Pellegrini squeaked the title with a squad that should have won it at a canter. Not a bad first season I suppose but he failed to keep the team focused after winning the tin-pot cup and felt the pressure at key stages. Hard to say how he builds from there, next year will be a proper test of his management skills.
Rodgers did very well with probably only the 4th best squad in the league but did have one of the best first teams and some excellent luck avoiding significant injury problems. He also benefited from some spectacular capitulation, didn't have any interest in Europe, dropped out the cups meekly and generally got a bit of an easy ride.
Pulis probably deserves it the most, but he's a cunt.
Should have given it to Martinez, almost managed to get that comedy outfit into the big boy's European competition.
