I for one would be happy if he always got beaten and was always nominated as we would go up

    He can win Manager of the Year in May.

    Do you honestly believe there is some sort of mystical aura by which the manager of the month award actually has an impact on the next game?

    The number of people who believe in this nonsense is ridiculous.

    How many times did we win it with Lennie and Curbs? What happened when they won each time? We had a dip in form!

    I think it depends on the manager's star sign

    That is a classic example of cherry picking. And even if it that did happen under Lennie and Curbs, I refuse to accept that the manager of the month award caused the team to lose the next game.

    Didn't realise that Curbs was chair of the judging panel.

    Just trying to point out it's a fallacy, that's all. Same as the 'new manager effect'.

    People do know that already.
    I've always thought the 'curse' is generally referenced with tongue firmly in cheek.

    No mystical aura about it.

    Empirical fact, tested by forensic investigation, rigorous statistical analysis and DNA swabs.

    Otherwise known to the non-scientific community as Sod's Law.

    I wasn't saying if he won it we would have a dip in form just saying if in goes close every month and never won it we would go up. Five points clear after 11 games and unbeaten and no manager of the month. That's all I was getting at.

    No need to explain. We all happy he didn't win... well all apart from dabos.

    I thinks it's called regression to the mean. You win the award after a better than usual run of games, and when you return to average form, it looks like a dip or a jinx.

    I'll get my coat.

    I'm so pleased you brought this up, it's ridiculous to think that way, what do I think? Well I'm pleased Powell didn't win it, history has shown that players take there foot on the gas and think they've made it, Chris has one aim this season, and I don't think manager of the month is it.

    It's none of the above, it has to do with the manager's height.....
