Managers not mentioned

Some managers ive not heard mentioned and was wondering what people thought of them

Osian Roberts? Once described as the most influential man in Welsh football and a world class coach.

Aitor Karanaka? Got Middlesbrough to a play off final only to miss out in the final, and then got Middlesbrough promoted at the second attempt. Was also unlucky to get sacked at Nottingham Forest when they were 8th.

Nigel Adkins? Did a great job at Scunthorpe getting them to the championship and got Southampton back to back promotions whilst playing great football and bringing through Southampton youth players. Also did well at Hull City on a tiny budget before leaving at the end of the season.

Adkins I rate, plus he’s a cool experienced head

Karanka not so cool, but might be the exotic choice some want, but who also knows the Championship

I don't get this Osian obsession people have to be honest. Isn't he supposed to be unbelievably arrogant.

Adkins has a mixed record but I do like him.

I’d totally swerve the other two.
