I am not really sure who exactly you are making out that I am out of the ones I nominated to be honest, but with comments like that I would suggest there is little point getting into a debate with you. A couple of the ones I nominated are likers of the cram cakes so your name doesn't help me there either really.
I am allowed to talk about people at clubs other than my own - sort of the whole point of this message board really!
I will come on tomorrow praising a particularly successful player so that I can be accused of being that guy then too.

Ok then, help me out with a couple of the people included. Yes I've heard that mark sampson is an excellent manager but what did he win last season? And the Corriedale manager again what did they acheive?? The winning of any league is a much bigger acheivement than winning a cup.

Sampson and Yates both achieved great things with clubs of little to no money.
A Manager at Taffs Well or Cardiff Corries cannot win the league witrh their resources. Sampson put together a great team for the resources available and lets not forget that when he took that job on a year and a bit ago they were getting beaten 4 and 5 every week!
Yates took over Corries when they has 12 points on the board near Christmas and were all but confined to relegation. They are club whoere not only do the players not get paid, they have to pay to play - in a league were theousands of pounds a week are spent on players. Despite the enlarged drop zone they survived.
I know it is easy to point at the managers who won silverware, but in Division 1 the budgets involved mean that in reality there are only ever 2 or 3 teams who can win it - it's a big achievement to do it but there are people in every league who do very well in the circumstances fo their particular clubs.
I started this thread to get suggestions from people and I gave three myself. Not many others nominated, so I added the others from people who were spoken highly of at the Welsh league Dinner when I asked around.
My personal favourite for it would be Mike Jones at Caerau who put together a team almost entirely of players developed through their own youth structure. All local lads apparently and the majority of them were the same boys who only avoided relegation last season because Garw had played ineligible players - a hell of a turnaround!
My vote will be cast shortly!

I agree with you then on a couple of points. I watched Taffs a couple of times last season and they play fantastic football and have a very young side. Great to watch and all credit to the manager. Reagrding the corries am led to believe that they improved following the signing of a few former players and a new signing? If the manager got these players in then he deserves the credit for this and for keeping them up?

a cynic might say that ton pentre's goalkeeper's illness kept corries up.

An informed cynic may suggest that Ton Pentre's Goalkeeper's illness save GARDEN VILLAGE from the drop! www.welshleague.org.uk/newsletter.htmAs a side note.... Plenty of teams suffer illness and injury - a club with no reserve team having one goalkeeper on their books is disaster waiting to happen incidentally!
