Hodgson should get Manager of the year.
1. Alex Ferguson.
2. Guus Hiddink.
3. David Moyes.
4. Harry Redknapp.
5. Roy Hodgson.
Reasoning
1. Champions(probably) for the 3rd year running, CL final qualifiers 2nd year running, CC Cup winners, FA Cup semi finalists (and would have probably been FA Cup finalists if he didn't put in the reserves), Waste of time World Club Champions.
2. Reversed the fortunes of a side who looked, at the time, to be heading out of the CL reckoning. Beat Juve and Liverpool in the CL, with a competent referee would've beaten "the greatest attacking side ever" to reach the CL final. Beat Arsenal in the FA Cup semi.
3. Qualified for Europe again. Reached the FA Cup final by beating Liverpool, Villa and Man Utd reserves.
4. Took over a side who hadn't won in the first 8 matches and managed to take them to 8th in the league. CC finalists, only lost on pens to Man Utd.
5. Possible 7th place finish the season after Fulham only escaped relegation on GD last season.
