Digital Pimpin':
I agree about Hodgson, but this is the Premier League manager of the year award so that rules out his European exploits.

The England players should actually try watching that.

Redknapp named best boss by Premier League

Harry Redknapp has been named Premier League Manager of the Year after breaking into the top four with Tottenham.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have monopolised the UEFA Champions League positions in recent seasons and were expected to dominate once more this term.

Manchester City were tipped to mount a strong challenge after investing heavily in their squad, with the likes of Tottenham, Aston Villa and Everton considered outsiders.

But Spurs have enjoyed a stunning campaign, recording victories over Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool at White Hart Lane.

Other highlights included the 9-1 demolition of Wigan in November, as well as the 1-0 triumph at Manchester City on Wednesday that guaranteed Champions League qualification for the first time in the club's history.

Tottenham could even finish third if they beat Burnley in their final game on Sunday and Arsenal slip up against Fulham.

Redknapp, who took charge in October 2008 when Spurs were bottom of the table, was thrilled with the accolade but paid tribute to his players and the rest of the backroom staff.

What do you guys think?
In my opinion I think the award should have gone to Hodgson for what he have achieved with Fulham this season. I am not just saying this cause it is Tottenham; I admit Redknapp has done an amazing job at WHL breaking into the Top 4, but taking Fulham to the Europa League final is even bigger in my opinion.

As digital said, as its simply the premiership manager it doesnt take into account Hodgson's European journey. STILL though, no love for McLeish? He deserves it more than Redknapp. Redknapp has effectively just turned Spurs from a top 6 team into a top 4 team. I'd say its harder to turn a Championship team into a top 10 Premiership team in one year than move from a UEFA Cup team to a Champions League team...especially since Liverpool did everything within thier power to allow it to happen.
