Think Bruce would have been up there had we not capitulated. Ditto Phil Brown.

How about Tony Pulis as an outsider?

FFS how easy are City making this for their rivals. I can't imagine Everton in a similar situation coming to Anfield and putting in a performance completely lacking in passion and commitment.

Fierce local derby my booty

Finishing second in the league, knocked out of the CL by Chelsea, knocked out of the FA Cup by Everton, knocked out of the Carling Cup by Tottenham = Not in the reckoning.

I agree with you there, what you have coming in isn't upto standard, although may change if you sign Tevez.

I like Tevez but I'd rather our biggest investment this summer be a wide player, preferably David Silva, although he's better in the middle, I think he'd strengthen the left and right side much more than Babel currently is.

In terms of a striker, I just think we need a back up striker who can play up on his own. People have said Babel but I don't rate him to be honest, but I'd like to see Negredo from Almeria back up Torres.

I think our priorities should look like this:

1) Wing - either side
2) Right back
3) Back up striker

The rest then should literally be luxury players, although if Lucas ends up leaving I can see Barry arriving.

Hiddink over Benitez

Liverpool 1-3 Chelsea. Champions League semi final 1st leg.

Liverpool 2-0 up at Stamford Bridge, end up drawing 4-4, which knocks them out.

You manage to ignore the fact that Benitez has turned Liverpool into United's biggest challengers. Whopper. Or, you're just trying to get a bite.....

While Liverpool have been United's biggest challengers, the challenge hasn't been enough. One of the main reasons that Liverpool have managed to challenge at all is the dip in standards from Man United and Chelsea. It also has to be factored in that when Benitez decided to take on Ferguson with his mind games, Liverpool's results suffered.

I put my reasoning forward as to the Manager of the Year. If you think Benitez should be up there then explain why, explain why others shouldn't be.
