Tony Pulis should get it.
For keeping an awful side like Palace up. If Holloway had stayed they would have been relegated already.
Brenda is the most overrated manager ever and he will be found out next season when liverpool go back to midtable
Pochettino does speak English
I know he speaks english, but barely.
Poch is quite good at English. Players say he speaks it fine during training. It's just to the media he doesn't speak English. Think it's to avoid getting his words mixed up or getting misconstrued by the media.

Yeah, from what I hear Claudio Ranieri was the same - he became proficient in English long before he stopped using an interpreter. Then he stopped using him and the whole world just wished he'd shut up...
Anyway, of the three I'd say Pochettino has probably impressed me the most. Of the squad he has, all but three were inherited; he's simply maximising their effectiveness - whereas Rodgers and Martinez have made large-scale changes to implement their styles.
If Liverpool win the title I can't see it going anywhere other than Rodgers. He's dragged up a team that finished 7th last season and made them into genuine title contenders, all without any particularly significant upheavals to the squad over the summer. Though that does make you wonder what he was doing differently last year.
^^Tbf, they did make a load of signings in the summer, most of them were just crap. Mignolet and Sakho have played a fair bit and done OK, Aspas is woeful, Touré isn't setting the world alight and Alberto and Illori were "for the future". Probably more, but I've forgotten them. So he's not very good in the transfer market generally, although Sturridge and Coutinho have more than paid back the £20m they set them back.
Doesn't detract from the job he's done, though. Evidently got a good coaching staff together, as witnessed by the way Suarez and Sterling have improved, and he's maximised the usefulness of Henderson. Their defence is crap but the tactics are so intense that it rarely gets tested. Might struggle with Europe, who knows. My tip for the title, though.
Rodgers surely must win it. He's done the best job this season whether Liverpool win the league or not.
City will win the league but it won't be an amazing achievement or anything. With their squad the race should already be over.
