So you can't judge a manager just on results...a lot of it depends on his resources. West Brom, Bournmouth and the like etc. will always struggle or be mid table. Not because their managers are worse than the big boys......but because they can't compete financially and get the players they want to build the teams as they see it. That's the way of the world at the moment.
Didnt spend a lot
Just spent well and obviously managed the team well
We are talking in general not specific teams & managers.
As for Leicester weren't they bought buy that Asian bloke who has pumped a good few million into the team. Nothing in the realm of the big boys but enough for that fluke season. But now you mention it...it shows what can be done with relatively small investment.
So if Leicester finishes mid-table this season and get relegated next season is Ranieri a bad manager all of a sudden? or is he still a good one?
