There have been 40 Premier League managers this season. FORTY. We have ranked them and Frank Lampard makes the bottom five...twice.
Wolves’ awful run-in last season spilled over and became a terrible start to this one. They’d won one in eight at the start of the campaign when the goodwill with Lage’s drab football finally ran out. They’d scored three goals in those eight games without ever managing more than one in a single game. They are far better now in every single way under Julen Lopetegui having slowly but surely steered themselves away from the relegation bunfight.
Selles’ Southampton are obviously still poor, but also remain entirely on brand when it comes to bothering the Big Six. They’ve lost six of their last nine in the Premier League, with their three draws coming at Old Trafford and the Emirates as well as the 3-3 against Spurs that tipped Antonio Conte over the edge.
‘Vieira is yet to taste victory in 2023 and the only mitigation for that is a conspiracy theory we’re fully paid up to: for shadowy and unknown reasons Palace have to play about 68% of all their games against the Big Six. Sure, MSM so-called fixture lists will suggest they play the Big Six no more or less often than anyone else but that’s just cos they’re in on it. Go on, try and think of a Palace game that wasn’t against the Big Six. You can’t. No wonder they never win.
In a season of utter madness let us never, ever forget that Conte’s rant came on a night where, were it not for Southampton being awarded a very dodgy injury-time penalty, Spurs would have gone third in the table. Third! It was only six weeks ago!A genuinely magnificent two-game interregnum for the Villa caretaker, featuring a 4-0 win over Brentford and a 4-0 defeat at Newcastle.
In 19 games that have earned a thoroughly acceptable 27 points, Wolves have never gone more than three without a win under Lopetegui. He has successfully kept the Wolves from the door but, as with other teams whose disappointing seasons will by definition end with Premier League status intact the bigger question will be what comes next.Very tricky to place now.
Fascinating to see what Potter’s next move will be, because it feels like an absolutely huge career crossroads now.Back-to-back wins over relegation battlers Chelsea and Forest have made sure a fine season didn’t peter out into anything approaching meh.
Still have to believe that the combination of untold riches and relative lack of attention makes the City job the best in the world, but that doesn’t mean just anyone could do it. It takes someone like a Guardiola or an Allardyce to nail this kind of task, and once all the new parts were fully incorporated into the City Machine they have been utterly breathtaking.
