He’s done an amazing job.
The turnaround has been great to watch (even as a Spurs fan).
Excellent recruitment (Dawson has been very good at CB, Coufal has been a revellation at RB and they picked him up for relative peanuts and Soucek and Rice have been brilliant in the middle giving a platform for Antonion and his electric pace)
Their attitude has been spot on and they've never given up (3-0 down to Spurs in the 82nd min to come back and draw 3-3 was galling for Spurs but that summed their season up)
Next season will be a huge test for them. They dont have a huge squad and they'll need it for the Europa League. Thurs Sun Thurs Sun weeks are a killer especially when you can be away for 3 of the 4 games.
Up to GSB to splash the cash and boost their squad numbers but they're going to have all the big boys going after Rice and Soucek.
Bloke has effectively been ridiculed everywhere and has been no more than a meme since taking the Man Utd job.
Be curious to see how they do next year, just to see if this was a flash in the pan season for him
Either way though it should detract from his achievements this term
He was under a lot of pressure being so far behind Liverpool last year and had a terrible start to the season, 13th in table on 21st Nov 9 games in and just taken a pounding off Spurs. No panic though, and the run that followed was incredible. Yes he’s got the resources most others haven’t, but that could easily have gone wrong this years. As it stands, it’s a minimum double season and could well be a Champions League treble on Saturday.
Rodgers may have been in the running but missing out on 4th was a disappointment for them. They won the cup but Leicester have a pretty decent squad now and with Liverpool having a poor run and Spurs/Arsenal not being particularly good, they did run out of steam again for the second season in a row.
Man City have been superb, and perhaps slightly harshly on Pep their quality means there's always a certain level of expectation. But they've still met, and probably exceeded that, and do so by playing great football. Boost for England too, with the emergence of Foden and the re-emergence of Stones.
Bielsa has done a superb job and fair play to Leeds. I do feel they've been helped by a number of teams doing poorly, particularly in front of goal. Newcastle have been poor for 3/4 of the season and ended up finishing 12th. The 10 point gap between 11th and 12th shows the league was pretty much split into two, with none of those bottom nine ever looking particularly good. However I think both Leeds and Villa have done well to become part of that top 11.
I can't bring myself to vote wet spam , only thing going for them is they hate the scum

Bielsa would be my 2nd choice. What a job he has done at Leeds and with a 3-3-3-1 system - wtf!
Bielsa has mainly kept the same team he has had for the last two years, played the football we all have witnessed previously and not changed his style of philosophy for anything. They were unbeaten at home against the so called big six, they won away at the champions, and they proved everyone wrong that they apparently burn out at the end of the season.
It's not a surprise to me that when they started to get the spine of the team fit, mainly their defenders, the results were fantastic. Had they not had the injuries they had in defence, I wouldn't be surprised if they finished in a European place.
For me, it has to be Bielsa.
Moyes has done really well. Annoyingly. But it was a crap year overall, which he's exploited fair and square. West Ham will be nowhere near as competitive next year but if Leicester invest wisely, with the job Rogers has done I'd expect them to be up there again in the top 6 or 7.
Plus he finally won them the FA Cup for heavens sake.
