I always liked Jock Stein. The ethos that his teams played the game should be an example to all football. First Brit manager to bring home the European cup with Celtic. Great loss to the game when he died.

For me it has to be Brian Clough...
Titles with two different teams, and 2x European Cups with an unfashionable side, who 3 years earlier were in the 2nd Division...
Excelled in getting the very best out of some mediocre players.
The man was a master motivator, told it how it was, and should've had the England job.
RIP Cloughie!
My school teams are on a two match unbeaten run. Against Eton, we were 3-0 down at half time but after my team talk........
OK so it was Eton's 6th team,
I can't believe that Morinhio got a mention. My gran could manage a team with a blank cheque book.
I'd hate to guess who the best manager is or was, but I'll guarantee no-one will have heard of them.
I't one thing attracting big names, to a big club, with a big salary, it's a completely different requirement to do reasonably well with little of no resources.
The best managers are those at smaller clubs.

Best 3 Managers:
(1) Sir Alex Ferguson
Won the League and in Europe in Scotland, breaking the Rangers/Celtic stranglehold.
Created 3 completely different English Championship winning teams at Manchester United after taking the job at a club that had a bunch of over paid losers playing for them.
The only English Manager to win The Treble.
(2) Fabio Capello
Won everything in multiple countries.
(3) Brian Cluff
No explanation needed.
3 Most Over rated managers
(1)
Bob Paisley
Took over a winning team in England and Europe and won a few cups when the competition was pityful in both England and Europe.
Left the managers position when he could see the beginnings of a terminal decline for Liverpool into becoming a cup team at the soon to be knocked down 'Theatre of Memories' - This was Anfield.
(2)
Graham Souness
Show him a cheque book and he will show you how to use it, badly.
Give him a call, tell him you are George Weah and you have a top prospect for him......
(3)
Rafa Beneithus
Took over a Valencia side that was already a great side and won an odd trophy.
Has not bought or developed a single good player at Liverpool.
His teams play the most dull boring football imaginable.
Won the CL final in 2005, was it because of his tactical genious at playing Kewell in a free roming role until he got injured, or was it because StevieG put in one of the most impressive single handed 2nd half game saving perfromances ever seen?

I like some of your posts, but this overwhelming hatred of anything red scouse sometimes makes you come across as unknowledgeable.
