The Classiest Manager in World Football

[Red Nick]

Any advance on Pepe Guadiola

 

trying to think of any other manager with such class and dignity that actually bucks the trend of good guys win.

 

Rafa had it in 2005 and 2006 then lost it with petty spats with Ferguson,

 

Maybe Hiddink and Van Gaal but I dont see enough of them on a daily basis to make a real judgement call.

[Guest LFD]

Dalglish. :whistle:

[Guest PurpleNose]

Big Sam.

[Il Fenomeno]

Ancelotti is definitely a classy bloke.

[Eljeficito]

Joe Kinnear

[Red Nick]

Ancelotti is definitely a classy bloke.

 

Forgot all about him he seems to have given Chelsea some form or respectabillity

 

Defo and LFC manager if ever there was one out there.

[Deepz]

Jose.

[Jefecito]

Martinez.

Ancellotti is a class above, most people respect Chelsea now, which considering they have Terry and Cole and were despised not long ago is no mean feat. In the same way AC Milan were also respected, he's got humour, class and dignity. While we are on Italians Di Matteo seems to have it as well and I've missed Mancini's gaffes if he's made them (except for the scarf). You can add Ranieri as well.

 

On the other side of the coin, Ian Holloway, what a star, no class at all but a true star indeed. "some....... person" shows restraint in the middle of a massive Keegan like rant.

[Malarkey]

Martinez.

 

Tremendous shout.

 

Even with the team of cloggers he started out with, he stuck to his guns and made them play football.

 

He loves us, aswell.

[YNWAViking]

Rafa (or "Roffa" as Hicks liked to call him).

[RobbieOR]

Guardiola for me also.

[YNWAViking]

Hmm, or, maybe...

 

[Malarkey]

[Yozzer]

Di Matteo or Martinez have got to be up there.

[WrongIslander]

Dario Gradi

[Joe Le Taxi]

[Gary Mac Legend]

We had one of the classiest managers, we bundled him out to Inter Milan.

 

Rafa oozes class, fought the good fight for us. Legend. Every day Roy's in that seat, is just so painful knowing Rafa should and would be there.

 

Other nominations, Ancelotti, Wenger, Martinez, Pellegrini, Capello, Di Matteo, Zola.

 

With a special mention to Sir Bobby Robson, RIP.

 

 

Guardiola? After his treatment of Sami Eto'o? Fuck off.

Del Bosque looks a like a classy dude. Well dressed all the time. Good with the press.

[moz]

Dalglish. :whistle:

 

I can remember distinctly that Dalglish once had a spat with Fergie and said in front of the media that his baby daughter had more sense than the Red Nose. So it's ok for the King to pick a fight with Fergie but for not Rafa?

[RJ Fan club]

Roly Howard.

[kimmern]

Sir Bobby Robson

Del Bosque looks a like a classy dude. Well dressed all the time. Good with the press.
