Hodgson by far then Pulis then Sam! As Gary Lineker said the other day Roy has tightened things up but not at the expense of flair and attacking football! We’re playing some of the best stuff I’ve ever seen us play and when we play the big boys we give them a game not just hope for the best! Pulis next because of the squad he had to work with was nowhere near as good as it is now or last season but the football wasn’t as good as it is now!

Hodgson without a shadow of a doubt, worst position we have been in. Squad plagued by injuries, desperately short of personnel, lack of on pitch identity, terrible points and goal difference, pretty awful fixture list etc. We have come out of that and are playing in my opinion our best football since promotion, and have seen loads of players come on leaps and bounds.

Daft question - Roy most clearly. Not a daft question at all. All three made significant contributions that in all cases saved us from certain relegation. All three turned our seasons around and got us out of seemingly irretrievable tail spins. Very hard to separate them.

Pulis, we had a championship squad following a chaotic summer window. Roy who. is the better manager, has the potential to leave the bigger legacy.

Objectively speaking, it has to be Pulis The squad he took over was dire. Puncheon was arguably our best player and we had no-one of the class of Luka, Wilf, Yohan, Mama or cost of Benteke Yet he averaged 1.46 points per game - which is 55 over a season - I'm guessing we'd settle for that next year. Allardyce, Pardew and Hodgson are all in the 1.21 to 1.24 range Of course, the football was pretty ugly and he left on a very sour note but that shouldn't cloud the achievement. He won manager of the season. Let's see if Hodgson can match that first

Man City have the richest squad in the world but have broken all records and played the best football the Prem has ever seen over the length of a whole season. Pep has to win Manager of the Season. In any other season if City had just won the league normally, Hodgson would pick up the award. Doesn't mean he's had a lesser achievement than Pulis.

Surely it has to be Pulis. When Holloway left we had just got stuffed 1-4 at home to Fulham, had one win and seven defeats in eight games and were 4 points adrift. He had no Zaha, had Cameron Jerome up front, turned Puncheon into a playmaker, shifted Ward to midfield enforcer / left back and played a masked Mariappa at r/b. Talk about making a chicken salad out of chicken s*** Signed Scott Dann, a fantastic buy, and finished 11th! Tend to agree. First season back in the Prem, having to deal with Ollies sweet shop transfer window of 13 new players, with a half new wafer thin inexperienced PL squad light years from ours this season, no talismanic player. How he managed to turn that squad into 11th place was magic. Edited by Booted Eagle (12 May 2018 7.49pm)

In terms getting the most out of players, it's Pulis, without a shadow of a doubt. A lot of fans will say Pulis' tactics were negative, but lets not forget, we scored 3 against Cardiff in a crucial 6 pointer away from home. We also put 3 past Everton away from home. As for stats, granted, we have scored 10 more goals this season, compared to 13/14, but we won 13 games in 13/14, compared to 10 (so far) this season. Roy however has had a bigger task at hand, the Palace players looked so dejected and clueless during their games against Swansea & Huddersfield, I have never seen anything like it. Roy has done very well to stabilise the team and bring confidence back to the players, but had Roy been here from the start of the season, finishing mid table would have been less of a surprise.

I expect Pep to win but that does not mean Hodgson would be runner-up. Fans of all three promoted clubs feel their manager should be. Obviously, Dyche also has a strong case. I'd argue Zaha has been more important to our survival than Hodgson Personally, if Liverpool win the Champion's League I feel Klopp deserves it (though the CL may not be taken into account). It's the big one, they beat Man City 2x to get there, have played some great attacking football and hardly missed a beat whilst pocketing a fortune on Coutinho. Of course if they miss out on the Top 4..

An interesting thread... I think, if RH can bring a competitive team fully prepared for the PL, next season, that would ensure his legacy as the best of the bunch. What happens to Palace in the close season I don't know - why does the upcoming season become such a battle, a manager who can break that record is my choice. Do hope it is RH.
