but people spend a lot of time on here pretending they watch non-league football. Surely they can name a few non-prem stalwarts?

It was WADE ELLIOTT

unless I’m misunderstanding, Clement was sacked by Derby so didn’t go directly from there to Swansea either.

Brian Laws?

big fan of the look on Matic’s face there, knows he’s 73 places too low

oh so he was,

Laws was out of work for a few months between wednesday and burnley. Think Ince is still the most recent, which seems quite a long time, but maybe it’s because Ince was very bad

he was very very bad, but at least he gave us this:

Paul Sturrock?

they’re all great managers but which of these is best

  • Allardyce
  • Hodgson
  • Moyes
  • Pardew

was 4 years earlier than Ince

I would probably take Pardew for the first six months but Allardycci for a longer period.

Is Roy the only manager on that list not to have publicly claim he could manage any club in the world?

Hodgson has more Europa League final appearances than the rest combined, and he’s obviously the most decent human

I’d go as far as to describe Roy as a good lad.

The rest I would only occasionally describe as human.

Could happily enjoy his company and reckon he’d be a decent person to go for a pint (not wine) with. Good owl lad

He’s read books and everything - he’s pretty much a DiS grandad.

yeah I dunno where all this Welbeck praise is coming from, I know he’s had injuries but he’s hardly on form and he’s never scored more than 10 in a PL season

Yeah, seriously it’s Roy. Obviously for the purposes of the above poll, it’s Big Allardyce.

He missed two years at a really crucial stage of his development. I maintain that he would have been a very good player indeed without them though.

seems like a decent lad
bantered off man united
runs around a lot

Oh aye, no doubting that but would you really put him on the plane for 2018? Seems a foolish choice

I bet Roy hasn’t got a villa, with a plaque of a football, with ‘Big Roy’s Villa’ written on it though
