Most overrated Manager in the Premier League right now?

[rjw63]

De Zerbi , Postecoglu and Potchettino.

And in Yam Yam land Gary O’Neill who is after five minutes in the job already being labelled a legend

Ange for me.

The amount of positive press he gets for a guy who’s won 2x Scottish titles in a one team league,

It hasn't been a one team league since he left in fairness. Easy to look down on the Scottish league, but Celtic were on their arse when he came in and he did a very good job

That all translates into him being a decent upper-midtable manager in the PL, he has been overhyped by the media this year though

Haven’t voted. Don’t know.

I’m mainly here for the inevitable annoyance that some managers are allowed to be known by a single name (Klopp, Pep, Nuno) and others are afforded affectionate nick names (“Big Ange”, ”Poch”).

Looking forward to the various suggested nick names for those without. Oliver Glasner half full, maybe. Chris “Wild Thing” Wilder.

Or Eddie Howe many people have the bosses slaughtered this week.

Kompany almost got my vote if that helps!

I'll defend de Zerbi a touch. I think they did really well last year and overachieved a bit. And they've lost key players from a smaller pool of players than before whilst managing Europe too. He probably has been naive and made mistakes but i think he's still done well enough

He’s done a fine job. That’s not what the thread is about. If it wasn’t for the hype I’d have absolutely no issue with him. 
 

But he’s been linked to the Liverpool, Barca and Bayern jobs in the past couple of weeks. People seem to be acting like he’s an elite manager

[OutByEaster?]

It seems like it's an unusually not-overrated group - there's no Gerrard or Lampard in there.

I think he could be a very good manager tbh. Brighton are in Europe, past a group stage, and are 5 points off 6th despite having not spent anywhere near the teams around them (maybe Wolves).

I understand the overrated nod in that he’s being linked to big jobs, but that’s because he’s doing a ridiculously good job with a team that shouldn’t be anywhere near where they are in the table…

…which is why I’ve had to vote for Pochettino.

Villa are overhyped and lucky. Spent loads too.

I went for Frank but I mainly hate the way he chews his gum with his mouth open.

[VillaChris]

I'd probably say Arteta.

Won FA cup in 2020 but his cup record aside from that is very very poor. Not even sure they'll get past Porto.

So they're going out of all the cups early to concentrate on the league rather than fighting on 2 or 3 fronts as Liverpool and Man. City consistently do. 

Even Man. United and Ten Hag finished one place behind them last season and they also got to both domestic cup finals (and were in the europa league longer than Arsenal).

He's done well in the league last 18 months but can he overachieve and actually win the title or will they just be nearly men under him?

He hasn't managed since Chelsea ditched him........again

I like Postecoglu but I see why people dont like him. Its not his fault he is a straight forward speaker but managing Spurs ruins any goodwill

If he managed Fulham he wouldnt get same attention but he would be admired for his words

Pochettino is an incredibly exciting manager. He's perfect for Chelsea right now, and they're idiots if they sack him. They don't deserve him, actually.

But as great as Poch is for that club's ludicrously expensive, youthful squad, he's overrated. I think he's the most overrated in the PL, on balance, but that by no means makes him a poor manager -- just one who has been absurdly hyped. No one at Chelsea even understands what he's good at. Here's what he's good at: Young players and building community. But will Chelsea give him a real chance? Probably not. Their loss ...

The question wasn't bad manager. It was "most overrated." Given Chelsea's situation (after all, even the much-battered and formerly hyped ETH seems to do more with less), and Poch's recent pedigree, there's just no other contender for this poll winner who achieves the same levels of media puffery matched with mediocre PL performances.

I agree for the most part, do think it's unfair to call him most overrated in the league though

Be interesting to see how the English media react when they hit a real bad patch and his matey routine starts to look a bit more passive aggressive 

[GlobalVillan]

Guardiola is a cheating p**** in every sense so shouldn't even be in the list as he simply doesnt count as a reputable person never mind manager. 

That said, Ive gone for him precisely because he can only win by cheating. Just like his shit club.

(I know that will piss off the few Man City fan boys on this forum but oh well)

Yeah like I said, he’s doing a good job. It’s just not as good as is being made out, imo

Talked about in another thread and someone said they can see him getting a step up via a big serie a team, that I can see, someone like Liverpool, bayern or barca going for him is madness though, he's not there yet

That doesn't mean he's a bad manager or Brighton are shit it's just that's he's done nothing to get a seat at the top table 

Did think the links to huge clubs nicely co-incide with Brighton being 9th rather than really pushing on this season, sign of a good agent 

Edit - worth noting that discussion about top table tops also involved alonso, let's be honest alonso has a playing career which will do some heavy lifting for him, de Zerbi doesn't have those links (bar 1 year at napoli?)
