Who was the best manager you've had, and why?

I would have to say my now present manager ( Earl). He is supportive, kind, courteous, intelligent, funny, soft- spoken, ambitious, outgoing, smart, positive, helpful, responsible, goal oriented and of course the best boss in the US of A! I wouldn't be able to do my job efficiently if it wasn't for his praise, ideas and endless encouragement to make me a better asst.manager. He needs to get the "boss of the year" award, I think.

Definitely Fergie! I'm not saying this just because I'm a Man United fan. I know they haven't been doing too well recently but looking back at the records you have to admit that Fergie's brought loads of success to the team. Sure, Mourihno's doing great but given that huge amount of budget he's expected to do well. I guess Benitez's alright but Wenger's out of the question.

I am not sure who my favorite is, but I can tell you my least favorites thus far...  in order from bad to worst they are ..... Bruce Arena for bringing decent players and not allowing them to play their game, and for also allowing our P*ssy of a captain to continually be a giant t*at on the field without ever wanting to pull him off.... Ricardo Lavolpe of Mexico, mainly because he is a trashy Mexican who smokes on the sidelines.... and finally Sven Goran Errikson, who is ruining a perfectly excellent England side by not motivating them and making foolish selections (the exclusion of Jermaine Defoe from the side is one which I hope he deeply regrets), and then playing a washed up d-bag like Michael Owen (one of the worst first touches in football and no longer has the pace to make up for it), and a freakin' scarecrow like Peter Crouch (Wayne Rooney is 3 times the player and about half the size!)  However, I think the two best coaches so far have been Jose Pekermann of Argentina whose substitutions have been brilliant and whose faith in Saviola has paid off massively... and finally Scolari of Portugal has been brilliant as well, i don't need to  explain it, anyone who knows football knows what i am speaking of!\n\nP.S.  I love your inclusion of Suarez, he's done a brilliant job with that team so far and England will almost most certainly be out coached in this next match if Errikson doesn't do something drastic!

Sam Allardyce, Steve McLaren are good choices. If the FA decided to use foreign manager, they can use Rafael Benitez or Fabio Capello.

It's definitely Rafa Benitez!\n\nJose "Moan"inro could be the best coach/manager of EPL only if he can win the League, FA Cup & League Cup in the same season. I have already spared him for the CL.\n\nGiven the quality as well as quantity of players at his disposal, winning the League is a must, and that's the only thing he managed to achieve, besides a League Cup last year...\n\nIf Jose is really so 'special', with the players he has, Chealsea should be invisible, at least domestically, as we are talking about EPL managers.\n\nManU's AF, Arsenal's AW are doing an admirable job with their respective team. However, I want to mention about managers of West Ham, Wigan & Tottemham, they are doing something special to their teams!\n\nI chose RB for this year's best EPL manager because he's done a great job. Well, Liverpool are obviously not quite there to win the League this term but you can see the rapid progress! With the total points they secured this term, it's enough to win the league in several other seasons. (Credit to JM & AF) Winning the FA Cup the hard way through ManU & Chealsea shall tell the story! And there's a lot steel he has injected into this rejuvenated Liverpool!

Pele` without a doubt was THE BEST. Following hin very, very far one from Eusebio - George Best - Sivori: it only depends from personal opinion.

The one I work for now is the best.  We get along great.  The worst I've had was at my last job.  She was backstabbing bitch and she talked about everybody then acted like their best friend to their faces.  She even talked trash about her best friend, the assistant manager.

Before you get too tied up in the pure academics of management keep in mid that the best manager are leaders.  They inspire loyalty, motivate people and provide rewards out side of money.\n\nMy only reference is managing/leading people for 25 years while also having  BS, MA and MBA degrees.\n\nYou might think about interviewing or just talking to people you feel are leaders in your school, work, community, etc.

I am uncertain as to whether he is THE best person for the job. General concensus is the next manager should be English (despite Scolari being offered it).\nWhen you narrow your options to an English manager - although proven at Premiership/club level (the likes of Allardyce, Pearce and Curbishley) - you do not have a manager who is proven at winning big tournaments - or even managing at International level.\nWith Steve McLaren at least, you have a manager who has a solid background in Premiership management, who has (this year) taken his team to the final of the Uefa Cup (despite 2 very difficult second legs in the last 2 rounds) and you can also add several years working within the England setup, which can only be beneficial in terms of ensuring a smooth transition. So I think out of the remaining shortlisted candidiates (that want the job), he is probably, on balance, the best choice.

The smartest person I met was my old boss Roy Wilson. He was a biochemist and ex-Naval Commander. He taught me alot about runnning business and he did it with such ease and grace. I worked under him for over 15 years until he passed away. I have never met anyone like him again. (Rest in peace Roy..I still love you) He was the Father I wished I had had...
