on matches won and points on the old scoreboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert N. LiM 4,350 Posted September 27, 2010 Colin certainly has the best nickname. And he has been there, done it, etc. Lambert has immense potential but still has much to prove. Just as it''s more difficult playing a league up, so it is more difficult managing. Lambert has made mistakes this season, and will make more. We need to let him, because, with McNally, he''s the best thing that has happened to this club since Chase resigned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delia Out! 0 Posted September 27, 2010 Neil Warnock or Doncaster Manager :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangles 0 Posted September 27, 2010 I really think Pearson is one of the best managers in the league and I think Lambert is in a similar mould. I also rate O''Driscoll, as well as Warnock and Jones.Goes without saying that I think Sousa is one of the worst, never have I known a manager who is so arrogant and speaks so much crap.

Gingerpele 0 Posted September 27, 2010 I think it would be me....I wouldn''t bother playing a GK, so could have an extra striker :PO''Driscoll i think is pretty good.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,293 Posted September 27, 2010 Warnock.....He''s vastly experienced......Lambert, is gaining experience and still learning his craft....But - he''ll be as good as the best, in a few seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the stump 0 Posted September 27, 2010 warnock for me dont really like the guy but iam fairly sure he will get qpr promoted this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted September 27, 2010 In a results-based business like pro football, it has to be the guy sitting top-of-the-league.Neil Warnock is absolutely romping it at the moment, so what is there to question?If he had a team with ex-Prem players like Jimmy Bullard along with generous parachute payments, then Lambo would most likely be leading this league. Mind you, given the resources at his disposal, our manager is doing a fine job.I wouldn''t swap him with any other Championship manager that''s for sure!

Delia Out! 0 Posted September 27, 2010 After more thought, I think O''Driscoll at Doncaster.Because he has had barely anything to spend and has produced a squad that is capable of finishing in the top 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.B.C 0 Posted September 27, 2010 The best manager will be the one who gets them promoted. Then out of the 3, well that''s another argument. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted September 27, 2010 [quote user="Canaries in Bed"]The best manager will be the one who gets them promoted. Then out of the 3, well that''s another argument.[/quote]Disagree with that. QPR have millions to build a team with, Doncaster have pounds and pence. If Doncaster finished 3rd and lost in the playoff final, they will have massively overachieved. QPR, on the other hand, will get promoted and take it as their expected result from the season. Or, to put it another way, Kenny Dalglish won the Premiership with Blackburn Rovers, but only because he bought success - he was not the best manager that season (arguably Frank Clark was, based on results versus expectations)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994%E2%80%9395_FA_Premier_League#Final_league_table Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Power Hamster 0 Posted September 27, 2010 Its got to be Warnock, based on what he has done over the years. You don''t have to like him to appreciate that at Championship level he has done a good job at pretty much every club he has been at.Lambert may well in time come to be one of the best, but after only 8 games at this level it is far to early to judge.

ca 1 Posted September 28, 2010 Neil Warnock - easily [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Europe_93 11 Posted September 28, 2010 Dave Jones - pulled more rabbits out the hat than Paul Daniels.You may think of Cardiff as a buying club or being in a lot of debt, but that is Sam Hammam''s legacy & ground change, but he has continually had to sell his best players. Joe Ledley, Roger Johnson, Loovens, Aaron Ramsey, Cameron Jerome, Michael Chopra ..... He also got them promoted from League 1, and did well at Stockport in the lower leagues. Add to his ''experiences'' at Wolves, Everton & Southampton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo 0 Posted September 28, 2010 Close between Warnock, O''Driscoll & Jones for me aswell. Warnock''s a fantastic motivator of players, much like Mourinho he creates a us vs the world mentality, making them work even harder for eachother. O''Driscoll because he''s built a great team on a shoestring budget & Jones for the reasons above, despite what people say about Cardiff he has had to sell a big name pretty much every year since he arrived there.

TheGoogler 324 Posted September 28, 2010 Warnock, O''Driscoll and Jones for me too. I also think Malky is cruelly underrated and Mark Robins is decent. I don''t think Lambert is far out of that six though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncfc4life 0 Posted September 28, 2010 I would say Neil Warnock although David Jones isnt too far behind. Also think Kenny Jackett is pretty under rated. Done well at Swansea and has done a terific job at millwall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
