I changed my mind about the Barclays Premier League Manager of the Season based purely on the League. My blog last week said Chelsea’s Carlo Ancelotti. By the time I arrived in London for the voting by the panel I led the argument for Spurs boss Harry Redknapp. In 18 months when Harry arrived at Spurs he has taken the club from bottom of the table to fourth, secured a Champions League pot and broken the big four. The voting was close against Fulham’s Roy Hodgson who will surely win the League Managers Award when they can include the Europa League final. Hodgson has done a fine job at Fulham. The Barclays judging was a week early if you wanted to take in the Premier League Champions but the way the voting was structured the result would have been the same. Well deserved Harry…
…………Blackpool lead Nottingham Forest 2-1 in the Championship play-off first leg at Bloomfield Road.Its a tough ask to win the return leg in Nottingham on Tuesday where Forest are so strong.Cardiff,my favourites for promotion won 1-0 at Leicester this afternoon.Its a huge job for Leicester,last season’s League One Champions,to win Wednesday’s return leg in Wales.
