The Ronny Deila Thread

Should have been Neilson imo, with Ronny 2nd. Hughes only got to the final through an honest mistake and hasnt performed hugely above expectations in the league.

 

Third in the whole country with an attendance on par with Derry City is good going

 

I would say Neilson by a distance as well. Mcinnes should be nowhere near it

 

Neilson should have won it

 

Neilson did well - but Hearts had the better team from the beginning. The only reason they weren't favourites was that people vastly overrated Sevco.

 

It's decent, but again, I'd probably put McInnes infront of him as well. Hughes has performed above expectations, yes, but not to the extent of McInnes or Neilson. And you can't discount a manager that has won 2/3 competitions in the country. Aberdeen are miles ahead of Caley. And Utd got to a cup final and Falkirk got to a cup final and they are in the 1st div.

For me:

1. Neilson
2. Ronny
3. McInnes
4. Hughes

I suppose the SFA cant take into account honest mistakes as well.

 

McInnes under performed in 2 out of 3 competitions he entered and ultimately failed to make an upset in the league, Aberdeen finished exactly where they were expected to. I'd have Hughes above him.

Done above what was expected in the league, got to a cup final, putting us out on the way (regardless of honest mistake they still done very well to put us out), all with a tiny budget and adapting to losing their star striker of the previous 4 years.

 

Are you saying Aberdeen did exactly what they were expected to do this season? They had that long unbeaten run and clocked up their highest points tally in like 30 years. They completely blew 'the rest' out of the water and the top 6 bar us pretty much all have similar budgets. i.e. nothing.

League form shows much more than cup triumphs. You can get far in a cup with a dodgy decision or two (like Hughes). You can only maintain league form over a season if you have good enough players and a good enough management team.

Also Caley got knocked out in the 2nd round of the League cup. Before we even entered.

 

Oh well no real surprise Ronny didn't get it.
The papers will be full of it tomorrow, then they will be full of fish and chips on Wednesday ..

 

They still did really though, how many players from the 10 other diddy teams in the League would get a game for Aberdeen? probably only about 3. So they have by far the 2nd strongest side.

 

They were expected to finish 2nd, they finished 2nd.

 

Not too bothered about Ronny not winning it, he'll win it before he's done here at Celtic.

What I can't get my head around in Hughes winning it. They're only in the final because of dodgy refereeing and they haven't won a league game since mid Feburary for * sake, and that was against St Mirren!

Totally baffling.

 

We were expected to win at least two of the three cups this season, actually that's the case every seasons. So by your logic because that's what was expected then no Celtic manager should get manager of the year unless he gets the treble?

 

Depends on other factors as well, Aberdeen were also expected to do better in the cups. Also depends on stuff like if they were doing well in Europe or managed above a certain expectation.

Granted, Aberdeen done well in the league, very well actually but they u,timately done what was expected and failed in the other competitions they were expected to compete well in.

 

Doesn't tell the whole story at all. You sayijg he would only win the award and do the impossible and win the league?

Anyway, Neilson had a better case than both, as well as Ronny.

 

Nah, if he performed better in the cups, maybe win something he would be a deserved winner.

Getting ten or so more points than expected in the league doesn't quite cut it for me.

 

A think it's fair to say regarding the league, even though they were favourites for 2nd place, Aberdeen were clearly managed above expectations. They've been incredible, that run un beating with the exception to us going back last October was unbelievable. A doubt they were expected to finish 18 points ahead of third place and that's looking possible.

European competitions having nothing to do with the SPL. So going by your logic if Deila doesn't win the treble next season he shouldn't in the running, I'll be remembering you about that:smiley-laughing002:

Just seen John Hughes won it. Pish, Neilson or McInnes deserved way more than him. Neilson should of won it though, guys been robbed.

 

It's not just who done best in the SPFL though? It's about the best manager in Scotland, I've always thought Europe was brought into that? Since you're representing a Scottish club there or you're juggling that many competitions.

Still not saying that btw, all I think Aberdeen have done this season is get an extra 9/10 points more than they were expecting, they'll be dissapointed themselves in the cups.

It's not just about what you win and what you achieve on the field though for me, best manager is how they also develop their clubs. Lots of factors to it, Aberdeen done well in the league, ultimately I think their season has been dissapointing though.

 

I'm not saying he should have won it, Neilson should have, but an honest decision to put given to in a cup semi final and then probably beating a mid table second tier team whilst picking up one or two more points in the league doesn't quite cut it for me.

Also he's not won the cup yet? What if he gets beat off Falkirk? And he got beat in the 2nd round of the league cup. No where near enough.

 

People that are raging ronny didn't win manager of the year award need to take their green tinted specs off, leading inverness to 3rd is more impressive than anything ronny has done so far, as much as I like him
