Who is the biggest fraud manager: Rodgers, LVG or Pellegrini

Poll

Which manager is the biggest fraud

Pellegrini inept in Europe and carried in the league by Aguero and Toure despite having arguably the best squad and world class players in every position. Terrible manager, anyone else would be up there at top of the league right now.

Rodgers is a clear fraud. Was carried by Suarez and Sturridge last season, exposed as being tactically naive this season and wasted £120 million on average players, leaks goals like he has diahorrea and his team can't score goals. Won manager of the year last season, lol worthy.

LVG has looked terrible- spent £150 million, bought questionable players, ignored clear deficiencies in defence for United and instead bought a crocked striker, sold our only striker with pace leaving us laboured up front. Also plays terrible formations and resorts to Stoke football with Afro. Living off reputation, out of the title race by October.

Personally Pellegrini is the biggest fraud for me. Poll added. Discuss.

Same Pellegrini who saw his Real Madrid crashing out of Copa del Rey to 3rd division team Alcorcon by 4 goals to 0. Same Pellegrini who saw his Real Madrid crash out of the 1st knockout round of CL that same season by Lyon, and finish the season as runners-ups in La Liga.

He's a good manager. Just not one for the absolute top-tier teams in terms of squad. Valencia/Malaga are more up his alley which is why things worked out during his tenures there.

As the Real Madrid manager he copped C. Ronaldo, Benzema and Xabi Alonso that same summer transfer window. Really should've done better.

Should've absolutely destroyed the PL last season with the squad he had at hand at ManCity compared to what Liverpool/Chelsea had to offer. But instead ManCity won it by the absolute skin of their teeth only because Chelsea went to Anfield doing City's job for them.

Rodgers.
Rodgers by far. The other 2 have their flaws, but at least they've won something.
I'm not answering this now. I don't rate Van Gaal, Pellegrini and Rodgers excellent last season not great this season. We'll talk in May.

Would Klopp be good at Liverpool? I mean he's been awful at Dortmund this year. Why is that? Why have they been so bad?

A manager is only as good as their last result in the eyes of fans.

Pellegrini.

So it seems.

Pellegrini is the biggest fraud clearly. He has world class players in every position x2 yet is already essentially out of the title race by November.

Too early to include Pochettino in this thread?
Extremely harsh to include Pellegrini. Won the title and the league cup in his first season and got City to give their best Champions League perfomance so far.

Ok, they have had some terrible results against CSKA and not been tearing it up in the league like Chelsea but it's early days. They didn't have the best start last season either and see how turned out.

Potentially yes. I did include an ''other'' which Wenger/Poch can fall into though.
You're nowhere near being out of the title race when 8 points behind in November.
Rodgers. Without Suarez to enforce the "we'll score more than you" mentality, his complete lack of defensive knowledge has been found out. Not seen a Liverpool manager this inept in a while
lol at calling Pellegrini a fraud. Guy has worked wonders with Villareal and Malaga.

Imo it's just LVG, guy almost got Barca relegated ffs

Same Pellegrini who fluked a title win with bottlejob of Liverpool and Chelsea, same Pellegrini who got tactically outwitted by CSKA, same Pellegrini who has world class players in every position x2 yet has to be bailed out by Yaya and Aguero every match and even then still can't win (QPR game e.g.).

LVG is no fraud, man utd are going through an injury crisis this season and not having a settled back 4 is tough for any top team

Yeah this is absolutely spot on. Will quote into OP.

Man City SHOULD have walked the league last year - and the fact they didn't is largely down to the players, not Pellegrini.
Pellegrini. Without a doubt.

Rodgers

LVG

Wenger
